With wp 2.8.1. + SimplePress 4.0.3. one can't access any of the forum admin pages.

One gets a "You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page." message.

have you turned on the block admin option in the forum – options – global tab?  if so, turn it off and your users will be able to get to the back end (our MOST requested feature).

This option has been turned off (using wp 2.8). In wp 2.8.1. one can't even open that menu to change it.

The problem must have to do with the new permission checks in 2.8.1.

Why do you think that is applicable to SPF?? I ask because when that trac ticket was committed, I wondered what it was all about…

We do explicit permission checks… And we have been running 2.8.1 here with no issues…

I can try to do some more research too…

Well, of course…  leave it to the wp devs to change something and break plugins on a bug fix point release (one that shouldnt have been needed if they had properly tested in the first place!)…

Yes, this is going to cause problems with wp 2.8.1…   Its not released yet, so will see if we can get a ANOTHER wp compatibility release up before they release…

thanks for bringing this to our attention!

looks like its not really a permissions issue but they want menu and submenu pages added in a different order…

Are you up to trying a quick change for me to see if it solves it for you?

find file sf-admin-header.php…  in routine sfa_admin_menu(), we need to reorder the add menu and add subpage stuff…  do the add menu first and then the sub-menus…   its a fairly simple re-ordering, but will paste the whole routine

function sfa_admin_menu()
{
    global $current_user;

    $status = sf_get_system_status();
    if ($status == 'ok')
    {
        $parent = 'simple-forum/admin/sf-adminforums.php';

        if (sf_current_user_can('SPF Manage Options') ||
            sf_current_user_can('SPF Manage Forums') ||
            sf_current_user_can('SPF Manage Components') ||
            sf_current_user_can('SPF Manage User Groups') ||
            sf_current_user_can('SPF Manage Permissions') ||
            sf_current_user_can('SPF Manage Database') ||
            sf_current_user_can('SPF Manage Users') ||
            sf_current_user_can('SPF Manage Admins') ||
            sf_get_member_item($current_user->ID, 'moderator'))
        {
            if(function_exists('add_object_page'))
            {
                add_object_page('Simple:Press Forum', __('Forum', 'sforum'), 8, $parent, '', 'div');
            } else {
                add_menu_page('Simple:Press Forum', __('Forum', 'sforum'), 8, $parent, '');
            }

            add_submenu_page($parent, __('Online Help', 'sforum'), __('Online Help', 'sforum'), 0, 'simple-forum/admin/sf-adminpopuphelp.php');
        }

        if (sf_current_user_can('SPF Manage Forums'))
        {
            add_submenu_page($parent, __('Forums', 'sforum'), __('Forums', 'sforum'), 0, 'simple-forum/admin/sf-adminforums.php');
        }
        if (sf_current_user_can('SPF Manage Options'))
        {
            add_submenu_page($parent, __('Options', 'sforum'), __('Options', 'sforum'), 0, 'simple-forum/admin/sf-adminoptions.php');
        }
        if (sf_current_user_can('SPF Manage Components'))
        {
            add_submenu_page($parent, __('Components', 'sforum'), __('Components', 'sforum'), 0, 'simple-forum/admin/sf-admincomponents.php');
        }
        if (sf_current_user_can('SPF Manage User Groups'))
        {
            add_submenu_page($parent, __('Usergroups', 'sforum'), __('User Groups', 'sforum'), 0, 'simple-forum/admin/sf-adminusergroups.php');
        }
        if (sf_current_user_can('SPF Manage Permissions'))
        {
            add_submenu_page($parent, __('Permissions', 'sforum'), __('Permission Sets', 'sforum'), 0, 'simple-forum/admin/sf-adminpermissions.php');
        }
        if (sf_current_user_can('SPF Manage Users'))
        {
            add_submenu_page($parent, __('Users', 'sforum'), __('Users', 'sforum'), 0, 'simple-forum/admin/sf-adminusers.php');
        }
        if (sf_current_user_can('SPF Manage Admins') || sf_get_member_item($current_user->ID, 'moderator'))
        {
            add_submenu_page($parent, __('Admins', 'sforum'), __('Admins', 'sforum'), 0, 'simple-forum/admin/sf-adminadmins.php');
        }
        if (sf_current_user_can('SPF Manage Database'))
        {
            add_submenu_page($parent, __('Database', 'sforum'), __('Database', 'sforum'), 0, 'simple-forum/admin/sf-admindatabase.php');
        }
    } else {

        if(function_exists('add_object_page'))
        {
            $parent = 'simple-forum-install';
        } else {
            $parent = 'simple-forum/sf-loader.php';
        }

        if(function_exists('add_object_page'))
        {
            add_object_page('Simple:Press Forum', __("Forum", "sforum"), 'activate_plugins', $parent, '', 'div');
        } else {
            add_menu_page('Simple:Press Forum', __("Forum", "sforum"), 'activate_plugins', $parent, '');
        }

        if($status == 'Install')
        {
            add_submenu_page($parent, __("Install Simple:Press Forum", "sforum"), __("Install Simple:Press Forum", "sforum"), 'activate_plugins', 'simple-forum/sf-loader.php');
        } else {
            add_submenu_page($parent, __("Upgrade Simple:Press Forum", "sforum"), __("Upgrade Simple:Press Forum", "sforum"), 'activate_plugins', 'simple-forum/sf-loader.php');
        }
    }
}

Be careful when cutting and pasting as you will get munged quotes…  If you can make your way around code, I think it will be pretty obvious what the actual changes are (moved add menu page stuff before add submenu page)…

this fixes any issues for me, but would be nice to get confirmation…
