If it takes time, then that would suggest you are caching the forum pages which you cannot do...   there is no facility in sp for delaying post arrival...

No, those are the proper two to be set to 1...

the admin issue you are experiencing could be related to serving cached pages too... make sure no caching...

verify on forum - admins - manage admins you are listed as admin... and in sfmembers table, verify your user_id has the admin column set to 1...

I'm quite sure we're not running any caching plugins, unless Rackspace is doing something like that as a 'service' for all of their WP installs.  

I'll check.

Will also check on those other db tables per your instructions.

Thanks.

We are really talking about a WP cache plugin like wp-super-cache or wp-total-cache...

cdn has been an issue for some folks... if the cdn is wp aware, they think of a page as static... not good here... but the cdn can usually exclude wp pages if that is the case...

Nice.  That'll be good.  

Mr Papa was correct; Rackspace runs xCache by default for all their php applications, had to override that in .htaccess, like so:

php_flag xcache.cacher Off
php_flag xcache.size 0
php_flag xcache.stat Off

Ok, confirmed.  In form >> admins I'm listed as an admin, and in sfmembers, my uid has the admin column set to 1.

The moderator column is set to 0, though.  Could that be it?

sorry, confused... the caching was fixed?  and still issue?

no, moderators are different from admins... and you cannot be both...

It seemed to be; previously, people would post and it would take minutes for the post to appear.  Now it takes about three full seconds; so not great, but the posts actually do appear when the page refreshes.

Understood admins cannot be moderators, but as an admin, I should never get an 'access denied, you don't have permissions' error, correct?  That is still happening...

as an sp admin, you get all permissions... but not as wp admin...

if you got to our profile, the permissions menu, run through the forums in question and lets verify your permissions there...

where are you seeing that error?  always?
