I am having a problem. Members (registered users) cannot reply to or add topics. When I check the permissions, the standard permission set is active for members. I tried registering as a regular user and when I log in as that test user, I cannot reply to or add topics.
Any idea why this is?
Thanks

Again the problem was an .htaccess file in the wp-content folder. The .htaccess file blocks access to the wp-content folder for php scripts. However, I have 7 plugins on my site but none are affected other than Simple:Press. What is Simple:Press trying to access in the directory? The Captcha plugin and the ability to Add Topic or Reply topic were affected, but not login or registration.
Thanks

in wp-content? thats a standard location where plugins store info... if you look at forum - integration - storage locations, you can see which data you are storing there...

Thanks, actually I don't need to know the data being accessed. The .htaccess file blocks php script access to the wp-content directory. Therefore, I need to know which php scripts accesses the directory so that I can grant them access to the directory in the .htaccess file.
The Add Topic and Add Reply scripts apparently access the directtory, but only for members and not for admins. With the Captcha plug-in, the script that manages the images must try to access the directory because it doesn't work with .htaccess file either. So I need the names of these scripts to revise the htaccess file.

Oh goodness - there are going to be lots of them!
I would search through the main plugin folder and the SP plugins folder under sp-resources and start by looking fr anything that uses the $SPPATH global (note that changes in 5.3.1 to $spPath). I will have to think on whether that will get them all - probably not but will need some thought.

Would the scripts share a common base name or prefix so that I could use regex to filter them for access?

All of our php scripts are, I believe, either prefixed with 'sp-' for the front end or 'spa-' for the admin.
Would this not be easier to just move the 'sp-resources' folder out of wp-content, put it where you want it, re-point the storage locations in the forum admin and allow access to it from all scripts?
