One more thing, I do have all members assigned to the groups that they are designated for.

We are going to have to do this one thing at a time - and it could possibly be that your admin save issues are related to permissions any way.

Your permissions - the sfauths table - are basically empty. I am afraid I have no idea why or how but they have all gone missing. The only ones you have in there are from activated piugins. It almost looks as if the 'reset' you performed ws interrupted in some way which leaves me wondering if you just have some kind of database update issue effecting everything.

So let's tackle this one short step at a time.

It can not get any worse than having an empty sfauths table so - in the gorunm admin go to the permissions section, open the 'Reset Permission' panel and when displayed click on the 'reset permissions' blue button.

When that comes back - i.e., reloads - note the message in the yellow popup. Then click on 'Manage Permission Sets' from the menu and open any one of the permission records. There should be something like 40-50 individual permission items within each set.  Do you see all of these or just a small handful? And if still just a small handful what was the message after the reset?

I swear I had reset those permissions once already, but this time it WORKED!

You rawk thank you so much!

I sure wish I could find a developer that would give me the ability to use Bitcoin with Marketpress/CubePoints 

If you ever find yourself board, I could probably put as much as $100 to be able to accept bitcoin payments via a bitcoin daemon with marketpress and/or cubepoints.

 

Thanks so much!  I feel my investment in your site is VERY worth the while.  Cheers~!

So progress. Excellent.

Now how about the editing of your admin caps? Is that solved too?

By the way - I noticed from your video that you were changing multiple permission records all at the same time and then using a single update button. You actually need to update them one at a time after a change although I appreciate that is not too clear. (It used to be that if you opened a second permission set to look at then opened one would close making it more obvious. I will have to look into why it is not doing that now).

Thanks for asking about that.  No the admin permissions is still a problem.  I can't changed those still.

Also I did figure that out about adding the permissions one section at a time.

 

I haven't used SPF for about a year.   I hope I can get it all tidied up, because I love the cubepoints plugin, and that is ultimately what got me interested in having a forum on my site again.

 

Thanks for your help!

on the admin caps, can you try adding them one at a time? on some machines, the js can be bit slow and the 'click' may not get taken if too close to the other one even though the color gets changed... not likely the issue, but would like to rule things out and doing just one cap update does...

for an example moderator, can you look in the db, in the wp usermeta table, for this users ID, can you look at their meta entry for wp_capabilities (your prefix might be other than wp_)...  would like to know the value before and after you try to add a cap...
