Please see this codex article: http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/faq/problem-with-post-edit-buttonow-to/problem-with-post-edit-buttonow-do-the-post-moderation-permissions-work/

I would also recommend the use of the SP Admin Bar plugin as this will make the task easier.

Hi Again!!! i fixed the permissions and the forum was working perfectly!! i approved some post, but for some reason now its not working. The button “need moderation” is showing 10 post that require moderation, but the button  is not functioning properly.

If you are referring to the element labelled ‘Need Moderation’ itself then that isn’t a button. It is just an informative label. The button for that is on the left – ‘View New Posts’. If THIS is the one that does nothing then that suggests you have a script conflict which will need t be tracked down. Do you know how to use the Error Console in Firefox to detect script errors?

Yellow Swordfish Thank you a lot for you help.

I have a new restlessness, The users of the forum are accumulating in wp-admin user page, or stated another way the members of the forum are becoming users of the wordpress website. 

Is there a way to avoid this? Or if i just delete them from the wp website, can they still be a users at the forum???

Thank you!

You need to visit the forum Options > Global Settings where you can restrict this

That just restrict the acces to the wp-admin pages but the registraton is still creating a users in wp, and wp-pages. Its possible just to create users just inside to the forum? Cuz if i get one hundred users in the forum, i will get a hundred user pages in WP.

Misunderstood,

SP is a WP plugin. The whole point of it is that it integrates and works within WP. There is no such thing as an SP user or a WP user as such. They are just all registered users.

So what is a ‘User Page’? Sorry but this is something new to me? This has to be something your WP theme is creating? Or more likely another plugin? Surely you can turn it off if you don’t want it.

The user page is where wordpress admin can create new admin users to the wordpress website to publish content etc. and grant different levels of access.   What is happening at the moment is that all forum registrations are appearing on this page, when we want them only to appear under simple press -> Users -> Memeber Information.

I see. You mean the admin Users listing page. I thought you meant a WP page was being published for each new user (for some reason).

Well as I say – as far as WP is concerned they are all just users. You do have a set of filter buttons at the top left so that you can filter by WP role.

So, this happens is a normal occurance with all wordpress website owners who use simple press forums?
