so what do you see at the forum admin menu?  sounds like perhaps your account is not an SP admin… Keep in mind, that a WP admin is not an SP admin…  SP admin capabilities have to be granted…

My SP user rank is Admin. Screenshot attached of the forum menu options available to my user:

So – whoever set you up only gave you access to a small sub-set of the options available.

Open the menu item ‘Admins’ and see if you have a ‘Manage Admins’ entry and if so – open that and see if you can add capabilities to your user entry. The one you want in particular is ‘Integration’ but as an Admin I would suggest you select all of them if you can.

If you do not have ‘Manage Admins’ or can not add to your admin capabilities then you may need to login as the ‘Admin’ who set the forum up for you.

Thanks, I was worried about that. I don’t have those options and as far as I can tell the original admin user was removed or downgraded (the dev no longer works on the project). Any other options for upgrading my permissions? It’s managed hosting, but I do have access to a database console. 

Can anyone help me on this? I see a table called `wp_sfmembers` with promising sounding fields like `admin` and `admin_options`, but obviously I’d rather not mess around blindly with our data.

To recap, my ultimate goal is getting the forum-generated links to use our new domain. If adding permissions to my forum user allows me to do this via the admin, that sounds ideal. 

Apologies – I don’t know how this got missed.

First in the sfmembers table set the column ‘Admin’ in your user record to 1.

Then follow the steo in this thread: https://simple-press.com/support-forum/sp5-general-topics/manually-add-new-simplepress-forum-administrator/#p158568

That should do the trick.

Success! Permissions added, forum permalinks updated to the new domain… everything’s beautiful. Thank you!

Excellent. Again – sorry we missed yesterdays post and made you wait
