I’ve got a new install of simple press, I tested it out and everything worked fine for me as an admin, and also as just a standard user.

A user is having trouble replying to a thread, (and I presume everyone else has the problem too, because no-one has replied).

First the user said the problem was with the math moderation, it wasn’t working correctly. So I removed that option. THen they said when trying to reply they get told they don’t have permission to do it.

Then a SP theme update was available, so I did that. And now the user can’t see the reply option at all. And neither can I when logged in as a standard user.

I’m not sure what else to do?

I’ve attached a screen shot in Member view, there is only an ‘add topic’, which wasn’t there previously.
Ironically, I posted a comment saying it worked, and then it stopped working..ForumCapture.PNG

I’ve tried resetting all the permissions, but Members still see a ‘Post New Topic’ instead of ‘Reply’.

I think it’s working now. I reset everything again and reassigned the permissions again.

I would encourage you to review the permissions – at least all of those you are using. It is worth spending just a few minutes ensuring you have them all set as you want them.
Come back if things go awry after they are set as you need to have them.
