When it comes to Manage Permissions, I haven’t changed anything so it must have happened in the upgrade (is that even possible?). No matter what, I would definately like to address the issue, by putting everything back to standard. Is there any way (or any button anywhere) that gives me the opportunity to reset all permissions to standard/default?
no… but its pretty quick and painless…
on the manage forums admin panel… in the accordion menu… you will see ‘add global permission set’…
use that and set:
guests to limited access
members to standard access
moderators to moderator access
and you will be at default… you will have to click on that ‘add global permission’ button three times – once per global permission…
if you have created any other usergroups, you may want to assign a global permission for it too…
You are missing the point Steve. This guy upgraded and all the base permission set data was set to off. The roles are there but everything turned off.
No, wasnt missing the point… he asked how to get everything back to standard… just answered the question 
was letting you work the other part with him since you had been….
Bugtracking continues:
So, to find out which are the default settings for Permissions, I installed Simple:Press 5 on another wordpress site. The install went fine, and the forum works great on the new site. I went in to the settings of both sites and started comparing them, on the permission settings for “Read Only Access”. These are my findings:
1. The old site has a blue admin interface and the new site a grey admin interface. Strange but not frightening.
2. The new site has fewer options in the “Read Only Access”-panel. Missing are the following:
– Can report a post to administrators
– Can upload images in posts
– Can upload media in posts
– Can upload other files in posts
– Can upload signature images
– Can change the status of a topic
On the other hand, are they really missing? Maybe these should have been deleted from this view in the upgrade?
3. When trying to update the permissions by activating the four permissions in the old site (in an attempt to correspond to the settings of new site) I get the following error message.
So how best to fix. If you know how to get into the databases then you could manually transfer the settings from one to the other (i.e,. your new install to the old install). Or – what I think I would do would be to remove all of the current broken permission sets and rebuild the ones you actually want one at a time. and to be honest, rather than just use our default settings it would be better to think about each permission and who will be using them to hone them as you feel they should be set up.
Sorry you are having these problems and even more sorry that I can not explain the root cause.
1. Ok, cool. And nice, cause now I have changed to the new fresh look!
2. Ah, it’s one of those: “it’s not a bug – it’s a feature!” I like it 🙂
3. I’ll track one of my database friends down in the near future (next week) and ask him/problem-with-post-edit-buttoner to help. Will get back to you in this thread on how it goes.
Now our forum is up and running again, after some enginerring work by tech friends. Somehow the database scheme hadn’t been updated som columns were missing and one column hade a different name than it should have had. Hopefully we havent missed to many differences now from how it should look, but at least it works for now.
