Hi there. I have just upgraded to SP V5 successfully. Everything went smoothly except that now I am unable to create a new thread or reply to a post because the buttons "New topic" or reply are not working. I have tried to disable W3 Total Cache but the problem remains the same. I have excluded the forum page from W3 Cache. You can find the forum here:

Kindly let me know what could be the problem.

well. the button works. you get redirected to the forum page, but js does not work on the site...

its because everything is still being cached... from your site:

if you use w3 total cache you must ignore the forum page for ALL caching types you use...

Hi,

I run v5. Recently, my "Add Reply" button disappeared. Any ideas why and how to get it back?

so what has changed?

is the template tag for the button function call still in your template file? In this case, the spTopicView.php of the sp theme you are using...

For what should I be looking in the spTopicView.php file?

something like this:

sp_PostNewButton('tagId=spPostNewButtonTop&tagClass=spButton spRight', __sp('Add Reply'), __sp('Add a new post in this topic'), __sp('This topic is locked'));

its the call to sp_sp_PostNewButton() with your options that dictate the button coming out...

if its there, then you need to make sure the user in question has permission to add reply to topics...

so if it was working, what changed?

The code is there so that means that my permissions somewhere got mixed up. I haven't changed a thing. Everything worked well up until two days ago. Where do I reset permissions for my users? It looks like everyone lost post permission. Any ideas why this happened so randomly?

almost nothing happens randomly.... didnt you have an upgrade issue? did the permissions ever end up right after that?

go to forum - permissions- manage permissions and you can see what the various permission sets are...

if you want to reset the permissions to default AND you are running 5.0.2, you can go to forum - permissions - reset permissions and reset them to the install state....

I have done this and still, when I view permissions for my members, their permissions don't add up to the permissions that I have set for my members. I give my members standard access and when I view their permissions, they can only view topics, posts, and links. Any ideas what's going on here? Thank you.

have you read our controlling access section of the codex? http://codex.simple-press.com/.....ng-access/

explains how you combine usergroups (collection of users) with a permission set (collection of permissions) and apply them to a forum to control access and permissions?

once you update the permissions in manage permissions, you have to pair that set with a usergroup and apply it to a forum... then users in that usergroup get those permissions...
