I upgraded from SP 4.5 to 5.2.2 this morning.
I followed the directions as best I understood them here: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....rsion-4-5/
When upgrade was complete my website still acts as normal but when I attempt to access my Forums page I get the following notification: The requested group does not exist or you do not have permission to view it
So, I double check permissions and there the confusion begins.
I can't seem to find a way to assign a permissions set to a usergroup, nor to assign a usergroup to a permissions set.
When attempting to edit the permissions sets the green panel I had with all the selections (three columns worth) can't be found.
When attempting to go into a user I can't edit their profile. The only choices are view profile (basically just shows their avatar and group assignment) or delete user.
So, I guess the first thing to ask is how do I get the forums accessible?
After that the other questions will need to be addressed as well.
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Oh, one more thing.
The forums do exist as I can manage the groups previously set up and defined, and the posts appear to still exist. It's just that no users can access the forums page.

I reset the permissions as advised in a similar post I found. That seems to have made the forums accessible again but I don't see how to assign permission sets to a usergroup.
ie. Members should be allowed standard access, moderators moderator access, admins full access, etc.

Are you able and willing to take a look in your database? It would be worth doing a quick data check before starting to diagnose and advise. If you can then can you check two table for data. In particular - how many rows of data does each table have. These are 'sfauths' and 'sfauthcats'. And when it comes to 'sfauthcats', assuming 8 entries - is the authcat_id numbered 1 to 8?

Ok - we crossed posts there. I see you didn't wait so that answers those questions above.
User Groups and Permission Sets are assigned to a forum in exactly the same way in V5 as they were in V4 - through the Admin > Manage Groups and Forums panel - View Forum Permissions button over on the right.

Got all previous questions figured out.
Now, next question, where is my inbox/private message capability? How did that get lost?
Edit:
Figured out that PM is not a plugin and no longer built-in. ( I did not set up the original install of WP/SP, please forgive my ignorance ).
I've searched and not found any places to download Simple:Press themes other than the three themes available in the them library. Are there any other sources for SP theme downloads? I did find a page that took me to a theme builder who would create a custom theme but I'm just looking for some other color options to match the forums to the Games Mania theme we're using as our WP theme.

have you checked the overlay files available? There are quite a few different colour combinations in there. go to your SP theme panel and select the overlays from the drop down list.
Currently I know of no other source of themes however.
