Hi, I just upgraded simple press from version 4.5.1 to the newest one.
Unfortunately, I can not see any option under the forum section and I click on the “What do you need to do?” link to go to the different options and associated tasks but in whatever associated task I click, I get the message “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page”.
It seems the “members” plugin had caused the problem. I disabled it and now simple press options are accessible. Let’s see.
I was just starting to type a reply when your follow up post came along. I was puzzled as I knew that was not a Simple:Press message! I am pretty sure we have people who use the ‘members’ plugin…
Whenever I enable it, simple:press stops functioning and displays the message above.
Unfortunately, without this plugin, my member’s permissions have been messed up. I haven’t yet succeed to enter to my forum. It keeps saying “The requested group does not exist or you do not have permission to view it” even for administrator.
So two things here,
The first sounds like it is in the province of your membership plugin, as that is where the message is coming from, disallowing access to the page. I have no clue how that plugin works of course but others I have seen add a permission to view section on the actual page details when editing the page. Have you looked there? And if that is not the place surely there must be something in the membership plugin’s setup where you set this stuff up?
And this is stopping access to the forum admin? Correct? It sounds like during the upgrade, somehow your forum permissions have become scrambled. You were updating a very old system! I would suggest that you briefly make the forum admin available and go to the Permissions section and run the task to reset permissions. This does mean you will need to set them up again but that it a fairly simple, if annoying, task.
Actually before dong that – try a less annoying option just in case. Go to the toolbox > housekeeping panel and run the task to Reset Auths Cache. It might possibly be all you need…
Thank you for your answer.
Actually, I had both member’s plugin and S2member and all these years I had created a lot of conflict roles that where also useless.
I deleted member’s plugin, I reconfigured S2members, I recreated simple:press user groups and now everything is clear and seems to work 🙂
