4 years old?  what version of SP?  and more importantly, what version of WP?  you might have a mismatch…

is the wp page the forum appears on still matched to the url?  check forum – integration – page and permalink…  might be worth trying a permalink update while there too…

Hey there Mr. Papa.

WordPress Version 3.9.1

Simple:Press Version 5.5

I also checked permalinks and slugs and they seem to be OK.  Integration shows the permalink to be http://stangsgarage.com/forum/

I’ve been over permissions, but nothing really stands out especially just for viewing the forums.

Thanks.

You seem to be having other problems at the moment – Error establishing a database connection – a WordPress error message. Please do let us know when that is resolved so we can come back and take a look.

It’s back.

I was actually trying to drop multi-site tables and broke things.

if you were coming from a version that old, perhaps try going to forum – permissions – reset permissions and try resetting them…

Not quite it, but you got me in the right direction.

No change when resetting permissions, but I looked further and saw under Forums Add Global Permission Set so I added guest and it worked.  I wonder, should I do the same for member and moderator?  If so, what would the correct permission set be for those two?

Thanks,

Stang

Which permission set to use or – indeed – if you need to create your own new ones – is really something you need to decide. The permission sets determine what users can and can not see and do so this is rather important.

But yes – to enable access to forums each user group will need a permission set pairing for each individual form.

Thanks guys..

Mr Papa, I’ll look at that link.
