Unable to save – You are not allowed to put links in post content

Hi All-

Just installed SimplePress 5.2.6 not long ago, and users are experiencing the inability to add links in their post content. Links won’t work whether they copy/paste a link into the editor OR if they use the link tool to create a link out of their text.

ERROR MESSAGE = 

Unable to save

You are not allowed to put links in post content

 

Anyone else ever had this problem? Our admins are able to post links with no problem.

TIA!

have you given users permission to use links (‘can create links in posts’)?

or on forum – options – content settings, how many links are you allowing in a post?

We are allowing 25 links p/post.

Where is this setting? >> given users permission to use links (‘can create links in posts’)?

Can you point us to where the permission “Can create links in post” is found.

I don’t see it listed as an option here http://wiki.simple-press.com/administration/permissions-panel/manage-permissions/

forum admin > Permissions > Manage Permission Sets.

You have allowed links in the forum posts but the permissions determine which sets of users can actually do so. That way you can – for example – allow members to put links in posts but non-registered uses can be denied that ability. Etc.

“Can create links in post” seems to be missing from our Manage Permission sets panel.

(1) Did you upgrade from an old V4 SP? Some users have had one or two permission issues after doing so…

(2) could you attach a screenshot of one of your permission sets so we can see what IS showing up?

I believe that we had issues upgrading from the V4, so we did a clean install. 

Here’s my screenshot. Let me know if I’m just blind or what! TIA :)

so please go to forum – permissions – add new authorization…

and enter these values:

name:  create_links

description:  Can create links in posts

activate:  checked

ignored for guests:  not checked

enabling:  not checked

that should get it added and then you can set it as desired for you various permission sets…

Thanks for the info. I just tried adding the new authorization and received the following error message:

New auth failed – duplicate auth?

So I guess the authorization is “in there” but just not showing up in our Permissions for some reason? confused

Caching strikes again! The auth now appears… testing as user…
