Plugins only show up on admin account, members can't see any plugin features on the front end

I’m still learning Simple:Press, so this may be a rookie question. I installed a few plugins that I’d like to use for my forum (Share This, Report, Subscribe, etc,) but I can only see the plugins on the front end when I’m logged in as an admin (I’ve set up a member account for myself so I can troubleshoot before marketing the forum, and can’t see anything from there.) Do I have to apply plugins to member usergroups or something? Can’t seem to find the right option to fix this.

 

Also, Share This doesn’t show up on the front end at all, even on the admin, anyone else have problems with this?

 

Thanks!

Well with both Rport Post and Subscribe you do need to turn on the permissions for the appropriate user groups ou wish to have these tools available. So if you go to the forum admin > Permissions uou will be able to turn these on in there.
I am afraid I still have not looked at the Share This plugin myself so am not best equipped to answer. I will find out what I can and someone will come along later with some help.

Oh hang on – are you say it is not showing up in the plugin list at all is that it? Soi you can’t activate it?

Thanks again Yellowfish, that worked.  In regards to Share This, the Share This codex answered my other questions!
