Hello,

I think I'm having a serious issue with permissions (my Wpforoinstallation).

I followed the steps advised on: https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/how-do-i-lock-a-category/#post-54319

I have few user groups to whom I want to give Reply only permissions in the forum, but It's not working even if I followed the steps in the upper post!!??

 

NB: You can see attached the pic attached of the forum access permission I created and named: Reply only.

Then in Forum> Forum > Categories and Forum 

I selected the "Reply Only" autorisation to this specific user group.

But When I tested it: 2 users from this group can't have access to the topics!!

What is wrong here??

What am I missing??

Hi @tarik,

Set the same forum access in Forum Permissions field for that usergroup in the Category and in the Forum. How I see in the attached screenshot, you have set the forum access in the Category, also set the same forum access for the same usergroup in the Forum.

Thank you Chris.

This information was nowhere in the documentation and even in the former posts (such as the URL I included above).

Thank you again!
