Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with wpForo profile editing permissions.

Problem:
Regular members cannot see the "Edit Profile" button on their own profile page in the frontend.

Details:

  • wpForo version: 6.9.1

  • WordPress latest version

  • Default usergroup: "Membres du site MΓ©thode France Guillain"

  • This usergroup has Standard access

  • The issue occurs even when this group is set as Primary Usergroup

  • Admin users can see the Edit Profile button

  • Regular members cannot see it at all (the button is completely missing, not greyed out)

I have checked:

  • Usergroups access type (Standard access confirmed)

  • Member Profile settings

  • Display settings

  • No custom restrictions were intentionally set

  • The issue persists even when the user is only in the default Standard group

Question:

What setting controls the visibility of the "Edit Profile" button in the frontend profile page?
Is there a specific permission required for profile editing that I may have disabled unintentionally?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
AΓ―mata
