@ffooccuuss

This error may arise due to a security or permissions issues.

@sofy - There is a lot to digest in that article and I'm sure my answer is in there. I will try those various suggestions and ideas. But for most of those items it seems they should affect the entire website. Why is this issue showing only on the moderation page?

I will research more, many thanks!

@dimalifragis - I remember reading that somewhere but I'm not sure why. I couldn't find a setting to exclude just the WPForo page or plugin so I have deactivated it for now. I will research more. Appreciate the tip.

Not related (?) to the issue but you must remove totally or exclude Hummingbird from wpForo.

I have a test user I created and assigned as moderator role. In that incognito browser dashboard I see the admin bar with the forums menu item showing one message to moderate. When I hover over it and then click the moderation label I see that message. The URL is:

https://sidecar.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpforo-moderations

I also noticed that the admin bar goes completely black at that point. Maybe it is supposed to, IDK.

Here's a screenshot.

@ffooccuuss How to they try to moderate the post? What is the exact link the are trying to access when they get the warning?

Could be that this warning doesn't come from wpforo.....

@ffooccuuss

And what does your Dashboard-wpForo-Accesses-Moderator access say?

Thank you, dima*. I have the usergroups table and it is not empty (from your reference). But that post from Robert (2018) was referring to the admin role and the OP never responded with useful information.

Here is my current usergroups table. Something is preventing my moderators from accessing the moderation function to approve a post in the moderation queue.
