Add new forum menu item gone

[darylwong]

I am using the 4.18 beta pro and if RE is activated, the add new forum menu item is gone.

So for me now, if I wanted to add a new forum, I will simply deactivate the role-editor plugin temporary.

Any other solution?

Thanks for the help in testing 4.18 beta.
Starting from version 4.18 URE supports not posts/pages restrictions only, but any custom post types too. Please check if your role has not turned on checkboxes, like ‘create_posts’, ‘create_pages’, related to the forums and include them to the role.

I am using the default administrator role and create_posts’ and “create_pages’ are not turned on.

Also, I have used TablePress for a while and recently I found the TablePress menu did not appear.

Not too sure if it is related to RE. Maybe you could also take a look.

Thx,

If you turned on ‘Activate “Create Post/Page” capability’ option at ‘Additional Modules’ tab of URE Settings, then you need to turn on ‘create_posts’, ‘create_pages’ for Administrator role.

What plugin do you use for a forum?

As about TablePress, I see its menu with active URE. Check if your administrator role includes these capabilities:

I have disabled the create posts/create pages in additional module.

Now I am seeing the new forum menu.

Where could I find the page in the screenshot in the screenshot you attached related to TablePress.

Have searched for a while but could not find it.

Or I have to see them in the DB?

I made screenshot from “Admin menu access” add-on opened for ‘Administrator’ role at User Role Editor:
https://www.role-editor.com/block-admin-menu-items
But menu should be available in order to see it at “Admin menu” window.

I suppose that you may lost shown TablePress capabilities somehow. Check if they included to your ‘Administrator’ role. If not, try to reactivate TablePress plugin. In case it will not recreate its capabilities during activation, try to add them to ‘Administrator’ role manually.

In the admin menu, I actually did not see TablePress menu item for selection.

So there is a way to add to Administrator role manually?

[Vladimir]

Yes. Turn on or add manually to the administrator role the user capabilities from the 2nd column of this screenshot
