No kind of path is working in Setup

Thanks for the detailed report though ??

I might be willing to help with the documentation.

Here’s the thing about permissions though: all groups, forums, and roles in the forum administration panel have their own WP-United permissions– which need to be set individually. This isn’t ideal. I think that it should be that all forums, as well as the administrator and editor groups, automatically have WP-United cross-posting permissions. That way all one has to do to enable or disable cross-posting is to change the forum that posts are cross-posted to (or select “disabled”) in the WP backend. That drop-down option already exists.

There should also be a quick button to give or remove all non-guest, non-read-only, and non-bot groups and roles permissions to cross-comment, instead of always having to set all permissions individually. I’m trying to think of other ways to make this easier…

I just updated the previous post, so if you’ve already read it, you might want to look at it again.

Thanks…

That’s not how phpBB permissions work though.

A user could have permissions assigned by their role or any of the groups of which they are a member (or, you can assign permissions to individual members). If ANY of these groups or role have a “Yes” permission, then that user will receive that permission.

If ANY of those groups or roles has a “Never” permission, then that will override the “Yes” to become a “No”.

So you need to set it for the member OR the group OR the role, not all.

This is the same as opening any forum to a group, or locking one down.

WP-United just uses the native phpBB permissions system, and doesn’t impose any additional requirements on top of that.

phpBB MODs usually aren’t allowed to turn on permissions by default — people are encouraged to review and amend the permissions themselves. I will certainly do what I can to make it clearer though.

It wasn’t that easy for me. But I don’t remember everything about what I was doing first, so I don’t know what to tell you.

I’m going to mark this as resolved, but feel free to open a new thread if you have any other issues.
