Usergroups not seeing forum

[MishyMashy]

I made a paid subscription usergroup and since then this has happened..

The paid usergroup can now see the hidden part of the forum that only staff members should see, even though all permissions are ticked properly. why can they view this section? and how do I fix it?

Now a moderator group cant see the forum that they should see even though the permissions are marked for them to see it. Why cant they see their section? and how do I fix it?

My brain is fried.

Thanks in advance.

Well, the obvious answer would be that the permissions are set incorrectly. So....

What primary usergroup are these paid subscribers in and what additional usergroups are they in?

What primary usergroup are your Staff in and what additional usergroups are they in?

For the Staff forums (that only Staff should see), what usergroups can see it?

If you have issues setting separate permissions within the subscriptions page, then you can try doing it a bit different way. I'm assuming that is what you did. Your best bet is to set up your subscription, create a special usergroup for that subscription, and then modify ANY AND ALL permissions for forums here only: Forums & Moderators > Forum Permissions > Quick Forum Permission Setup. This way your other usergroups can see what they should and the new usergroup sees what you want as well. I personally NEVER change any permissions in the subscription page unless there is absolutely no other way to get what I want.

Paid sub members = Primary=registered user, additonal = upgraded member

Super Moderators= I have never altered so that is still the default.

It all went haywire after doing the paid sub permissions.


HM666 I tried your way just now and nothing has changed.

Then something is conflicting somewhere. Have you disabled all the plugins and then tried again? Possibly something installed on the forum has created a conflict.

You will need a HTML editor like Dreamweaver or use NotePad. DO NOT use MS Word or Word Pad.

Global disable: open your includes>config.php file and find:

<?php

and under place:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Save and upload again to your server in the includes directory.

If you find that it works after disabling the plugins globally then re-enable the plugins by putting // in front of the code so it looks like this:

//define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Save and upload again.

Then you will have to go through your mods one by one until you find the one that is causing the conflict.
