Hi, Is it possible to add “flag” option to posts in categories with “topic voting” option enabled? The posts in these categories don’t have a flag option so users/moderators cannot report inappropriate ones. I searched and couldn’t find any settings to add the flag option in these categories. It shows only these options: ![a286fe1f36622947b5e8b61b1de6ce747975fbb2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/a/2/8/a286fe1f36622947b5e8b61b1de6ce747975fbb2.png) instead of these: ![The image shows a grey phone icon inside a blue border surrounded by icons for a check mark, heart, a speech bubble, pencil, trash can, wrench, and reply.

#topic-voting or #post-voting ? Those are 2 very different plugins. Strangely, the Topic Voting plugin has no limitation by looking at the #Contribute > Feature category. Similarly, Post Voting doesn’t look like it blocks flags \[1\], on my own instance. * * * 1. For topic posts and replies, not comments ---

It’s topic voting. Where can I find the settings to enable/disable flag option for these topics? Currently, the voting topics don’t have the flag option. ---

This is odd. I don’t think the plugin should affect this. If you take a look at the #Contribute > Feature category, you can see that you can flag these topics. Do you have any customizations like Theme Components that could be affecting this? ---

Do those topics have something else in common? Maybe they are all created by staff, and you disabled `allow flagging staff`. ---

@armingrudd Is this still an issue you have? Have you been able to verify Moin’s suggestion?
