A user, Dominika, reported an issue with members being unable to create their own posts in a Discourse forum, despite being able to reply to comments. Emilio suggested checking the category security settings to ensure the “create” permission is allowed for the members’ group and verifying that the minimum trust level to create topics is set appropriately. However, after reviewing the settings, Dominika found no issues. Emilio was unable to provide further assistance. Angus then suggested that the issue might be related to user trust levels, pointing Dominika to a blog post explaining Discourse trust levels.
Hello,
I work with a Wordpress site connected with Memberful and a Discourse forum. It seems a member can reply to other members’ comments in the forum but are unable to create their own posts. Would you have any insight on this and what the issue can be/what to look at in order to solve this?
Kindly,
Dominika
Hello @emilio,
many thanks - I had a look at the settings and all seems to be set correctly. Would you be able to share any other insight on why a particular member might have troubles creating posts?
sorry those are the only two things I can think of.
Thank you @emilio, really appreciate your help!
Hey there Dominika, this one seems to be an issue with posting in Discourse, rather than the Wordpress plugin itself.
I suspect your issue is one of user trust levels though, as Emilio previously suggested. Please have a quick read of this explaination
