almost all settings are default. created new user to check if problem is permission issue but it is not.

we can see/click the bottom **new conversation** link but the new topic button doesn’t exist on top for anyone and any role.

where do we enable this **new topic** button is this a bug?

we are on the latest version 3.3.0.beta1-dev

Welcome to Meta! :discourse2:

I can access the “New Topic” button while in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true). Disabling the themes and theme components causes the button to appear, indicating an issue with them.

 ![The image shows a web forum interface with a notification that safe mode is enabled and options to view various post categories such as "Latest," "Top," "Hot," "New," and "Unread."

yep deleting other themes fixed the problem  
I installed and tested lots of themes and we realised that was the cause

thank you 🙂

Are you saying `new topic button` is conflicting with many themes?

yep that was the case  
clearing themes fixed the problem  
don’t ask me which themes don’t even remember now 🤣

when we first installed the discourse I installed lots of themes to just see and test them

But that would mean the component is broken then, right?
