I am trying to:
I updated Toolset plugins to the most reason versions. Upon doing so, users, even if allowed in permissions, are no longer able to post in Bbpress forums. Only the admin user type is able to post in Bbpress forums. When a user goes to a forum, they get the message "You cannot create new topics" or within a topic, the message "You cannot create new topics." This did not happen in the previous versions of Toolset I was using.
I have rolled back my live site to the earlier versions while this is fixed, but I am keeping it on my dev site so that you can inspect the issue.
The versions I had before and the versions that they are now:
Toolset Access Version 2.6.1-->2.8.1.3
Toolset Forms 2.2.1.2 -->2.5.2
Toolset Layouts Version 2.5.2-->2.6.2
Toolset Types Version 3.2.4-->3.3.6
Toolset Views 2.7.2-->2.9.3
Toolset WooCommerce Views 2.7.7-->2.7.11
Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link
I expected to see:
The ability for a user authorized to post in the forum. If the user is the site role "Wayne State Student", they should be able to post on this page.
Instead, I got:
It says "You cannot create new topics" even for authorized users.
Thank you for your help. I tried to do use Access, but strangely, it seems I am unable to now. The plugin is deactivated and even when I try to activate it, it seems to stay deactivated. Can you log in and take a look?
Also, it seems as of yesterday there are updates for Toolset Forms, Types, and Views. Is it best to hold off on updating until we sort everything out?
Ok, so after testing I think I am able to identify the conflicting plugin: WooCommerce version 3.2.5
Trying to activate Toolset Access while it is on causes the error "Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error". However, activating Toolset Access first and then WooCommerce for some reason seems to get around this issue. Now that I have Access working I will try the fix you mentioned and then will try to update WooCommerce to see if that fixes this issue.
Hi, Christian,
Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, I am still having issues.
After the update, it seems like users can now post in forums if they are authorized to, but still cannot post not topics or replies. Would it be possible for you to take a look? Maybe things are not configured correctly on my end?
New threads created by Christian Cox and linked to this one are listed below:

I also wanted to mention that it seems like the keep_gate permission doesn't seem to bypass this issue. It will allow users to see the text field to reply to a topic or reply, but when they try to post they get an error "ERROR: You do not have permission to reply."
So I am not sure if there is a workaround.
Sorry, I have one more update.
So it seems like I might have gotten it to work to an extent using "other permissions". I checked off "publish_replies", and "publish_topics" and it seems like I can post topics now.
However, this shouldn't be necessary if I have the correct permissions checked for Access Post Type permissions right? Attached is a picture of the permissions I have checked off.
The problem is with these settings is that it seems like some replies do not post. In the screenshot below, you can see the reply after #33121 is #33124 because the #33122 and #33123 did not seem to post.
