bbpress – admin posts not readable by L 1-3

I’ve just discovered that when I am logged in as Admin and make a post to my bbPress forum, a user must have Level 4 access to be able to read my post.

I’ve tested with this logins set at Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4, and it seems that each level can only read posts by others with levels up to their own… so Level 2 can read Level 1 and Level 2, Level 3 can read Level 3 and all below, and Level 4 can read all below it including Admin posts.

If I am logged in as Admin, is it possible for me to make a forum post so that it is readable to all levels?

This evening I performed a clean install, building the site only with plugins essential to bbpress. I logged in as admin, level 0, level 1, 2, 3, and 4. All of the public posts were viewable by all levels, and that’s exactly what I needed.

This is solved, and not related to s2member at all.

Hello Buck,

Thanks for the update! Glad you were able to solve your problem. :)
