Hope you can assist.

Background:

I have a multisite config. Users need to be able to update their profile from the frontend, via their profile page, which is something like, http://example.com/forum/user/fred@example.com thanks to bbpress.

However only Super-Admins can edit their profile. There is a little edit link next to their name but if they are not super-admins then it does not work. How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance

What happens if you visit the user edit URL manually? Can you edit your profile? It sounds like there is a wrong capability check applied to displaying the edit link. If made a bbPress theme recently and everything seems to be alright on bbPress' side. – pogoking Nov 17 '12 at 20:28

Is there something like current_user_can()... or is_super_admin near the edit link? cus it sounds like it has to be some with Roles abd capabilities

I have had a look and it seems to be something in the bbpress side of things, playing with the roles and capabilities did not help, it's limited to the super admin – uknowit2 Jun 8 '12 at 9:10
