    Hi.
    I am using Joomla 1.7.3 with K2 2.5.4 which are the latest versions. I have set access both J! and K2 access levels as appropriate. All articles can be viewed properly, but I find that neither registered user nor author nor even super user can submit an article from the frontend. I created a menu item for frontend article submission using K2 Item edit form menu type
    What could be the problem? I am not even sure if it is a J! or K2 problem?

    Glad if you could help

    Sorry, I don’t work with K2 so I won’t be able to help at this stage.

    Anyone else that can help with the Joomla 403 error, please?

    I have the exact same issue :(

    I have a menu item called “add a blog” that is set to be viewable only by “special” usertypes… When I click it as a special usertype it launches the add a blog view…. and everything works EXCEPT the add image button in the editor :-/

    I am forced to link images from the web!

    also, make sure the category itself is public. it didn’t work until I made this change.

    since this problem happens whether using JUpdate or a manual method, then this would be a K2 issue. After all, the Joomla source is published and up to date, and it’s K2′s responsibility to maintain compliance.
