# Cannot approve posts issue

 * I seem to be encountering some issues after I updated the plugin to Version 3.20.4
   
   I have a frontend form and it was working great before. Right now it still accepts
   new post submissions, but it does not allow me to approve posts. The error says“
   Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.” Confused since I’ve already 
   set the permissions to be accessible to all “Submit Form, Edit Submissions, View
   Submissions, etc).Edit: Tried rolling back to previous versions, I got the Approve
   button working on Version 3.19.7. so I assume the issue has to do with the latest
   updates. Hope someone can address this!

 * I also now updated from version 3.19.7 to version 3.20.7, and I cannot approve
   posts anymore. As soon as I press the approval button, I land on the start page,
   but the post is not approved/does not appear on my start page. Version 3.19.7
   seems to work fine.
 * I also hope for a fix, otherwise we cannot update. Everything above version 3.19.7
   should not get installed at the moment.

 * **Update:** The latest version, 3.20.12, appears to be functioning well again.
 * It would have been nice to receive a response from support here…
