Joomla! 3.4.8
K2 v2.7.0

I have:
K2 user group "Publisher"
K2 user belonging to "Publisher"
K2 category with one K2 item created by user

The user group "Publisher" has all editing privileges enabled for all categories.

Front end editing is enable in global parameters.

If I log into the front end as super user, I can see edit buttons for modules, but not for items.

If I log into the front end as Publisher user, there are no edit buttons at all.

I have tried setting everything in the category to "Show" just in case. Everything shows but the edit buttons.

Template is Protostar, with a few minor modifications to the css file. I have tried Beez3 but it changes nothing.

I have read every forum post and tutorial I can find on the topic but to no avail.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Have you edited the K2 template in any way?
Is Front-end item editing enabled for each K2 User Group separately?

The user groups have front end editing enabled.

I am not sure what the K2 template is, or how to edit it. The Joomla template Protostar has had minor changes to the css file, but that's it. Is this what you are referring to?

Thanks for your help.

Krikor means the k2 template files check the following link
getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

OK, I definitely did not edit the K2 template in any way.

Can you share some demo credentials and a link to your site?
Also I will need a screenshot of the user group's settings.

Hi Krikor,

Sorry for the delay. I got all tied up doing other things.

What user privileges do you need to have to log in and look around... ie super user, publisher etc.

Cheers,
Peter

NO! Do not publish Super User credentials here :)
A demo user (register) who can add items but can't publish them.
