'Add Assets' button still causing problems

I'm still having an issue with this (https://forum.grabaperch.com/forum/07-15-2014-add-asset-button-missing?page=1#reply-2031). Well, not me: my clients are. The fix in 2.5.4 worked for me but it's still breaking on the client's end. I got them to clear cookies in case it was something to do with their cache, but no luck. I then asked them to log in outside of the network they were on with a different machine but still no button.

It's working fine for me. I've even tried it on 3G on my phone and (although the interface is a bit broken at mobile) the '+ Add Asset' button appears ok. Bit of a weird one…

Checked there are no permissions I need to enable for them to see the button, but can't find anything obvious.

They're getting really frustrated and I'm getting a bit embarrassed. Am I able to downgrade to 2.4.9 without any consequences? If so, where will I find a copy of 2.4.9? I guess I could just copy the core folder from the upgrade to 2.4.9 commit from my own site's git repo.

Also, I hope this is the right place to post this– I've been trying to get in touch since Friday lunchtime :( (admittedly, my second attempt on Monday was on an incorrect forum thread, as Rachel pointed out)

Hi Martin I have something similar and allowed the client admin rights it seemed to solve it. Not the best I know but if it needs a fix I am sure it will be on its way.

Hi Ian– sounds like a plan! I'll make a dummy 'editor' and try adding permissions one at a time until hopefully something works. I fear allowing full admin rights would leave me in a world of hurt :)

I fixed it! Thanks for the pointer, Ian– I can't believe i hadn't spotted it: there's a new Assets section in the Privileges. I've checked the 'Upload assets' option for Editors and it works!
