 * If I log in to try and Answer a Question, the Answer textarea is ‘read-only’ 
   so I can’t enter text into the field. Why is this? I’ve granted the login rights
   to post questions and answers.
 * Thanks for any help – this basic function leaves the plugin rather helpless.

 * Hi Mitchell,
    Maybe it has something to do with Permission setting of the plugin
   on your site? We have tested this function carefully and we did not meet such
   issue. If everything looks fine and you still meet the problem, please provide
   me your site URL and we will check it out.

 * I sort of have a similar issue. On the question page the Question Details field
   cannot be edited. But you can select the category, enter your tags and even enter
   your question in the question field. It’s just an issue with the Question Details
   box. How can this be corrected?

 * In my case, with same problem…:
 * This plugin seems incompatible with Form Maker :
    [http://wordpress.org/plugins/form-maker/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/form-maker/)
 * As after disabling Form Maker I can answer the questions
 * You could also try disabling all plugins except this one- if it works, problem
   is incompatibility with an existing plugin…..I hope the developer sees this and
   sorts out at least one with Form Maker since I do need to use that one also !

 * Consequent to above, the Form Maker developer logged into my WP installation 
   and made some changes there. Now both that and DWQA is working and people can
   give answers etc.
 * Hope this is of help to any with similar issue….
