No ask question button when not logged in?

Question is basically the title.

As it stands there is no "ask question" button anywhere on the page when the user is not logged in – how would I go about rectifying this?

Thanks,
Nathen

At the moment, if you want to display the Ask Question button on the list question page, you can change the permission in the Dashboard > Q&A > Settings and allow all role can post a question.
Or, you can open the archive-question.php file and find around line 34.
Replace the following code:

<?php if ( dwqa_current_user_can( 'post_question' ) ) : ?>

with new code:

<?php if ( dwqa_current_user_can( 'read_question' ) ) : ?>

Hope this helps!

Thanks – Which file would I need to modify to change the message that appears following this? I.e "Ask a Question
You do not have permission to submit a question" I want to prompt the user to create/login

To change this message, you open the template.php file in the line 1052 or use the .po/.mo file to change it.
Hope this helps!
