bbPress.org

Just chiming in here for the record. My knowledge of code and plugins is novice at best and I’m afraid I will not be of any help.

I received these 404 errors with a fresh install of bbPress a little over a week ago. My membership plugin, Digital Access Pass, kept tripping it up. The DAP support team did some testing and could not come up with a solution for me. They suggested I use the fix from https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-404-issue-for-bbpress-2-2-x/ until something else could be figured out.

Forum links were not working for non admin’s (when logged in).
In my case it was caused by the ‘Better WP security’ plugin.

WP 3.5.1
Better WP Security 3.4.8
bbPress 2.2.4

Yup, I just switched over from SimplePress to BBPress and I have this issue.
I switched off all plugins except Premise – which I need to give my students entrance to the member site – and nothing gives. They still get the 404.

I have the same problem and I am currently using the following plugins:

Avatar Manager

bbPress

Contact Us Form

Email newsletter

Official StatCounter Plugin

Page Links To

Simple Facebook Connect

WP e-Commerce

Any ideas?

I have a 404 problem with pagination on topics archive pages, for both admins and non-admins. The first page display correctly, but get a 404 errors on subsequent pages:

`
/topics/page/2
/topics/page/3
`

I am using a custom `archive-topic.php` on my theme and using the following plugins on WordPress 3.5.1:

bbPress 2.2.4
BuddyPress 1.7-beta2
User Switching 0.7.1
WordPress Post Type Archive Links 1.1
WordPress SEO 1.4.4

I have disabled all plugins and switched the theme to TwentyTen with flushing rewrite rules on every steps with no success. I have also changed the permalink structure to default `?post_type=topic&paged=2` and still not working.

On my attempt to debug `$wp_query`, at the `pre_get_posts` action hook, everything looks OK:
`
[query] => Array
(
[paged] => 2
[post_type] => topic
)
…
[is_archive] => 1
…
[is_404] =>
`
However at `template_redirect` action, query looks like:
`
[query] => Array
(
[paged] => 2
[post_type] => topic
)
…
[is_archive] =>
…
[is_404] => 1
`

I only tried that with topics pagination, not forums or replies.

Thanks.

Hello? John?

Having the same problem here: http://essentialoilbenefits.org/forums/

Tried the quick-fix in my functions.php, but it screwed up everything else and destroyed redirects.

I have the following plugins:

• All in one Favicon
• Autotags
• bbPress
• bbPress Admin Bar Addition
• bbPress Settings
• bbPress WP Tweaks
• bbPress Search Widget
• Select Find and replace
• Google Plus
• HTML Regex Replace
• Jetpack by WordPress.com
• Select Real-Time Find and Replace
• WordPress SEO
• WPEssence Bulk Categories
• YouTube

@kitty-kilian Can you create a new user after disabling all plugins except bbPress thus trying to recreate what happens in what would be a ‘standard user’ in a ‘standard’ bbPress installation without any plugins modifying WP/bbP user roles.

PS and yes, even with Premise switched off it gets you a 404 instead of asking you to login (which I guess it ought to)

You should not be seeing a 404 in this scenario either.

Before you respond to my thread…I resolved the issue by disabling the “Find and Replace” and
the “HTML Regex Replace” plugin. Hope this helps someone else.

@nikitajaye Can you try disabling all your plugins except bbPress and see if you still see 404’s.

@notebookingpages Sadly, this and that fix are still beyond my skillz 😛

i found out what was the problem for me, this could be a bbpress bug. In wp_options in database i found a column named wp(tableprefix)_user_roles, in the array there was missing two roles bbp_participant and bbp_moderator.

add this. and don’t forget to tell the big array that there’s one more array in the array.

s:15:”bbp_participant”;a:2:{s:4:”name”;s:11:”Participant”;s:12:”capabilities”;a:28:{s:8:”spectate”;b:1;s:11:”participate”;b:1;s:8:”moderate”;b:0;s:8:”throttle”;b:0;s:10:”view_trash”;b:0;s:14:”publish_forums”;b:0;s:11:”edit_forums”;b:0;s:18:”edit_others_forums”;b:0;s:13:”delete_forums”;b:0;s:20:”delete_others_forums”;b:0;s:19:”read_private_forums”;b:1;s:18:”read_hidden_forums”;b:0;s:14:”publish_topics”;b:1;s:11:”edit_topics”;b:1;s:18:”edit_others_topics”;b:0;s:13:”delete_topics”;b:0;s:20:”delete_others_topics”;b:0;s:19:”read_private_topics”;b:0;s:15:”publish_replies”;b:1;s:12:”edit_replies”;b:1;s:19:”edit_others_replies”;b:0;s:14:”delete_replies”;b:0;s:21:”delete_others_replies”;b:0;s:20:”read_private_replies”;b:0;s:17:”manage_topic_tags”;b:0;s:15:”edit_topic_tags”;b:0;s:17:”delete_topic_tags”;b:0;s:17:”assign_topic_tags”;b:1;}}}

Now everything works for me. The only thing I made, I tested some backup plugins for wordpress.
