Funny that. We got the same double-separation and missing menu on our end, but its the latest of our mysterious problems preventing rendering the forums on our website at all. (They used to work fine, but they first stopped showing on the site, then the menu too.) Disabling other plugins doesn’t fix this, apparently.
Hey thanks for your response.
Yes I have being trying disabling other plugins and still doesn’t work.
I don’t know if reinstall it should work. Let’s wait for someone that had this issue to help us.
Have a great week.
the same here – Forum menu is disappeared …
Well, I managed to get the Dashboard item back up via the first 5 bullet points of
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/missing-forums-directory/ .
But we’re still unable to render the actual forums anymore, e.g. from the forums’ “View” links, or /forums/forum. Just blank white pages, maybe the occasional 404. For that, we tried just moving to Mingle forum, but it doesn’t have subcategories (or even let you move forums between categories), so that’s a no-go. So, we’re still interested in fixing bbPress’s other issues…
In the “Dashboard” i can see the “Forum dashboard”
But when i go to “/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum” i got “Cheatin’ uh?” …
Hello everybody.
Have you had the chance to fix this issue? I still haven’t.
Any suggestion will be awesome.
Keep having a good one.
Thanks for that Lynq.
THis is the solution:
“Tools” -> “Forums” -> “Remap existing users to default forum roles”
If a momentary outage of the forum is acceptable, disabling and then enabling bbPress also seems to fix the problem. I have also created a shortcut to each of the submenu items under Forums/Topic/Replies block. Next time I have this outage, I will try the direct shortcuts and see if that may be a workaround.
I am curious, does the solution “Remap existing users to default forum roles” change any of the users’ roles to “default” from whatever they might be set at?
That shortcut access to the missing Forums components did not work. I had do disable and enable bbPress to bring back the forums dashboard block. I hope there is a permanant fix for this soon. I am using Genesis-Platinum child theme.
Did you try repairing the roles via “Tools” -> “Forums” -> “Remap existing users to default forum roles”?
That usually works and is a fix that sticks.
Will it remap the existing roles “properly” and not revert everyone to whatever he default roles is? If latter, then I have to go and change some manually. If I knew how this would work I would have tried it sooner.
I put a check mark in the box “Automatically give registered visitors the forum role” under Forum User Settings last night. As soon as I clicked Save the Forums/Topics/Replies came back. This morning they are still visible, I am not sure if that was a fix or not.
In case someone else comes this way with a similar issue, as I did, I want to add to this thread… I used the “Tools” -> “Forums” -> “Remap existing users to default forum roles” for a different issue as recommended by a moderator elsewhere in this forum…
What that did was take away the Keymaster role from the primary Admin user, I.E., me… The Administrator role that is set up on the original install in other words… This also removed all trace of bbPress from the Dashboard… I did all the usual, caches, de/reactivate, check some possible plugin conflicts, different browsers, etc… I even changed the version number of bbBress in my contents>Plugins folder so I force a reinstall… Nothing fixed it…
What I was finally able to do, because I luckily had a different Admin set up for someone else, was log out and in via that admin user, and add the keymaster role back to my main admin account…
I would not recommend the use of that option, and I find myself more that a little wary of all the form tool options now…
Kind regards…
