bbPress redirects users when logged in?

    Hello,

    I am having troubles with the BuddyPress/BBpress login on my forum.
    Whenever a user that is not admin, tries to log in, he is being redirected to the homepage. When he returns to the forum, his login session expires.

    Please check it here to understand what I mean
    http://cardzreview.com/forums

    You can use this login :
    Name : test
    Password : test

    I got few complaints from the users, and I think its annoying as well to be honest.
    So its affecting all users except for the admin.

    Any idea how to fix this?

    not quite sure what is going on in your site, but you are logged in, and the login session has not expired !

    So go to forums and login, then go back to fourums. Yes the right hand side says ‘login’ but you are still logged in, and can post topics etc. IF you then click any forum, you’ll see the correct logged in on the right hand side.

    So how are your sidebars set up?

    That´s correct. I am using a specific sidebar only for forum.
    Do you think that might be the issue?

    I am not sure its that to be honest. Any idea what else it might be?

    so how are you displaying that sidebar – ie what makes it conditional?

    So this is the plugin I use https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-simple-sidebars/

    But these sidebars are not being used for bbPress forum.

    For bbPress I use this setup by Genesis Theme.

    And not sure about conditionals (sorry) but here is the setup.

    Not sure what is causing these “login expires” thing. Would really love to solve it, as its a bit annoying to non admins (Note for admins login does not expire).

    Okay, so I figured out, but still do not understand why this works like this.

    bbpress login widget does not redirect non admins and works normally.
    BuddyPress login widget does not work and redirects to the home page, and then login session expires.

    ok, thanks for that, so if I understand correctly, you were using the buddypress login widget in the sidebar and that wasn’t working and are now using the bbpress login widget in the sidebar, and it now works.

    Is that correct and you are now fixed ?

    Robin that´s absolutely correct.

    I was using BuddyPress login widget into my “Forum only” sidebar.
    I removed that widget and added bbPress login ,and it works.

    My theme : Genesis Sample
    Plugins used : BuddyPress, bbPress, BuddyPress Extender, BBpress Extender.

    Hope this will help someone.

    Everything works now for me. Thanks for the help.
