Ok well I ran my issue down a little further. The topics added are not showing up in the frontend topic list because the _bbp_topic_last_active meta key is not being set. I manually set it for one of the topics and it worked.
Why that postmeta key is not being created, not sure yet. I see a bunch of other ones for that post id (_bbp_topic_reply_count, _bbp_topic_hidden_reply_count, etc) so doesn’t seem like its across the board for the meta keys.
I migrated my WordPress install from my local PC to my development server and am having some issues with the BBPress plugin now. Everything that was there shows up fine… however now I cannot add new topics.
Adding a new forum works.
However now when I try to add a new topic to the forum from the frontpage it redirects me to the homepage when I hit submit and I never see it in the database.
If I do it from the dashboard, it adds the topic in the admin and I can see it there but it doesn’t show up on the topic list under the forum on the frontpage. I can view it directly if I click the view link on it from the dashboard.
If I look in the db the one that is working has the GUID set with a permalink structure (/forums/topic/topicname) where the one I added after the move doesn’t (?post_type=bbp_forum&p=1161). I have permalinks enabled on the site (and they are working everywhere else)… I’ve tried turning them off and back on as well.
Hopefully didn’t ramble on too much there, going to try to dig into it some more but not sure if you guys had any ideas.
Just opened a trac ticket(#1458). It looks to me like the plugin breaks xmlrpc.
@Gautam : Thanks for the quick response. That did work. I would think /%category%/%postname%/ is a pretty popular structure though.
I am having issues with permalinks as well in 2743. The forums work if I use the default permalinks (?bbp_forum=x), but if I turn on custom permalinks (/%category%/%postname/) then the forums themselves 404 (forums/forum/x). The page I setup with the list of forums works correctly with permalinks enabled, but none of the links to the forums do.
I have tried turning them on and off multiple times.
Appreciate any other ideas anyone might have.
