Turns out it IS a server side issue, I used duplicator to download an exact copy of the site, then deployed it on my local host MAMP server. Loaded up the site and boom, can post replies as normal…
Now arises the problem; where the hell do I start in looking for what is causing this on my server. It’s VPS server hosted at GoDaddy. I wouldn’t even know how to explain this to them. Does anyone have an ideas on what server processes are linked to posting replies from the front end that some setting, somewhere on my server is blocking?
This confirms that this is as expected, a bug fixed by flicking a single switch, out of a million switches. What a headache.
@robkk Unforuntaly I haven’t heard back from @johnjamesjacoby yet, I can imagine he’s a busy guy, and this doesn’t appear to be the simplest of bugs to fix. It obviously appears to be a front end issue, yet is still happening without any themes or plugins (other than bbPress) enabled.
I’ve been actively updating all my plugins as new versions come out. I think I’m going to make a copy of my site on my localhost and see if the problem persists there, ruling out the possibility of a server issue, will keep this thread updated. That is however, the last thing I can try to the extent of my bbPress knowledge.
Thanks for your reply!
bump @johnjamesjacoby @robkk still no solution, my forums have been out of action for over a month, would be good to get this fixed 🙁
@johnjamesjacoby sorry John, have you had a chance to take a little look yet?
@johnjamesjacoby Hey John! Thanks for your reply! Happy for that, emailed you from jjj.me 🙂
Unfortunately not, only just moved to a VPS server from wordpress managed, and I’d completely forgot to run backups manually. I installed a DB backup plugin yesterday now taking backups every few hours.
Emailed you! Thanks 🙂
