Being new to all of this, could someone help with how to do this from @nerdenpose:
*Make sure to move all your theme files into your wordpress theme (wp-includes/themes/your_theme/buddypress/) so you don’t lose your work with an upgrade.
Here’s the list of what I have activated. I have others installed that are not activated, those won’t affect anything, will they? I went through and turned many of them off (one at a time) to see if that would fix it, and have a list of those I didn’t turn off but need to go find it….
BulkPress
Custom Post Type UI
Essentials Tag Alphabet
Intuitive Category Checklist
Jetpack by WordPress.com
jQuery Categories List Widget
List Custom Taxonomy Widget
MP Spam Be Gone
Multi-column Tag Map
Odyno GoogleGroups (added after problem)
Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin
Simple Post Templates
Social Media Feather
UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore (added after problem)
User Submitted Posts
WordPress SEO
WP Email Invisibliser
No, none of those either…
bbpress version is actually 2.4. I accidentally took that # from another plugin.
So… I just took another user I have for testing and made it a Participant in the forums (from the user page). That changed its view of the forums to the problematic one above. I changed it back to “No role on these forums” and it has the normal view again. But of course then it can’t post.
I changed it to Moderator, and this time it could see the normal view of the forums, but then it still can’t post.
I’ve read in another thread that you can delete all of your settings, everything, and then start over. I’d like to try that. But I can’t seem to find where to do that on the Settings page – how do I do that?
Well….turns out my site was attacked by spammers yesterday and turned off by my web host. That’s all worked out now, so everything should be visible again….
And I am running bbp 2.4 – I accidentally took the number from a different plugin.
Ok, so here’s something really weird. I just created a new user, UN testing, PW testing, and the forum looks ok for that user. The only difference between the two that I can find is that on the list of users page, the Forum Role says “Participant” for the gvrunner username, and is blank for the testing username. But if I go in to view their user info, it does say Participant for both of them in the Forum Role dropdown at the bottom.
Just realized I did not add the necessary information on the original post….
WP Version: 3.6
bbPress version: 0.2.2.1
