In reply to: Pagination Broken Links 404
I found this topic from 3 years ago, which helped me:
It suggested changing the Forum setting “Forum root should show” to “Topics by Freshness.” I had it set to “Forum Index.” With this setting changed, my pagination works.
Not sure why this setting would break pagination in bbpress topics index shortcode, but at least it works now.
In reply to: Pagination Broken Links 404I installed and activated twentyseventeen theme and the problem persists with my installation of WordPress. I don’t know what “clean theme” means, however.
I understand that it is very difficult (or next to impossible) to troubleshoot unless someone else can duplicate the problem. I am isolating this to bbpress, though, since pagination in WordPress posts work perfectly. And, bbpress was the only plugin active when using a WordPress.org-designed theme. Perhaps my database has been corrupted. Who knows.
I appreciate your efforts to help me troubleshoot.
In reply to: Pagination Broken Links 404Robin, I would like to give you login access so you can take a look at how the forums are working, but I don’t want to provide details here. Ideas?
1. Yes, Forum index page is here: http://cathollowcondos.com/forums/ and it is the one that is generating invalid pagination links.
2. Yes, the Forum index page has [bbp-forum-index] in it. In fact, I have [bbp-topic-index], [bbp-forum-index], and [bbp-topic-form] on the page, in that order. It looks like [bbp-topic-index] is the shortcode responsible for generating invalid pagination links.I have 3 categories/forums listed on the index page, and they have the following number of topics in each: 3, 13, and 1.
**Important** – If I go to the General forum with 13 topics, there are 2 pages of topics; one with 15 topics, and a 2nd page with another 15 topics. So, it looks like the count is not being displayed properly. BUT, the pagination link to page 2 is working on the General forum page, but not on the main index page. Also, I’m not sure what the difference is between topics and posts shown on the Forums index page. Replies are listed separately. I think you really need to see it for yourself, but it’s a private site.
In reply to: Pagination Broken Links 404I know how to access the database on my server, but I do not know what to look at or how to interpret anything in the database. If you can walk me through something, I’m happy to report back.
Just in case I made a mistake previously, I again disabled all plugins except for bbpress, then changed themes to twenty fifteen. Problem remains. I suppose at this point, we need to confirm that others on WP 4.9 and bbpress 2.5.14 can duplicate this problem, with broken pagination links.
In reply to: Pagination Broken Links 404Hi, Robin. I only have 3 pages of topics. If I change “Blog pages show at most” to read 1, then I can view all 3 pages. If I change it to 2, I can only view pages 1 and 2. If I change it to 3 or higher, I can only view the first page. All other pages return a 404 error. Interestingly enough, if I simply remove the “/” in the URL manually in the address bar, the correct page pulls up with additional topics listed. For instance, http://cathollowcondos.com/forums/page3/ works, but http://cathollowcondos.com/forums/page/3/ does not work.
I would like to show more than one blog post at a time on the Blog page (for instance, the default value of 10). But, right now I am limited to showing only 1 so that the Forums pages navigation will work. This is certainly odd behavior that does not appear to be tied to a theme problem or plugin conflict. That is why I am posting here. I do not have the knowledge to troubleshoot further, but will help in any way that I can.
Thank you!
In reply to: Pagination Broken Links 404Thanks for your efforts to help. I just tried this and it does not fix the issue. As I mentioned previously, I have also tried all permalink options. None allow the pagination links to work.
In reply to: Pagination Broken Links 404Update… if I go to Settings > Reading and change the value in “Blog pages show at most” to 2, I can access the 2nd page link (…page/2), but not the 3rd page. If I change the value in “Blog pages show at most” to 1, I can access all 3 pages. I only have 3 pages of topics, so I am not able to test higher page number navigation links.
It’s worth noting that regardless of the setting, I can always access the URL that ends in page2 and page3 (without the inbetween slash “/”). And, it appears that WordPress itself displays the page navigation links just fine. This pagination problem seems to be isolated to the bbpress plugin.
In reply to: Incorrect Message: “You cannot create new topics.”I just disabled all plugins except bbpress, and also changed my theme to Twenty Sixteen. Still same incorrect message, “You cannot create new topics.” User is clearly marked Participant, but I also tried Moderator and am getting same message on main Forums page. This affects multiple users.
In reply to: Cannot change RoleUpdate! I just tried clicking the Bottom “Change” button and it worked. The Top “Change” button does NOT work. Perhaps this is a WordPress bug?
