Thank you so much, the issue was driving me nuts
Hi Robin, I may have mentioned but my hosting provider advised me to deactivate and then delete bbpress then reinstall it thinking it would remove all or any database issues obviously expecting me to then have a clean install and everything would work out ok. But it hasn’t so now he is saying that I could hire him as a developer for $100.00 an hour payable if its a developer issue and says if it turns out to be a hosting issue he would not charge at all. This seems to me to be a conflict of interest and I would like to have someone independent have a look and I would be happy to pay someone to advise me on whether it is a hosting issue or a coding issue, if you know of anyone please refer them to me.
Hi Robin, I followed exactly your instructions but nothing changed. I still have the BB style pack but I think the issue is that bbpress is not seeking out the administrator as it no doubt does for a new clean installation either attaching to the administrator or the site owner. This is the second time we have changed the domain name and I suspect there are remnants of the old domains in the files somewhere which would explain why this instance of bbpress is not installing properly to the extent the forum tab and the keymaster are not being created and may explain why your solution is not being recognised by the site. I downloaded and activated the plugin gone to the bug fixes and have tried to add myself back in but after hitting the save button nothing happens and the screen shows that there is no keymaster exactly how it did before I pressed save. I have also tried some other approaches on the software but no change.
I did have but I deleted the only entity that was a keymaster because there was one listed which didn’t make the forum appear, I was under the impression that it was the wrong selection as I had updated the website to a different domain and the old keymaster was the main administrator of the previous domain and I felt that if I deleted that entity the keymaster would automatically reassign to the only administrator for the site, but that obviously didn’t happen.
Thanks Robin, unfortunately didn’t work. Surely there must be a way, there’s certainly a will but from what I have read I need to add some code somewhere! The other alternative I have read about is deactivating other plugins one by one, its very frustrating given it worked beautifully when first set up.
Hi Robin, I have destroyed the keymaster entity but am thinking that on a clean install that BBpress would select the administrator account as the keymaster so I find myself wondering why it does not attach itself to the person who has the administrator function for the website because I have not found the word keymaster anywhere in the drop downs pertaining to roles.
Thanks Robin, the Keymaster is there but its assigned to a different identity is there a way to change the assignments? I cannot find that role listed anywhere to apply it.
