It reads like you’ve tried basically everything. If I were to help troubleshoot more, I’d need some level of access into your installation (like Rob has asked for.)
It’s unusual, for sure. But caching forums is hard, and it’s plausible you’ve uncovered some quick in bbPress that needs addressing, and I’m happy to help with that.
Let’s find a way to chat privately, and then report back here what we are able to figure out?
In reply to: Spectator Role Not Working – allowing postsAlmost all role editing plugins cause accidental breakage. There’s only one, in my experience, that’s worth using, and it’s called Members by Justin Tadlock.
You may need to install my bbp-capabilities plugin to get the broken user accounts back to normal:
There are a few functions to help with this:
bbp_new_forumbbp_new_topicbbp_new_reply
In reply to: Template in Extras Directory for Search ResultsCheck in
bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-search.phpbbPress employs some “theme compatibility” magic to insert itself into your existing WordPress theme, and that directory is where those template parts live to try and fill in the gaps
In reply to: Moderator unable to edit postsYou may also want to try the latest development version to see if any bugs have already been fixed that might impact this.
In reply to: Having problems posting on this forum!Are you including a bunch of links in your reply? There’s a 3 link limit.
In reply to: Separate Database of WPbbPress 2.x uses WordPress’s posts and taxonomy structure to store everything, so the best(only) way to have it exist on a separate database (and/or server) is with WordPress multisite and HyperDB, and having bbPress activated on the site you’ve pointed to it’s own location.
In reply to: Participant forum role can no longer postI added a few user capabilities plugins to edit roles but none have done the trick.
This likely did more harm than good.
Try installing the following plugin (by me) which provides a nice user-interface for identifying where your bbPress roles and capabilities have gone wrong:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-capabilities/
This plugin was originally a hidden tool tucked into bbPress, but was extracted into a plugin once we went with dynamic role registration.
The thing with bbPress roles, is that they work amazingly well for the large majority of installations. For the very small minority that want to deeply integrate it with other plugins or services, it works a bit differently than WordPress’s native roles and capabilities (for the better, to be frank) which requires a bit of special handling.
In reply to: How to start?Hi there. Are you able to shed some light on what documentation you found helpful, and what you ended up setting up?
In reply to: Modifying Username Colors Based on RoleHey there. You’ll need to write a small plugin to do this, as currently there is no classification of what roles a user has available to target.
I’ve created this Trac ticket and slated it for the 2.7 release. It won’t be too difficult for us to make this easier for you in a future release.
In reply to: My language files are overwritten by updateSince WordPress 4.0, this happens with any plugins that have complete and updated translations. If you modify them, WordPress won’t know about it.
In reply to: Cc instead of Bcc in notification emailsTo be clear, emails are *not* being sent via the “cc” header; they are definitely being sent via the correct “Bcc” header.
I’m looking into this now, and have not duplicated the issue. So far 2 others have chimed in with a similar experience as yours, so something is up somewhere (maybe server configuration, PHPMailer config, etc…)
We’ll check it out and see what we can do.
In reply to: bcc field in notifications is visible to usersLooks like someone else is seeing this also.
It might be a server configuration issue, but I’m looking into it now.
In reply to: After upgrade to wordpress 4.0.1 topics disappearedSorry y’all are having troubles. I’ll check this out and report back.
In reply to: bbpress 2.3.2 not working with WP 4.0.1is the bbpress support is dead ? :/
Holiday weekend here in the U.S.
You’re using two versions of software that aren’t labeled as being compatible, so your mileage will likely vary. If you can be more specific and take a bit of initiative to investigate what’s broken, it’s possible someone can help you work this out. That said, your best bet is to use current and compatible versions.
I’m not able to duplicate this on a vanilla bbPress installation. I’m guessing y’all have a similar plugin running that’s filtering the single topic query.
Compare notes and report back; if there’s a regression in WordPress core, it’s critical that we get it fixed together.
In reply to: bbpress SQL InjectionEchoing what Stephen said above, these issues are not actual issues (with bbPress 1.x or 2.x) and in are in no way responsible for anything that could have happened to your site.
When something is not installed incorrectly, of course it isn’t going to work correctly. These issues are akin to installing your TV with the screen facing the wall, and complaining that you can’t see it from the couch. 🙂
If it so happens any security issues are found in any version of bbPress, please do not publicly report them in these forums. Instead, responsibly disclose us:
https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Security
We try to be really good about fixing any security issues ASAP.
In reply to: reply email notifications are not being sentLikely broke with 2.5.4 and our change to BCC headers:
In reply to: Anonymous Users Can't See Their RepliesThat is a very odd problem to have.
- What other plugins do you have running?
- What theme are you using?
In reply to: bbPress 2.5.4When a plugin is updated via WordPress’s Admin Interface
- It is deactivated
- New files are pulled down
- It is reactivated
Problem is, the bbPress Notify Spam plugin isn’t coded in such a way to fail gracefully when bbPress is not active. Thus when WordPress tries to reactivate bbPress, a fatal error occurs. Not because of bbPress, but because bbPress is temporarily not there, and bbPress Notify Spam tries to call bbPress functions.
The fix is for that plugin author to use bbPress’s sub-actions and filters to include its files and execute code, and not call bbPress core functions without confirming bbPress is active previously in its call stack.
Sorry y’all for the inconvenience, but there’s little we can do in bbPress core to prevent this type of thing.
In reply to: Moderators DisappearingAdd some debug logging to
bbp_set_current_user_default_role()to narrow down the cause,(likely with dumping out the call stack.)You should be able to cowboy code something if you’re able to reproduce the issue with a test user account. If you’re able to come up with explicit instructions on how to duplicate this on an installation that only has bbPress running, I’d love to fix anything that isn’t behaving correctly.
In reply to: Moderators DisappearingI see two possible ways this *might* fail:
* Multisite & calls to
switch_to_blog
*bbp_get_user_role()is returning multiple bbPress roles (either because some third party role editor plugin was used to manipulate things, or there’s some crusty old role data somewhere in there.)In reply to: Moderators Disappearing@josiahw That’s pretty odd. If you want to debug, check inside the
bbp_set_current_user_default_rolefunction, hooked tobbp_setup_current_user. There are several redundant checks to ensure what you’re seeing doesn’t happen, so I’m curious where it might be failing and how.In reply to: Give bbPress full editor by default?Pasting HTML and metadata is a WordPress/TinyMCE issue, and not really a bbPress bug to solve. There are WordPress plugins to disable HTML pasting, and we do support them, and we could go as far as including this in core as a helper for people that do turn TinyMCE on.
In reply to: Pagination on "latest topics"Works for me? Details are helpful here.
