As @casiepa told you, I am the one who is having dreadful problems as detailed on this
link.
My host says they have no caching enabled. I wonder which pages did you edit via FTP? When you say “edit”, did you actually edit them or just resaved them?
I would like to add that I have just now set up bbpress quickly on another live site hosted by another host to see how it would behave and there were no problems.
So it looks that the fault is on the server side? If so, how can I persuade the webhost to deal with it in more detail? All they said was that it looks that there is no caching on the server we use.
Yes, I am testing this as myself, and two different users (one as editor, moderator and the other one just as participant). The same thing. I’ve tested this on both laptop and netbook at home in FireFox, Chrome, IE and Safari – all the same.
I have to point out that I get this on the live site but not on the site I have on my local computer – it is the same setup which I tested before I set it up on the live site as well.
Just to let you know that I was testing it all day. I removed Robkk’s redirect code to see if there would be the same problem with Peter’s Redirect plugin and it is the same. So I am at my wits’ end.
I’ve just heard from the webhost – there is no caching on the server.
They asked if I have any caching plugins in WordPress which I don’t have.
So I am really stuck.
I don’t think this is the local caching problem because I tested it on both my laptop and netbook at home. I don’t have this problem when I test it on my site which I set up locally on my computer in xampp. This happens only on the live site.
I don’t think this is related to your redirect code. So this is a huge unexpected setback – what a shame! It doesn’t seem there is an easy solution and that I have to battle it out with the webhost provider who may not be knowledgeable about this at all.
No, I don’t use WordFence security. I never used any plugins that had anything to do with caching. Do you think I should use some plugin for the caching problem related to logins in bbpress? If so, which one? Would this be better than relying on the webhost? They may say that this is my problem.
I had a look at CloudFlare – it seems that they have a service for Purge Cache by tag – is this what you mean? But this is part of a plan is most expensive – it would cost more than $200 per month?
I think you may be right. I never had any caching plugins. So I would have to ask the service provider. By asking them about disabling caching, do you mean it can be done just for certain pages for logged in users only? I haven’t come across Cloudflare before. Is it used much?
Many thanks, yes, it worked. Hope to hear from you regarding the other topic.
Hello @robkk,
I am afraid I discovered another problem which I discuss here.
Would you be able to advise me on this? I very much hope so.
Actually,I may be getting somewhere. When I log in as admin, it gets me to the backend, then I type the address mysite.com/forums – then I see that I am not logged in. However, when I type in: mysite.com/forums/community – then I am logged in on that page.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the redirect I have in functions:
function rkk_login_redirect($redirect_to, $request, $user) {
return (is_array($user->roles) && in_array('administrator', $user->roles)) ? admin_url() : site_url('/forums/');
}
add_filter('login_redirect', 'rkk_login_redirect', 10, 3);
You can see that discussion I had with @robkk here
I’ll do more testing tomorrow.
No, I am not in an enterprise environment. I am at home and I am testing the bbpress on the live site. I log in as admin or another user as moderator or another user as participant. It is the same. As it is now close to midnight, I’ll continue testing tomorrow and report back. I wonder if WordPress needs flushing its cache or something – never did it before. Just a thought.
I am not sure if this has anything to do with the webhost provider.
How would I get around this problem?
I have one PC and one netbook – both behave the same.
No, I don’t have any cache plugins. By provider’s platform – do you mean webhost provider or ISP?
This is a real problem.
I think I found what the problem is. I could not reply to topics even when I logged in as administrator. I cleared the cache (in FireFox and Chrome) and then the message “You must be logged in to reply to this topic” disappeared and everything went back to normal.
This is rather confusing – what can be done so that it doesn’t happen again?
Has anyone come across this issue?
Thanks.
@robkk, thank you – exactly what I needed to know. As always your reply is very helpful and informative.
@robkk, thank you – very helpful and informative as always.
Thank you. I found Advanced noCaptcha reCaptcha here.
I could try this.
I am not sure if I could use WangGuard – I am really looking for a good antispam plugin which will work with bbpress. Akismet is usually recommended – but it is for personal use. I am not sure if it is free for non-profits? I read high praise for Antispam Bee but it’s unfortunately not working with bbpress it seems. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you – yes, it helps, I’ll try it again.
You are a godsend. Without you I would not have been able to put
bbpress together the way I wanted to.
Many thanks.
Thank you so much – as always. It worked. I just don’t understand why
I had no problems with the user page on the local computer – the settings were the same.
I hope I won’t run into any more problems – it’s been frustrating.
Thank you very much. I did set up the bbpres.php template on the basis of page.php – the same way as I did in my test site. However, this does not work for the user profile at all on the live site for some strange reason. Just now I found a workaround by using CSS – not sure if this is the correct way. But I would really like to know what the bbpress.php works for all pages except the user page. The CSS I used is:
body.bbp-user-page.single.singular.bbpress div#content.grid.col-620 {
width: 100%;
}
body.bbp-user-page.single.singular.bbpress div#widgets.grid.col-300.fit {
display: none;
}
Please let me have your thoughts.
