your theme has a css rule

.content-wrapper.with-featured-image {
	margin: -4.7em 0 0 120px;
	padding: 1.3em 55px 0 1.9em;
}

Basically the ‘margin: -4.7em’ bit is causing the forum to show at a minus height, thus crashing into the header.

the forums page (https://badasscrafters.com/forums/) has the rule without-featured-image so is fine.

Do you have a ‘forums’ page – ie you have a page in your site which has the shortcode

[bbp-forum-index]

I just googled ‘A variable mismatch has been detected’ (googling an error is always a good start)

and got this as a thread

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-variable-mismatch-has-been-detected-6/

which suggests might be worth you looking at php versions

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

@ajtruckle split works fine on my test sites for 2.5.x and 2.6.x, hence why I am suggesting site for database issue for your site.

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

do you mean create a forum, or create a topic on an existing forum?

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

@cassel – maybe ideally – but only so much you can expect for free! you can move it after splitting

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

@ajtruckle – that looks site specific, or maybe even that topic.

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

probably theme specific – try changing a theme as a test. Then contact theme provider

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

so have you guys tried ‘split’ in the front end – this should let you split the reply to a new topic on the same forum. Once that is done you can move it to another forum on the backend

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

that’s safari for you 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

great – glad you are fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

ok, it is site specific.

so you will need to look at disabling plugins and changing themes to establish where the issue is – I can’t help with how you do that in a live environment.

You should look at getting a test site

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

put this in the custom css area of your theme

.bbp-pagination-count {
display : none !important ;
}

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

yes, but depends on exactly what you mean.

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

I’d put all of them in.

yes the asterisk means anything starting with so

http://www.site.com/forums/*

would cover

http://www.site.com/forums/forum/fred

I assume you realise that you should replace http://www.site.com with the name of your site !

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

probably site issue – bbpress just uses WordPress registration

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

There si a hook that you could use eg for replies there is

/** Additional Actions (Before Save) **************************************/

	do_action( 'bbp_new_reply_pre_extras', $topic_id, $forum_id );

	// Bail if errors
	if ( bbp_has_errors() ) {
		return;
	}

in includes/replies/functions.php line 354 or thereabouts depending on version

so you could have a hook to add action that checks if bbp_has_errors and if so mail the user before the function bails.

my style pack plugin has an unread section which I think is what you want

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>unread posts

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

great – glad you are fixed. I suspect a data corruption of some sort

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

so maybe a database corruption, do you have live data in the forums, or just test stuff ?

if just test then go to

dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums and delete all your forum data.

You can then start again

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

hmmm…..

old site, new problem?
new site new problem?
always happened?
only happening after update of bbpress?
etc.

you could try deactivating and then deleteing bbpress and then re-installing

you won’t lose any posts you already have

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

you could exclude forums from caching in sg optimizer

go to

dashboard>sg optimizer>supercacher settings>Excluding URLs

and set up your site’s forums urls

eg (and you will need to change these is you don’t have the default slugs set up)

add these

http://www.site.com/forums/*
http://www.site.com/forum/*
http://www.site.com/topic/*
http://www.site.com/reply/*

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

consistently to certain random users, or occasionally across all users ?

ie do you have a ‘random’ user who is getting this problem all the time that you can test with?

again this could be caching

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

caching software stores website pages. Certain events cause these pages to refresh.

so if x is posting and it’s not happening, and then y on the same site does an action, it may refresh the cache and then the post by x may get updated.

Loads of possibilities, just trying to help understand what might be causing 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years ago]

ok, put this in your child theme’s function file – or use
