I understand your problem, but I am just a guy who helps out here.
There are thousands of themes, and thousands of plugins, and of course hundreds of settings all of which can work well together or not. Your site is a unique combination of these and I can only suggest the obvious issues.
so does you method 2 template have a sidebar?
ok, so which method atre you using in
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ item 3
if method 1, then try using method 2
Try this initially
In Dashboard> Divi> Theme options > Builder > Advanced > Static CSS File Generation > Clear’
In Dashboard> Divi> > Theme Options > Performance> Dynamic CSS option> set to Disabled’
THEN critically you need to clear any server side caching AND clear your browser cache.’
Server side will depend on your host, and/or any caching plugins you have installed’
For your browser – see this helpful article <a href=”https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/how-to-clear-browser-cache
ok so from the admin area I think you need to hook to
do_action( 'bbp_forum_attributes_metabox_save', $forum_id );
so how are you creating the forum on bbpress? ie I go into xx and I click this and then type that
I think you need to hook to
do_action( 'bbp_new_forum_post_extras', $forum_id );
which is in the function bbp_new_forum_handler
there are options for ‘submitting’ and a spinner in
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form>option 5
Looks like you are also using elemtor, the last 2 entries on this thread might help, try the last oine first.
bbPress + Elementor
If they do, please come back and let us know so i can help others in future
ok, as a test, can you try with just Astra parent and confirm the issue still exists
thanks, I’ve just taken a look, and later versions of Astra should have the fix in them so not need this – sorry I should have remembered this.
Let me do some more digging…
Astra needs a fix for bbpress to work
Install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>theme support
sorry, not my area of expertise – this might help
How to Use bbPress on Multilingual Sites with WPML
Great, glad you are fixed 🙂
ok, all I can suggest is the standard fault finding…
it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users
Health Check & Troubleshooting
ok, so on live site he (alone?) cannot post a topic, but admin/keymaster can, but on local no-one (is this correct???) can ???
Please notice that the parent Forum is closed, white the child is open.
That would be a good one to test on your local environment, try opening parent forum and see if that works
that looks fine as a solution
sorry, been working on another project.
If you fill in the title in the admin of a reply, as far as I know it will cause no issues, I’ve not seen any code that uses this field. I cannot be absolute, but best I can say.
sounds like there is something that bbpress is seeing as an error or not filled in field.
My suggestion would be to get a screenshot of the fields he has completed (and any he hasn’t) and try the exact entry the is trying to create.
I’d also get him to try posting a test topic with something simple in another forum, or posting a reply to see if it is him, or what he is posting that is the issue
suggest you raise in the buddypress support forums
