I don’t do development of bbpress, just write supporting plugins and offer support here.
yes this is a known issue
see
http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-wp4-fix/
and/or
http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-wp4-fix2/
there’s a trac ticket for it somewhere, but bbpress authors see it as a wordpress fix
sorry – not ignoring you – tied up elsewhere at the mo, but I’ll try and find some time to read and understand this evening !
ok, very confused now. How can someone comment on a post if they can’t see the post??
ok, thanks – sorry it’s sometimes hard to understand the obvious until you see it !
so I’m presuming that there should be some content to that post?!
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
that link comes back with ‘unfortunately the messages were deleted as requested’ and I can’t see
ok, sorry but isn’t that what it is doing??
I think you will need to post a screenshot and details of what should be different
so to understand – in place of the comment form, you’d like say a link/button that brings up the form?
great – to help others please post back your solution if successful, or come back for further help !
Also I am not sure there is a visitor WordPress role.
oops… no there isn’t – old code left on my test site !
and who gets what were just examples 🙂
he is on one.com – great work robkk !
Not really sure what you are doing.
Can you give us a link to a page showing the issue, and post the content of that page – ie the shortcodes etc. that is creating it.
interesting
Do you have phpmyadmin access to your database?
If so then I think you need to be looking to compare the data in posts and postmeta between one that works and one that doesn’t to see what is different.
not tested, but the following in your functions file should do it
you’ll need to edit the code for which role does what
add_action('wp_login', 'rew_assign_role_on_login', 10, 2);
//this function assigns user to bbp roles on login
function rew_assign_role_on_login($user_login, $user) {
$user_id = $user->ID ;
$role = get_role($use_id) ;
if (empty ($role)) return ; //has no role in the database
if ($role == 'administrator' ) $new_role = 'bbp_keymaster' ;
if ($role == 'editor' ) $new_role = 'bbp_moderator' ;
if ($role == 'author' ) $new_role = 'bbp_moderator' ;
if ($role == 'contributor' ) $new_role = 'bbp_participant' ;
if ($role == 'visitor' ) $new_role = 'bbp_blocked' ;
if ($role == 'subscriber' ) $new_role = 'bbp_spectator' ;
bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, $new_role)
}
link to your site and an example please

it would be code-able, but I don’t know of anything that does this already
I can’t replicate the problem, so hard to say what the issue is
have you amended any files in bbpress?
No problem !
The core issue is with wordpress for fixing !
ok, so the trac ticket says
‘That’s because the dropdown exists at the bottom too which replaces the values from the top on submit.’
just checked and if you change it at the bottom, it works, so do that !
I can’t immediately see what the issue is, but I’ll try and take a deeper look tomorrow
just tested and bulk change isn’t working on my test site either
whilst forums are part of bbpress – I think this is a buddypress question – try posting on there
