Just had another thought
can you go to
dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save.
This resets the permalinks.
Then try the keymaster bug fix again
ok, that is strange, and not sure why that would happen.
The fact that the option to add keymaster back appears should mean that it just goes through ok.
I think you will need to add it back within the database.
do you have phpmyadmin access ?
so in dashboard do you see forums, topics or replies?
\bbpress\includes\topics\template.php line 3277
the ‘get’ function has a filter on it you can hook to
ok, so if you have no keamasters, I refer you back to my previous post about installing the additional plugin, you can uninstall it aftwerwards, it just lets you add a keymaster if you are an admin and there are no keymasters assigned.
if that is what you meant by ‘ unfortunately didn’t work.’, the you need to say exactly what you mean by that statement, what did you do, see, press and what happened
sorry, I don’t understand.
do you have someone who is a keymaster or not?
I’m not a bbpress author, so cannot comment on why.
ok, so if there are no keymasters, if you add this plugin:
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes
you will get the ability to add yourself back as a keymaster
ok, so yes only keymasters can see forums in the dashboard
and only a keymaster can appoint another keymaster, so you’ll need to get the ID with the role to appoint you :
dashboard>users>all users> and select the ID you want to appoint, then edit and near the bottom you’ll see the bbpress roles listed.
have a look in
dashboard>users>your username
you should be a ‘keymaster’
let me know what that says
@codejp3 the issue with the convertors is 2 fold.
1. it needs the users on both sites to be exactly the same user_ID’s
2. With a million replies it’ll fall over and need repeating/restarting – going the database route is the best option
my recommendation would be to
on the destination site export any posts and pages (there are not usually that many) using dashboard>ttols>export. Then use phpmyadmin and move the whole source site to the destination site.
Then you can import the posts pages and add back any users unique to the destination site.
that way the linkage between users, topics and replies will remain in tact.
the fact that any old destination site page or post ID’s and user ID’s change should not matter
php level.
Frankly it’s really not easy to move forums, topics and replies between sites if not moving the while site.
bbpress users custom post types, and manages the relationships between them via both post_parent and post meta. If you just export and import again, if the post ID frtom the source site is already being used by the destinatiion site, the the wp import process just allocates a free number, so the relationships gets all messed up.
ditto if the user ID’s do not exactly match, then again these get to be wrong.
I have done transfers as paid jobs for clients in the past, and have some code that does a few bits that get over this, but it is not really generic, so would need someone who knows WordPress database well and is happy with php. I am short on time at the moment to do the job.
go to
dashboard>topics or dashboard>replies and see if the post is in there and marked as pending. If so you can approve or reject it
On the basic bbpress plugin, you can approve/reject topics in the backend dashboard, but the user sees nothing.
There is a moderation section in my style pack additional plugin which adds better moderation options
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Moderation
ok, no one else is reporting this, and I cannot replicate this error.
This suggests it is site specific.
If you are happy that you are getting this on a reply from you where you have definitely only hit the submit button once, then I can only suggest you do 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
Then come back
Otherwise maybe talk to your hosting provider about site speed
can you deactivate and delete the plugin, and then download a new version from here
bbp G+1 like button for forum topics
great – glad you’re fixed
sorry no, bbpress only works as a plugin within wordpress.
if you want to use lots of the templates from this site, then Kadence is probably not the best place to start.
In essence you will be fighting your desired changes with theirs.
With template ordering it is quite possible, but beyond free help, and I am fully engaged in existing paid work to take on more.
as I said the problem is that Kadence does extensive bbpress modification, so things that link to bbpress may or may not work. Not much I can do about it – sorry
