If you have one of the two issues listed above, then you can se if the suggestions work for you, or wait. The first has a ticket with wordpress so hopefully will be fixed in 4.0.1

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

great – glad you’re fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

are they logging out from the toolbar – the black bar at the top of the website?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

what is your register paged linked to?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back and report

ok, we have two issues with wp 4.0

ISSUE 1

The first gives 404 errors with sub forums for users with default permalinks. This is due to a bug in wp4.0, and netweb is on the case to get this fixed in 4.0.1

I’m working on patch for bbpress, but otherwise in the meantime there are 3 workarounds

1. Change your permalinks to any of the other settings

Dashboard>settings>permalinks

The most often used is ‘postname’

This will not only fix your issue, but make your links look prettier. However if you have links to your site forums from other sites/emails, these links might break (ie they will come up as 404 errors), but if your choice is between users not accessing, or users complaining that the link in that old email no longer works, then resetting might seem a good idea.

2. revert to 3.9.2

see

for quite a good video on how to do it

3. Move your sub-forums up a level ie make them all main forums

and keep monitoring this site for a solution.

ISSUE TWO

The second hides topics and/or replies with some themes and other plugins. This is due to a change in wp4.0 on how it handles searches.

For the second, the patch in this plugin may help.

and yes they will share the same user database 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

jerry – the article is mine, and one of the forums I run!

I’m not sure quite what your question is?

Can you detail what is missing/needed/different?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

hey, power to you for developing your own theme – not something I’ve attempted !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

ok, I looked again. because I had selected ‘wordpress’ it looked fine as there is only one topic, when looking at others it moves.

Your theme is setting your sidebar position to relative which means it sits in the middle vertically of the content, so as topics build it will go lower.

I Suggest you contact your theme provider for how to get the sidebar to stay at the top

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

Ok, I know what the problem is

for a forum structure where the parent is forum-a and the sub-forum is forum-b

under 4.0 the permalink is

http://www.mysite.com/?forum=forum-b

whereas to work it should be
http://www.mysite.com/?forum=forum-a/forum-b

So now we have a problem definition, only need to find a solution now, which is the tricky part !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

I guess I’m asking what folder and file contains the page template for http://www.paraquadaccess.com/forums/forum/forums/

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

I used IE – all I saw what that the sidebar was consistent between the site and forums and topics. Since you didn’t detail exactly what was different between the pages, I may not have seen the error !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

I have opened up a trac ticket for this (trac tickets are used by the dev’s to trac developments and fixes)

There seem tio be issues with wpml and bbpress see

http://wpml.org/forums/topic/wpml-plugins-conflict-with-bbpress/

as an example.

I’d suggest you try raising a ticket with wpml to see fi there has been a resolution since that post

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

probably, which plugin does it conflict with ?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

Sorry I couldn’t see an issue, it all looked good to me.

Are you fixed, or can you give a more detailed explanation as to what you issue is.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

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.

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

@adventureridingnz

@halo-diehard

Great, gad it’s working for you !

@thecommonapp – think you posted in the wrong topic, but yes my fix plugin doesn’t work for all, I’m still digging !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

Ok, I have now tested more fully

wp 3.9.2 bbpress 2.5.4 permalink settings default – top level forums work, sub level forums work

wp 4.0 bbpress 2.5.4 permalink settings default – top level forums work, sub level forums don’t work

wp 4.0 bbpress 2.5.4 permalink settings postname – top level forums work, sub level forums do work

are JJJ or Netweb anywhere around to dig into this?????

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

ok,

try

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

what do you mean by management extensions – do you mean plugins?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 10 months ago]

@johnjack

There seems to be several symptoms, some see topics not showing just replies, some has 404 errors wherever they are (topics, replies even forums), and some have issues with child forums.

At the moment the scenario is that since bbpress on a default theme doesn’t have these issues, then it is likely that it is a combination of wp4.0, bbpress AND one or more others.

Plugins that use code relying on searches are definitely one area, I suspect themes that look or rely on post types are another. You issue may be a third.

You seem to have disabled plugins, but have you used a default theme such as twentytwelve?

I have bbpress 2.5.4 running with twentyten and a top forum of category, a sub forum with that forum as parent, and a sub forum of that subforum all displaying fine.

If I can replicate a scenario, I can start to see if the issue is the one I’m looking at.
