ok,

try

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.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

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

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years 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.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

Also if anyone has a setup where the addition or removal of a single plugin causes the issue, then come back, or if a free theme causes it.

At the moment I’m guessing at the problem, as I cannot replicate, so need a simple setup to validate

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

From what other plugin authors have delved into, one of the issues (and maybe the only issue) seems to be related to the fact that bbpress sets the array $default[‘s’] in all cases on bbp_has_replies – if a search to the search, but if not a search to ‘FALSE’. Under wp4.0 it seems that if this variable is set at all, it is taken as true, so the query is assumed as true, which then returns no results and maybe hense why a 404 or nothing displayed.

I have done a quick change to bbp_has_replies to test this.

If anyone else out there still has problems with 404’s or topics/replies not showing and is on wp4, can they try the very optimistically (!) named bbpress wp4 fix plugin, and let me know if it makes a difference !+

@joesusername

Given that you’ve downgraded, suspect you won’t want to upgrade again to do a test !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

given that you paid money for this theme, I’d be annoyed that you are not getting support form the theme writer.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

I can’t see where that is, not quite sure what you mean by ‘topic overview’

Can you post a link?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

the following will disable the toolbar for all but admins

//disable toolbar for non-admins
if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
show_admin_bar(false);
}

put this in your function file

see

The you can add a widget login to the sidebar

Dashboard>appearance>widgets and look for (bbpress) login widget

You can also add logins to the menu see

If you’re on wordpress 4.0 then there are some issues with themes and plugins, so 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.

Thanks fro the reminder – the original is

the Version for buddypress

bbp buddypress profile information

isn’t yet, it’s on a long list of things to do, but the version on my site is stable and quite usable !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

Do you mean anonymous users, or those registered – could you explain a bit more?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

yes just use a default theme and download bbpress over it.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

yes,

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

I immediately thought an extension conflict, but disabling and removing bbpress, checking if it was deleted from the FTP and updating management extensions, and the bug persists.

If removing bbpress did not fix, then the issue is not with bbpress?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

so are you saying that with all plugins disabled apart from bbpress, and a default theme, and with resetting permalinks that you still get 404 errors?

If so all I can suggest is that you revert back a wordpress version to see if that fixes

see

for quite a good video on how to do it

and then come back

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

you could try going back a version

upgrading to wp 4.0 has caused some issues with bbpress and some themes and other plugins

I’d see if this is the case for you, so as a test try

Glad you found some stuff I have written useful

Unfortunately to get to the level you want to you will need to start dabbling with code

should help you.

Breadcrumbs

but hiding the breadcrumbs per the directions didn’t work for some reason.

You’d need to tell us what you did to help you further

Forums name

That initial breadcrumb belongs to your theme, so you’ll need to query it with your theme provider.

Any idea how long it’s going to be before Live Preview is ready for prime time?

that code is written by a private individual, so no-one but him can say when it would be live, and I don’t know if it works !

Finally, how do I make the posts and the editor wider. Is that CSS controlled by my theme or bbPress?

theme !
