My findings (I mailed those also to @robin-w – but again – I dont think that his plugin is causing and problems)

• I restored my test site back to 4.3.1
• Added some topics and replays to subforums (nested forums)
• Then upgraded to 4.4
• After I refreshed the logged in user there seems to be no difference at first
• This is the link : http://(my_test_site)/forums/topic/new-topic-in-4-3-1-in-subforum

/#post-288 (Located in home › Forums › Website › Site Suggestions)

• Clicking on “Site suggestions” gives oops – page cannot be found
• Clicking on “Website” gives me a list of availables forums (which is as it was in 4.3.1)
• Clicking Forums > NotNestedForum (which is not nested ofc) still gives me access to topics. Adding a reply to it also does work. Also does added a new topic.
• Any nested forum is still unreachable but when I go directly to #post-288 which is in subforum wp4.4 doesnt complain. I am able to reply to that topic. *But creating new topics doesnt work ofc*

So

• Going to apply the fix : if ( ! in_array( $parent->post_status, get_post_stati( array( ‘internal’ => true ) ) ) ) *does not work* so i reverted it back
• Toggling the rights from forums and users : doesnt work
• Going to apply the fix again : if ( ! in_array( $parent->post_status, get_post_stati( array( ‘internal’ => true ) ) ) ) *Still doesnt work*

Oke, what now…

• Unnest a forum (parent = root) oh yeah that works…
• Nest it again.. Again not accessible.

Since I made some changes with togglings rights and moving nested forums to the “root” of the forums I decided to restore my testsite once more and directy move a nested forum to the “root”

• ye – moving them to the top of the forumlist (unnest) is all I needed to do basically – sure there is a bug tho but the suggested fix is not a solid fix

The fix didn’t fix anything in my situation – I have no clue if the “bbp private groups” plugin has anything the do with it (to be fair – I think it does not) but reverting back to 4.3.1 is a *bad* idea. If you must restore and backup prior to your upgrade otherwise just stick to 4.4 and unnest the forums for now.

@robin-w: did you receive my mail?

[shades404]

@robin-w I will need to get my backups to get back to the 4.3.1 situation. If you want me to check the path from a working wp4.3.1 > wp4.4 > toggle forums visibility “private > public > private” let me know.
Is there a way I can contact you directly (by mail)? Don’t the treat to be a slowchat 🙂

I did indeed go back to 4.3.1 which altered to database… thats true
So in short
1) upgraded to 4.4 > problem
2) downgraded to 4.3.1 > problem remains
3) re-upgraded to 4.4 > problem remains
4) “hacked” the function suggested by casiepa > problem remains
5) re-applied all setting as mentioned above (the “hack” at point 4 is still there)
Hope this enlights it a bit more > problem solved

Unfortunately i do not have a 4.3.1 > 4.4 situation anymore coz I did the same action also on my testsite

[shades404]

I have a testsite were I have (ofc) the same problem – I will check tomorrow toggling public/private with do the trick. To be fair – it did that (and ofc toggling the groups on the forum but after that uses were still complaining so I toggled all the users aswell – But I will check tomorrow on my testsite)

[shades404]

I did that for all forum yes and,
I did same sort of procedure for all users: get them out of the groups, update, and put them back into the groups they were before.

Hi Robin,
Got no clue either to be fair.. Also – im not sure if the plugin is causing the problem or something else but at least its fixed now.. I must also add that I had to apply the same action for all the users that got the participant roll: remove the groupmembership, update the user, then re-add them to the appropriate groups.. Moderators and Keymasters got no issues at all.

Oke – hear this:

Fixed it I think..

As I mentioned above users not able to see topics as participant but when I switch them to moderator I figured it has something to do with rights, now bbPress doesn’t really come with a sophisticated rights management so the “problem” must be with bbP private groups (although I cannot confirm the root of the problems lays there).

So, ff you are using bbP private groups and got the moderator can see participant not issue

I used the following procedure:

• Go to you dashboard > forums
• “Edit” a forum
• At the Forum Groups box deselect all groups (That box is added by bbPress private groups)
• At the Forum Attributes box set visibility to Public
• Choose Update

And now, revert to the previous settings:

• Re-select/check the Forum Groups,
• Re-apply visibility to Private
• Choose Update

Cheers

Hi Casiepa,

Is this the “ultimate fix”?

I changed the line but it does not have any effect. I also tried the “fix” by timsilva_ but that doesn’t work either. I revert back to 4.3.1, disabled all plugins but bbPress and the problem remains. Before the upgrade there were no problems.

I’m using quite a lot of bbPress enhancement addons but i don’t think they interfere

• bbP private groups 3.0.8<
• bbPress Do Short Codes 1.0.3
• ppPress Votes 1.1.0
• GD bbPress Attachments 2.3.1

Since Im a keymaster I didnt notice is but got complains from user there topics were gone. Also – they can actually create new topics and they are saved but they just cant see them. They got the imfamous “Oh bother!” message but the freshness information bar says they actually were the last that posted something.

Now – if I make that user moderator everything seems to be working as it should – but hey – i dont want to apply that workaround.

Our problem has something to do with the upgrade and I guess something to do with rights. The only rights-plugin being used is bbp private groups but people confirmed that that plugin is compatible..

Also change the permalink to default – no effect aswell

Please advice..
