@robin-w Thanks for those, I will take a look and see if I can find anything obvious.
I wonder if there is something as simple as using the phrase ‘reply’ that is having a clash with a post reply type?
I tried changing the bbpress root slugs from reply to something else but it didn’t seem to solve it.
Many thanks, A
Hi,
Yes, I have done as well, but my question here now is to find out what is done differently by bbpress that distinguishes a topic from a reply.
Perhaps if I can understand this, I may be able to figure out what I can change in the functions.php etc to solve it for now.
Thanks, A
OK, my theme is seeing the edit reply page as a ‘reply’ type page, but it sees the edit original post as a ‘topic’ page…
How to tell the theme that when editing a topic/rely/edit page that it is a ‘topic’ type page?
Or is this something that can be done in the bbpress settings?
Cheers, Andrew
Hi @robin-w , Yep, have tried all above…
For me, it is theme related, as all works fine on 2014, but if this is the case, any idea what is the different trigger that may cause this? Why would you be able to edit on the first post and not a reply? What is it that changes between the two that would cause an issue?
Post type? Permalink issue? Page type? Template type?
Any ideas?
Cheers, Andrew
I guess I should have started my own thread for this, but for me, I don’t have any imported threads/replies/topics, but all of my replies give this error when trying to edit, yet the first topic post can be edited without issue.
There must be a simple answer to this because everything else works.
I am thinking it is a Custom Post Type registry problem , my theme is seeing the edit page as a ‘reply’ type page. Any ideas where to get started in order to check if the CPT is registered properly? Or how to change the CPT for an edit?
Cheers, Andrew
I have this exact same problem.
Thread topic is editable, all replies cannot be edited and go to a 404 page
It seems many many people are having this issue with various themes, I have managed to almost get mine working by tampering with the blog template settings..
However it seems that this issue could be avoided altogether if the user page could be a shortcode in a hardcoded page instead of dynamically being created which is why so many themes are not doing it correctly.
Surely BBPress could figure out a more stable way of doing this user profile page?
I’m having this issue too. (although t is not related to spaces in username as users without this have the same issue.
It only happens for non admin users…
Any updates on this issue?
Cheers, Andrew
