Does anyone have any input on this?
I concluded that upgrading the WP and hopefully fixing the initial error is the best way. It has worked before, so it can’t be such a big problem.
Thanks again for your help Stephen!
Yes its getting there slowly 🙂
Aha, that might work. I wonder what it does when a user does not exist? There are some posts that belongs to deleted users. I guess I’ll find out soon enough 🙂
Thank you very mutch for all your help so far!
I made the first step work. Waiting for a while and then just continuing did the job.
However I am having trouble with the WordPress import/export function. When I am about to import at the live site it wants me to manually fit the users who wrote the posts with the ones on the site. When you import from one site to another I can see that this is needed, but in my case the users are a exact match, and we are talking about a couple of thousands users.. *Scratching the back of my head*
Well that almost worked! It imports for a while (no loop, all good), but then I get this error. I don’t know if that is a memory issue or what?
WordPress database error: [User ‘steilenhang’ has exceeded the ‘max_updates’ resource (current value: 36000)]
I will be upgrading as soon as possible, no doubt.
I am setting up a test site right now, hopefully that works 🙂
I am still using 3.3.1. I can upgrade to 3.4, but thats it.
However, I could set up a Wp 3.5.1 testsite on another domain and try to import the forum there. If it works I can move the tables from that database to the current one. If I knew what tables to move. I know posts and replys are a wp_posts and wp_postsmeta, but I guess there is more information somewhere?
Hi Stephen, thank you for your answer!
I did what you said, except I am not using WP 3.5.1 yet because a couple of my plugins seems to have a problem with it.
However, the same thing happened again. The same 3 topics over and over.
Hmm. It’s actually inporting 3 topics, I didn’t look in the trash. One published, and two deleted ones. One of them is the one I deleted as explained in the previous post. I should have known that it would still be there.
It inports these 3 over and over again during “Calculating forum hierarchy (0 – 99)”.
I got phpmyadmin if there is something I should delete permanently…
Do you have a User Role plugin of some kind? That can produce the problem you are describing.
I did read your problem. You can make the path the way you want in the settings. I moved from an old installation to a new one myself and faced the same thing. It proved to be quite easy.
I would think that installing the latest bbPress, inporting data from the old one including users, deleting the old bbPress, and then changing the slugs in Settings -> Forums should do what you want.
Remember to always backup first.
Yep you are definetly on to something Michael!
You can remove “plugins” from the topic. The standard TinyMCE does not work either. Only admin can change color of the text, align right, etc. Looks like my bbPress has a general issue with TinyMCE.
oh wait, might have got it working. I replaced ‘ with ‘:
function no_edit_lock($retval, $cur_time, $lock_time, $post_date_gmt){
return false;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_past_edit_lock’, ‘no_edit_lock’, 1, 4);
Well it did not work right out of the box. What does “1, 4” do at the end of this line?
add_filter( ‘bbp_past_edit_lock’, ‘no_edit_lock’, 1, 4);
Well I did that now. All custom roles are gone, the plugin is deleted, users have been remapped to default forum roles and bbPress still does not work as it should.
Do you have any idea of how to get this working? I have tried everything I can think of. I can’t find any leftovers from the role plugin either.
OK, but how do I make it work then? Reset and remove the User Role Editor, and then “Remap existing users to default forum roles”? I want bbPress more than custom roles to put it that way.
So I got a little further. In “User Role Editor -> Custom capabilities” the new forum capabilities shows up. If you enable them in the other WP roles the 404 error is gone and everyone can write like normal.
However, even though I enabled “edit_topics” and “edit_replys”, nobody can edit but admin. Deleting does not work either.
I hope there will be some core changes to make this work. I have several plugins that creates their own roles and capabilities and they all work fine with User Role Editor and each other. bbPress should too.
I just managed to upgrade from 1.0.2 to 2.2.3 and now I have the same 404 error like you guys do. Your patch did not work for me 082net, sorry.
I am still using WP 3.3, but I have “User Role Editor” installed…
Well you always take a backup before you do anything, so that is not a problem. If it does not work, just restore.
Yea I can’t get anywhere. If I try to update from 1.0.2 to 1.2 I just get a white screen after replacing the files. If I don’t upgrade and just try to import from 1.0.2 into the latest 2.2 I get errors like “Motionworks” reported 2 months ago in this topic.
