Update 2: Moderators can post.
Update: if a subscriber level user is assigned the keymaster role – they cannot post either.
I also can’t reply to topics either
Hello, I ended up resetting my forums as this solution did not resolve the problem.
I tried to import the forums, topics and posts back in but this crashed my server so I think I have to start from scratch again which is upsetting.
There’s only one more problem that I’ve noticed, if a standard user (at subscriber level – participant level on the forum) posts a topic it works. But if I as the administrator (key master) tries to post a topic, nothing happens, I click the button and it reloads the page with my topic still drafted.
Any ideas?
This only happened when I deactivated/reactivated bb press, which I did because of the problem that turned out to be the theme. Strange right?
Thank you so much for your reply.
1. I can see the forums from the backend.
2. Yes, I can view them if they are embedded.
3. If I try viewing a forum through its actual link I get the 404. The forum root page is displaying only the public forums but it was displaying all. I can view the forum if it’s embedded in a page.
I am logged in as the keymaster, other accounts are the same.
The problem with the theme was that a page’s layout had changed. BBpress was fine with the new theme until this morning when I deactivated and reactivated.
I have tried deactivating some of the plugins. I cannot deactivate Wishlist Member as it is an active membership site with paying customers so I can’t afford the down time.
If I switch the forums to public, they display correctly through the links and through the forum root page. This is what I have done for a temporary fix.
Is there anything else I can try or is my only solution here to disable wishlist member as well and take the site down when changing to a different theme?
Many thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Steve
Also, for some reason the sticky topics are appearing across all forums?
