Thanks for jumping on this everyone, it’s appreciated. 🙂

@casiepa I have WP 4.4 with BuddyPress, bbPress and WooCommerce in a local environment. No fancy permalink settings, except for the root forum slug set to “forum”. But to be sure, here is a screenshot of my forum’s permalink settings: https://i.imgur.com/X6jfnrQ.png

I also should have mentioned before that all of my parent & child forums are set to private.

@KPDub I tried the same thing that you did by turning the parent forum from private into public. That worked to solve the incorrectly generated URLs! It does require making the parent forum public though, which we obviously don’t want all users and guests to see. So it appears that the issue has some relationship to parent forums being set to private.

Here is my actual structure that always works:
/forum/categories/parent/child/

After WP 4.4, if the “parent” forum is set to “Private”, then the forum links to:
/forum/categories/child/ (which returns a 404 error, while the above link still works)

After setting the “parent” forum to “Public”, the correct URL is made again:
/forum/categories/parent/child/
…but, the leaves the “parent” forum’s threads visible to everyone.

@schwarzkopfclub If my information in this post doesn’t lead to replication of the bug, I will try to make it happen from a fresh setup. 🙂

@robkk My 404 error is my custom theme’s version (theme/404.php), not the “Oh bother” one that bbPress includes.

I believe that am having the exact same issue as well after updating to WP 4.4

In more detail, here is what is going on. My child board URLs used to link to:

/forum/categories/parent/child/

Now, the links point to:

/forum/categories/child/ (which returns a 404 error, while the link above still works)

It appears that for some reason the parent category isn’t being included when the URL is generated. The actual URLs all still work the same, but the links that are created are wrong.

Thanks for the suggestion Pascal!

I didn’t realize that page was for any and all jobs (I assumed it was jobs for Automattic). I will definitely give that a shot.

Cheers. 🙂

Hi there, I’m still curious if there’s anyone on here with manual MySQL migration skills. References to someone you know would be helpful too. Otherwise, does anyone know of any good places to find WP specialized backend devs who freelance?

My budget is $5k.

Thanks! 🙂

Thanks for all the info Rob! I didn’t know about the shift+enter trick. I was hoping to find a way to avoid enabling TinyMCE for bbPress, but maybe it’s the best path to what I’m looking for.

@Stephen – I missed your response to my last comment, thanks for following up. 🙂

I checked out the 2.6 milestone tickets and was happy to see a solution to my problem already in there.

Also, I have read many posts like this ( https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/multiple-newlines-in-a-post/ ), but I am looking for a more permanent solution for all users if its out there.

[timsilva_]

Just wanted to bump this topic as I am also looking for the exact solution.

Has anyone found a method for creating pages under the bbPress directory?

Hi Stephen! Thanks for all of your volunteer work on this, I greatly appreciate it. 🙂

Just a few questions, and I did do a few days of research (with no luck) before asking.

1.) Any plans to support importing of private messages? I plan to use BuddpyPress + bbPress, so the feature will be covered. What are the chances of adding another checkbox to “optional settings” that says “Attempt to import private messages to BuddyPress”

2.) I have noticed that my existing SMF database had a handful of deleted accounts, so my settings left those posts behind as “Guest” posts (and it displayed the deleted user’s old username). In WordPress + bbPress, I created the original admin/keymaster user in my fresh install. After doing the SMF to bbPress import, the “Guest” posts from the deleted account are automatically assigned to the existing admin/keymaster user that I created in WordPress. Is there a cleaner way to handle this default behavior? Do these posts from deleted accounts require being assigned to an account? If not, could I somehow mass re-attribute these posts to a different account?
