Running bbpress 2.5.4 on WP 4.0using Twenty Twelve default theme.

When users logout they get this message:
This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?

It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.

Also, when logging in, ALL users get
You are already logged in.

after pressing submit.

Both seem to be odd responses to the task that was just completed. Is this a bug?

[coskel22]

I’m using Twenty Twelve, which is a default theme.
Thanks for checking this for me.

ok, we have two issues with wp 4.0

ISSUE 1

The first gives 404 errors with sub forums for users with default permalinks. This is due to a bug in wp4.0, and netweb is on the case to get this fixed in 4.0.1

I’m working on patch for bbpress, but otherwise in the meantime there are 3 workarounds

1. Change your permalinks to any of the other settings

Dashboard>settings>permalinks

The most often used is ‘postname’

This will not only fix your issue, but make your links look prettier. However if you have links to your site forums from other sites/emails, these links might break (ie they will come up as 404 errors), but if your choice is between users not accessing, or users complaining that the link in that old email no longer works, then resetting might seem a good idea.

2. revert to 3.9.2

see

for quite a good video on how to do it

3. Move your sub-forums up a level ie make them all main forums

and keep monitoring this site for a solution.

ISSUE TWO

The second hides topics and/or replies with some themes and other plugins. This is due to a change in wp4.0 on how it handles searches.

For the second, the patch in this plugin may help.

I’m sitting here on a beautiful sunny afternoon in Melbourne typing this on my iPad…

This “should” work fine and I’ve not heard of this before, can you test this with a WordPress default theme or two, Twenty Fourteen and Twenty Thirteen, I expect this to be a theme issue with whatever theme your using rather than a bbPress issue.

[Robkk]

what I’d like to do is by default show all existing (not just most used) topic tags when someone is creating a topic from within WP

so your saying the way how categories are displayed in backend you want for topic-tags in the frontend.

ive seen a support forum for one my themes authors site i was on have that kind of functionality (but they dont use bbpress), they use something custom.

i think how its done on their site is just some jquery , and kind of does the same functionality that the bbpress quicktag toolbar does.

like set up some a set of words then you click the button and it automatically inserts into the tag area.

but setting it up where all the tags show in the frontend would be difficult , it would probably need a hacked version of the topic tag cloud widget.

but yeah i just did a brainstorm/analysis on what you might need.

im not sure how to do this , as im very much confused by jquery and javascript

i would hire a developer to this kind of job.

OK, cannot go back to edit my topic – basically I turned off all of the plug-ins and still could not see the content of the topics. But I put on WP’s default 2014 theme and I COULD see the topics.

So— I suspect it’s my old-a** bbpress non-supported theme. For those of you who found fixes for your themes, can you tell me what you changed and what file you changed it in? I know all themes will differ but it will give me some place to start to do the fix myself.

Thank you!!!

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[Thecommonapp]

To add to the above post, I just default theme and bbpress, buddypress plugins and bbp BuddyPress profile information except with the testing and the issue continues. I did not test the plug-first rule, because it did not want to rule out any conflicts.

Just got an email there was activity in this thread, and it got me over here to share:

This morning I put an animated smiley under my profile information at the bottom using this plugin! Didn’t know if you could put images in the text field option, but you can, at least with my setup, haven’t checked default theme, etc.

I tested it with both bbCode, which I have active through a different plugin, and html.

[Sasha Endoh]

Hi all!

I was wondering if anyone can help me out with this: what I’d like to do is by default show all existing (not just most used) topic tags when someone is creating a topic from within WP, AND to show a check-list or something similar of all existing tags when someone is creating a topic from the front-end form (just like I’m doing right now).

Any pointers would be much appreciated!!

Thank y’all so much 🙂

I cannot seem to add a Forum link to my main navigation menu. When I attempt to do this the link is not added to the menu structure and the site defaults to no menu being selected under menu locations. Please advise.

[Robin W]

Ok, I have now tested more fully

wp 3.9.2 bbpress 2.5.4 permalink settings default – top level forums work, sub level forums work

wp 4.0 bbpress 2.5.4 permalink settings default – top level forums work, sub level forums don’t work

wp 4.0 bbpress 2.5.4 permalink settings postname – top level forums work, sub level forums do work

are JJJ or Netweb anywhere around to dig into this?????

[Robin W]

ok,

try

@johnjack

There seems to be several symptoms, some see topics not showing just replies, some has 404 errors wherever they are (topics, replies even forums), and some have issues with child forums.

At the moment the scenario is that since bbpress on a default theme doesn’t have these issues, then it is likely that it is a combination of wp4.0, bbpress AND one or more others.

Plugins that use code relying on searches are definitely one area, I suspect themes that look or rely on post types are another. You issue may be a third.

You seem to have disabled plugins, but have you used a default theme such as twentytwelve?

I have bbpress 2.5.4 running with twentyten and a top forum of category, a sub forum with that forum as parent, and a sub forum of that subforum all displaying fine.

If I can replicate a scenario, I can start to see if the issue is the one I’m looking at.

[Robin W]

From what other plugin authors have delved into, one of the issues (and maybe the only issue) seems to be related to the fact that bbpress sets the array $default[‘s’] in all cases on bbp_has_replies – if a search to the search, but if not a search to ‘FALSE’. Under wp4.0 it seems that if this variable is set at all, it is taken as true, so the query is assumed as true, which then returns no results and maybe hense why a 404 or nothing displayed.

I have done a quick change to bbp_has_replies to test this.

If anyone else out there still has problems with 404’s or topics/replies not showing and is on wp4, can they try the very optimistically (!) named bbpress wp4 fix plugin, and let me know if it makes a difference !+

[Robin W]

If you’re on wordpress 4.0 then there are some issues with themes and plugins, so it could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[Robin W]

yes just use a default theme and download bbpress over it.

[Robin W]

so are you saying that with all plugins disabled apart from bbpress, and a default theme, and with resetting permalinks that you still get 404 errors?

If so all I can suggest is that you revert back a wordpress version to see if that fixes

see

for quite a good video on how to do it

and then come back

[monicajay]

I already switched to a default theme and it didn’t fix it. And I just did the plugins thing you suggested and it didn’t fix it either – I activated bbpress alone and the problem was still there. I’m going to re-install WordPress now, it’s quite possibly from their newest update, this new version caused me other problems as well

[Robin W]

ok, lets see if it is a theme or plugins issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

[Robin W]

upgrading to wp 4.0 has caused some issues with bbpress and some themes and other plugins

I’d see if this is the case for you, so as a test try
