Sorry I entered wordfence dot org as my email address an then edited it a few seconds later to my correct email which is mark at wordfence dot com. You must have loaded the page faster than I could edit. Sorry about that.
I’ve implemented the fix suggested here with the User Role Editor plugin:
http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/dont-upgrade-to-bbpress-2-2/
It works like a charm and we’re up and running again with it on our production site.
BuddyPress has me install bbPress, and when I disable BuddyPress’ forums it makes the forum page look like a blank profile (?) with Private or Public messaging buttons.
I’m confused. I just want the “New Topic” button to work.
No worries JJ, I’ll wait for the docs.
So how do you envisage what the best way forward would be for site owners that use membership plugins?
Is there anything we can build into BBPress to enable the ‘Participant’ level being attributed to all users excpt admins or unless it’s changed otherwise?
I’m not quite sure how to move forward.
I could use a user role capability plugin, but is that not just complicating things?
Also, where does the ‘member’ label come from that I’m seeing for regular members? It’s not actually a role that is selectable in the backend.
‘Participant’ is as close as I can find to be suitable for normal members that have their role assigned by the S2 Member plugin I use for membership.

Maybe a small plugin for choose the button(s) to show in bbpress is a good idea 🙂
Thank you for the fast reply. However, since i’m really no programmer at all, I have no idea what you mean. English is also a second language for me.
“Try display: block;’ing the main content div, or the wrapper around your content.”
The first part of the sentence does not make sense to me, and I don’t understand what you mean by “wrapper”.
Are you suggesting that I modify a CSS file? If so, you’ll have to tell me exactly where and how!
The other weird display problem that I get is since I activated bbPress, the page of the installed plugins menu (admin dashbord) does not show up when I click on it. I have to mouse over for some elements to show up. I can also reduce the size of my browser, and the parts of the page that are “hidden” suddenly appear once I resize the page to a big size. Weird stuff. Otherwise eveything runs perfectly.
I’d just like to make forum members able to easily edit their posts.
Thank you.
Sounds like the problem is s2Member using set_role() which wipes out all roles a user might have.
Basically, s2member is not compatible with users having multiple roles.
Tried emailing you a few times, got bounced back.

Like from object… No more Ultimate TinyMCE (no more other button except wp default) in Fancy editor after latest (2.2) bbpress update :/
John I’d be more than happy to set up a linux VPS with wp.org installed with s2members and bbpress configured to reproduce the issue. If that would help you get a fix out sooner, let me know and I’ll get it up within a few minutes. Drop me an email at mark at wordfence dot com.

Thanks, I just came back to confirm that it’s S2Members related.
When I create a new user they can view the forum URL’s. But when I change their role to “s2Member level 2” or any s2 level, they instantly get 404’s on all forum pages.
Heading over to s2forums to try and find that post you mentioned.
@rossagrant – Not yet, need to write something up soon though.
There’s a topic in the S2Member forums that explains how to fix this. This is related to having customized roles and capabilities setup that bbPress isn’t looking in the database for any longer.
It probably sounds and feels counter-intuitive now, but the new roles and capabilities in bbPress 2.2 are actually intended to prevent these exact problems in the future. The forums roles and caps in bbPress 2.0 and 2.1 weren’t very cooperative, so everyone rolled their own.
Now that we’ve dialed it in, everything you’ve customized isn’t playing nicely anymore.
Unclear exactly what the *best* solution is for everyone, since every installation is different. Anyone want to volunteer to give me a peek into their installation and let me toy around?
Who said you weren’t being helpful?
Much of it is the same. You’ll want to focus on:
- turning the BuddyPress forums component Off
- the bbPress 1.1 import tool
- the BuddyPress settings in: Settings > Forums
For those <= 2.1.3 what parts should I focus upon to make them 100% accurate?
I’m happy to update the video to improve it for folks who need the same. Based on the comments to the video, it seemed to have been useful to the community and helped many folks out.
Just trying to help…
your feedback is greatly appreciated
They’re new in bbPress 2.2.
- Spectators can view the forum, but cannot contribute.
- Visitors are what you are before you become a participant. You have the same capabilities as a participant, but you haven’t participated yet.
Could probably remove/hide the Visitor role from display, since it’s not really useful for anyone to manually select it.
I don’t think this guide is 100% accurate anymore, so not worth keeping stuck until it’s corrected.
Mmmm…..
Maybe want to hang on to the sticky for a bit longer?
2.2 seems to have unleashed a wave of calls and emails to our office from folks having some troubles with the update… especially those running any plugins that worked with <= 2.1.3 … many of those plugins aren’t playing nice with 2.2
I’m going to be doing a bunch of testing and experimenting in the meantime, but for now many folks have a nice safe place to go with 2.1.3 while the new stuff shakes out on 2.2+
When our new video is ready, I’ll send it over to help out anyone with these growing pains.
Cheers!

If users show up as anonymous, and post_author’s are incorrect, then something was wrong with the migration script. You can try the Importer that comes with bbPress 2.2, but I’m not sure what “ImportForums” is to be much more helpful.
Jennifer,
Yes we’re using S2Member but nothing changed with that. The upgrade seems to have triggered it so perhaps it’s an incompatibility between s2member and 2.2.
After I downgraded to 2.1.3 I’m getting “You do not have permission to create new topics.” for any user including admin when they try to create a new topic. Looks like the 2.2 upgrade changed the DB schema making downgrade impossible?
So we’re between a rock and a hard place. I’m going to dive into the bbPress code because this is a production website supporting our security plugin. If you have any additional pointers like the s2member suggestion which was very helpful I’d very much appreciate them.
Regards,
Mark.

A small but annoying problem: when users (or admins) try to edit their replies, the page that loads does not seem to load properly. They have to leave frontend and go to the dashboard in order to do so, because only half the frontend edit page loads and there is no “update” button in sight. Am I the only one with that problem? Any advice? Thank you.
Thank you for your responses but I haven´t been able to fix the problem yet.
Unfortunatelly the embeeding is not working even using just the image or video url. It is only showing hyperlinks to the URLs.
As suggested by the codex embeds page I used the [embed]…[/embed] shortcodes with the same results.
By the way, I have wordpress “Auto-embeds” and bbpress “Auto-embed Links” checked
Any other idea on how to fix this problem?
if necesary you can use this test user:Username: ricardo2012

Hi there! I also have the same issues. But it is affecting my pages also.
http://www.caiminds.com
For troubleshooting purposes when getting a “page not found” message:
From WP Admin > Forums, choose a public forum and click on View. Does the forum display correctly when accessed via the URL from the WordPress admin area?
From WP Admin > Topics, choose a public topic and click on View. Does the topic display correctly?
Do the same for Private and Hidden.
Are you running any plugins that change URL structures? Have you used any user/role management plugins, such as Members or s2Member?
