I have to apologize. It turns out that this ONLY happens in the latest version of the OneCommunity theme (theme forest). If anyone else is using 1.51 version they should be warned that this is limited to that theme. I apologize for not checking it in 2014, 2015, and other themes.
THANK YOU everyone for the help! š
I am on the theme designer’s butt about this right now, as the support for that theme is not very good at all.
Hi @robkk
(somehow i managed to unsubscribe from my own topic…thus the delayed response). Thanks for your answer.
My forums are intended to be group forums for buddypress. And this is also the case in which I have this bug.
So in regular forums a user who has the overall moderator priviledge (set in user settings) can set tags. Works as expected.
In the case where a user has overall participant priviledges and I set a user in the group management setting (I suppose thats BuddyPress) to be moderator, then the user cant assign tags anymore although he could as a normal member. This is the behaviour I would consider a bug š
No I havent tried creating custom roles. IĀ“m also not sure about the interaction with BuddyPress, thus I tried to get some help here first.
On my regular installation I have a role editing plugin, but not on the new test platform. Thus I would discard this as a cause for the bug.
I just ran the repair feature which updated 1 user on the test platform, but this didnt affect the priviledge to post tags. It just resets the overall moderator role of a person to normal participant (if the user has a WordPress subscriber role).
Regerding the other trouble shooting:
– Its a fresh installation
– With 2015 theme
– Only bbPress & BuddyPress as plugins
– I just ran the repair functions again, since this is a fresh install nothing has been updated according to the notifications from the repair functions.
IĀ“m aware that this seems to be an issue between bbPress & BuddyPress and IĀ“m not sure which plugin causes this bug. Since bbPress tags are disappearing I thought it might be bbPress.
Any further ideas how to approach this?
@dustywhite
Make sure to create a topic and test in a default theme from WordPress to see if the issue persists there too
Can you see the forums on the frontend of your site??
Are you saying you cannot see it in the backend in Forums > All FOrums??
While testing your theme everything works fine for me.
You can try some troubleshooting to see if this is hopefully not a cache issue, or see if a plugin is causing the conflict, or if running the repair tools in Tools > Forums helps.

WP= 4.3.1 bbPress= 2.5.8 Postman SMTP= 1.6.24
Iām learning WP by building a dummy site as a prelude to rebuilding camera club site. Work in progress at: http://www.snapsphotoservices.biz/
An important feature will be forums. I installed bbPress and all was good until I sent out test messages to selected subscribers. Despite the recipients getting the notifications correctly I was never the less presented with MDS errors: Mail Delivery System <MAILER-DAEMON@smtprelay08.hostedemail.com>Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender
Thinking I had server issues I moaned at my host who said āItās not usā¦ā As SMTP is said to be more reliable I added plugin Easy WP SMTP to the mix. It made no difference. I then tried Postman SMTP and created a new email address so that forums related to this and WP just dealt with original mail.
Strangely itās this original mail that sent messages are referring to. Attached is a shot of the header a recipient sees. The Mochdre boot address is the address Postman is given and the snaps address is the default WP email address.
Hooray! It worked a treat, everybody gets the messages and I get no errors. Untill tonight when my inbox was filled with the old error messages.
Tried deactivating all plugins etc to no avail. How do I stop WP using its own snaps address when Iāve told SMTP plugin to use mochdreboot address? Or, if I create a mail account of noreply@snaps etc, what the heck happens to all the mail the server gets dumped with (assuming it would help)?
This is doing my head in. Please advise.
Hi,
I have 404 error when I tried to open my forums through menu “forum”, I have followed the guideline and all the posts about 404 error, no solution work for me.
Then I tried to debug but unfortunately debug.log didn’t appear under wp-content directory, and I have tried Debug Bar plugin, also not working.
My site is installed on my computer and I have checked the directory “www” of my site, there is no directory called “forums” or “forum”, but my forum is supposed to be “mysite.com/forums/forum/test-forum”. I am using Allegiant theme, any advice would be very appreciated.
Hello everyone, I am new to bbpress and slowly working my way around lol
I’ve modified template.php to add the text “You are here:” to the breadcrumbs to match the breadcrumbs for the rest of my site, but I’d prefer to use a function to make these changes instead. The problem is I cannot wrap my head around the proper code and nothing I have found through searching has worked so far.
Can someone help me with this please?
My site: http://www.lissyhunnybee.com/discussions/
I have the latest versions of both wordpress and bbpress and am using the Darling theme which is a child theme of Genesis/Studio Press.
Thanx in advance š
Hello
I’ve a wordpress site with WP 4.3.1 with buddypress 2.3.4 and bbpress 2.5.8.
In the forum we have topics which are being used as profiles i wanna use the forum ranks as extra avatar.
I also want to add en avatar which can be uploaded by the user it self.
How can i do that with this combination or it it impossible?
I’ve search for plugins but i couldn’t find any one compatible with the current wp version.

BBpress works fine, but from replies I canĀ“t see about 1/2 inch on the right side. Testet with Firefox and Opera and Safari. (It works on Safari on iPhone.)
Please have a look.

Please help.
@shawnsauce
Was the forum ever in a BuddyPress private or hidden group??
Did you ever use another private group plugin and make that group with the forum private?
Has the forum ever a private or hidden forum??
Does this only happen in your current theme?
Have you tried disabling all plugins except bbPress to see if the issue persists?
Have you tried running the repair tools one at a time in the WordPress backend in Tools > Forums.
Troubleshooting
Also I am testing with this theme and I am not getting this issue, I think there must be some setting somewhere that is making the forum not be visible in the search results.
Hey,
Thanks for your response.
I tried using the methods that the page you provided recommended but it didn’t seem to effect anything.
A little more details since I have been testing this.
I did a search not using the bbpress search function and the results were what I would expect them to be.
See here: http://citysocial.xyz/?s=jazz
If you compare it to the results from the bbpress search (http://citysocial.xyz/forums/search/?bbp_search=jazz) you’ll see that the searches are inconsistent.
I have a similar issue I think ..
I’m on bbpress 2.5.3 and wpress 4.3.1 set up as site, blog, and forum.
Regarding registrants roles, all Participants are Subscribers.
Yet some Subscribers have blank/no role for the forum.
Does this mean that a Subscriber doesn’t have access to the forum (if they’ve created an account via blog replay first) ..?
I’ve tested but can’t seem to determine the process. Sometimes I get a new registrant/user row but all fields are blank .. not trying to ask multiple questions here but want to include that if it helps diagnose what the issue is.
Thank you for any help!
Hi!
I have made a forum on my WordPress website. Someone tried to register but he got this error:
Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn’t understand how to supply the credentials required.
To test it, I have used an old mailaddress and everything worked just fine. Is it his computer which is causing the trouble or is it something else?
I’m running a local host with xampp and getting this error when trying to run a test forum. I have done all the forum repairs and still have the same issue.
Can anyone explain on what line exactly this function code should be applied and how it should look. Screen shot perhaps? I have no experience in php but doing everything I can to learn as much as possible.
This issue is now finally resolved. After a long battle, the web host came back to me to ask me to put the following code into .htaccess:
FileETag None
Header unset ETag
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
Header set Pragma "no-cache"
Header set Expires "Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT"
They said the following: This should prevent my website from being cached by Apache and may help to solve this issue. The website is not currently sitting behind their caching
server so this cannot be the cause of the issue but Apache itself can cache
sites so perhaps this will help to resolve the issue.
This may help others having similar problems.
Last but not least, my heartfelt thanks to @robkk and @casiepa for their steadfast support without which I would have coped very badly. @robkk tirelessly tested every possible issue under the sun. Huge thanks again to both of them. All in all, everything pointed to a caching problem on the server side.
Yes there is a bug, it is fixed in the latest dev version.
Use this temporary solution to fix the issue for now.
Wrong bbp_get_reply_url() when paging with reverse order
@gperez-tl
Good find on this bug, and thanks for posting your temporary solution. I tried the solution and it works for most of the replies, while I was testing I got some that seemed to not work and it went to the wrong post still.
The error is not only present in the replies created section in your forum profile but also if you click the post id next to a reply (#1234), you might be directed to the wrong reply.
I tried this on the latest dev version of 2.6 and this issue is not present.
You unable to remove it because of some error, or you do not want to remove it??
I cannot really test the optimizepress plugin since it is a premium plugin.
I think this works:
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_position', 'lugpa_get_reply_position', 10, 3);
function lugpa_get_reply_position($reply_position, $reply_id, $topic_id){
if(empty($topic_id))
$topic_id = bbp_get_reply_topic_id ($reply_id);
$numReplies = bbp_get_topic_reply_count($topic_id);
return ($numReplies+1) - $reply_position; // plus one because of thread description
}
I’m not sure about the +1 but it works. I tested this with first and last comment of a given page.
So they were the same…
The only option I see is to really insist with your current provider, sorry for not being able of more help.
For the application caching, a lot of pages exist, like http://www.sitepoint.com/common-pitfalls-avoid-using-html5-application-cache/
BEFORE DOING THE NEXT LINES, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO YOUR FILES ON THE SERVER IN CASE IT GOES WRONG.
Just a test to see if it helps, can you go in your dashboard, ‘Appearance > Editor’, choose on the right the ‘Header’ (header.php) file and when the file opens, find somewhere the <head> tag and copy the following lines just below :
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="max-age=0" />
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="Tue, 01 Jan 1980 1:00:00 GMT" />
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />
If it helps, it could be a workaround for now, but you should not keep this forever.
Keep subscription to this topic. If I find something else, I’ll post it here, but for now I have no clue.

Yes, I copied everything – www folder plus database to the other provider and used the same theme responsive. Not sure what you mean options? I just used everything that was copied over, so the same options must have been set. I’ll delete the test topics and the login.
My provider doesn’t understand what I am talking about, so I am having a hard time to convince them that there is something wrong – so far I have not succeeded because they keep saying that they can create topics in some forums and some they can’t. I keep explaining to them that it depends on which page they saw before logging in. I am really desperate.
What would be the meaning of āapplicationcacheā?
Also, everything is normal on my local computer in xampp – I use exactly the same what I have on the live site.
Hi mica123,
I logged-in, played around and got indeed the same effect like you described.
I check your installation configuration and it seems all normal.
Can you confirm that when you tested it on the other provider, you had the same theme (responsive) installed there ? And the same options set ? Because I see in some javascript that the theme is talking about ‘applicationcache’.
Please delete the test topics/replies and the login you created for me.
Pascal.
(I am not sure how to turn off the theme to test this fault with a bundled theme like Twenty Twelveā¦
Go to Appearance > THemes and activate a theme like twenty twelve temporarily.
Also I think some other user has had the exact same issue with PMP Pro, I wonder if using the plugin could cause an issue.
I will test to see if it is causing the issue.
@robkk
I did more network testing on my bad site via the web developer.
All other pages display the following:
Response header:
main site url:
Cache Control: max-age=3600
bbpress:
Cache-control:max-age=2592000
Request headers:
main site url:
Cache-control: max-age=0
bbpress:
Cache-control:max-age=0
After login:
After login:
wp.login:
Cache-control:no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0
Without refreshing the page
bbpress:
Cache-control: max-age=2592000 –
On refreshing the page
bbpress:
max-age=2592000
The information for bbpress does not change at all.
This is different from the results gleaned from my good site as I reported earlier:
bbpress
cache control: max-age=2592000, public, proxy-revalidate, public, proxy-revalidate, must-revalidate
Cache control: max-age=0
After login:
Response header:
Cache control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0
So would this indicate that all is not well on my webhost provider’s server
regarding cache even if they say that it is not enabled?
I did a bit more testing and found that when logged in as admin, the search works exactly as expected, but if I am logged in as a regular member, the search does behave differently.
I have a forum called Jazz Lovers
with a topic with jazz in the content.
If I search the forum as admin, results for forum titles show up as well as results matching topic content and titles. However, if I am logged in as a normal user, I cannot receive results for forum titles.
