Hello @casiepa, @robkk

I did more testing, this time I looked at response headers following instructions from this article. I am not sure if this is the right course of action but if you could bear with me could you perhaps have a look at the results below? The first part is from my good site and the second part is from the problematic site:

My good site results:
Response headers:
cache control: max-age=0
Request headers:
cache control: “max-age=0”

bbpress
Response headers:
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

My bad site results:
Response headers:
Cache control: max-age=3600
Request header:
Cache control: max-age=0

bbpress:
Response headers:
Cache control: max-age=2592000
Request header:
Cache control: max-age=0

After successful login response header says:
Cache control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0

However, clicking on page that was viewed before login,
response header says:
Cache control: max-age=3600

Thank you for trying to help Robkk.

Where do I add those lines of code? I assume you want me to edit one of the PHP files (click “Edit” for bbPress plugin). I just tried adding it to “bbpress/bbpress.php” (since its the first php file that comes up) at the end of the file. I received a “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘-‘, expecting ‘(‘ in /var/www/vhosts/laysofalthas.com/epochgames/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbpress.php on line 933”. There’s a bunch of other php files, and I have no idea where I’m supposed to put that code snippet (novice here), so I’m just going to delete that code and wait for further instructions.

I don’t know what “multisite” is. Looking through the plugin list, I see several (Multisite Toolbar Additions, Multisite Global Search, etc). Would you recommend I add one of them? Can you give me the specific name of one?

Alright, so how can I fix it so “yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-login.php” leads to “yoursite.com/wp-login.php” instead?

Yes, your deleteme user does appear in the Users list.

Alright, so I assume you’re talking about Peter’s Login Redirect plugin, and I assume I’ll need to edit the settings under Settings -> Login/logout redirects, correct? I have now set the “administrator” role to go to the URL “yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-admin/” and it works perfectly, so thank you. I have also set it so Subscribers are redirected to “http://epochgames.co.uk/forums/forum/test/” when they login. I created a test Subscriber user, which in fact is redirected upon logging in, but isn’t logged in (of course that code you recommended still needs added in). Can’t say I’m overjoyed that I have to change the URL to the forums every time I want to login as an administrator account, but at least I can get to the Dashboard now without having to memorize the URL.

Again thank you for trying to help Robkk, but I would definitely like it if you could be a bit more descriptive in what I need to do to fix this login problem. I am very much a novice still with WordPress.

[Robkk]

This fixes the list issue.

#bbpress-forums li {
    list-style: none !important;
}

I created a user called “deleteme” and I see the issue you are talking about.

Do you have multisite enabled or at least a subsite for testing.

the wp-login.php page leads to yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-login.php instead of just yoursite.com/wp-login.php.

Check it out right now to see if I am even a user to just the yoursite.com site. If I am see that I am even have a forum role like participant.

The redirect to the home page is because of some piece of code in bbPress for the frontend login forms. You can easily fix this by setting it where Admins can go the Admin and other users redirect to the home page using the plugin you have already installed.

I have a small problem. I want to show the most popular topcis on my home page, but now I am running for a while and this feature is kinda killing my SEO performance. This is because there is one topic fairly popular on my forum and has been for over a few months now and because this is represented on the home page Google has picked up on it and this topic is showing up in most of my test search results.

Now I still want to have this feature, but make it a bit more fair for the other topcis and show the most popular topcis that has stated in the previous few days (lets say 30). Is there a shortcode/feature or function that could achieve this?

Hello bbPress Users,

Recently I’ve been wanting to create a bbPress forum on my WordPress website. I was able to successfully install the plugin through WordPress, create a new forum, set Settings, etc …

However, I simply cannot login to the new forum I’ve created (The forum looks awful right now, but I’ll worry about that until AFTER its functional): http://epochgames.co.uk/forums/forum/test/

Try yourself to register (which I’ve had no problem with: I receive the registration email, and have seen my account appear in WordPress Dashboard settings related to Users), but then try logging in … when I try logging in, I’m taken back to the same page, with the same login box, and unable to post. And yes, there is a thread there, but I was only able to post it after checking “Allowing guests to post” in Settings, which I’ve since disabled.

I even downloaded Peter’s Login Redirect plugin, and tested my forum account to redirect to a different page on the domain after login … and it does redirect, but I’m still not logged in! Really weird, right?

Also I’ve noticed that when trying to login to WordPress via the wp-login.php page redirects me to the main page, instead of the Dashboard. Thankfully, I am logged into it and can access the Dashboard, just need to use the Dashboard URL. When I disable the bbPress plugin, the WordPress login properly redirects to the DashBoard.

Any ideas what could be wrong? I am definitely a WordPress Newbie, so it could be something simple, but I’ve not found a topic in this problem with this same problem, I’ve skimmed through the FAQ and found nothing about this … any help would be great.

Site: http://www.levelupsolutionscenter.com
Theme: ZippyCourses by Social Trigger
Wordpress: Latest release
bbforums: 2.5.8 (Latest)

I have installed the plugin for bbforums. No issues setting it up. I have created a post that I want to remain at the top of the forum. It is titled, Getting Started. I made it ‘sticky’ believing that this would allow it to be there at the top regardless of what others put in the forum.

When I go in to test as a user who has purchased a course, the user can get to the forum but cannot see the sticky post content. Just the listing in the forum. I set access to participant and open, with automatic membership.

I read your documentation and created a forum registration page and put in your shortcode.

Do users need to register with the forum first to see the content of a post?
If they do and I have the registration page, I can put it in the menu. Is that what I need to do to get registration to people? Is there anything special I need to know to make registration go through and access be granted? Special in setting up the access page?

Question really is: how does a user of the educational material get to see the forum questions/posts?

Thank you!

[mica123]

Yes, I am testing this as myself, and two different users (one as editor, moderator and the other one just as participant). The same thing. I’ve tested this on both laptop and netbook at home in FireFox, Chrome, IE and Safari – all the same.
I have to point out that I get this on the live site but not on the site I have on my local computer – it is the same setup which I tested before I set it up on the live site as well.

[mica123]

Just to let you know that I was testing it all day. I removed Robkk’s redirect code to see if there would be the same problem with Peter’s Redirect plugin and it is the same. So I am at my wits’ end.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi Barbara,

First principle: test before going live !

I have my own procedure on cleaning bbPress in case of failure, but let me check if there is an official one. @Robkk any ideas ?

Pascal.

[barbarabax]

Hello Pascal, i didn’t test locally so is live environment. BBpress 2.5.8 and wordpress 4.3.1
We are talking about 2079 discussion with 17.000 replies
Thanks

[Pascal Casier]

Hi Barbara,

Is this a life system ? Did it work correctly in your test environment ?
What version of bbPress and WordPress are you using ?
How many lines are you talking about ?

Pascal.

[mica123]

I don’t think this is the local caching problem because I tested it on both my laptop and netbook at home. I don’t have this problem when I test it on my site which I set up locally on my computer in xampp. This happens only on the live site.
I don’t think this is related to your redirect code. So this is a huge unexpected setback – what a shame! It doesn’t seem there is an easy solution and that I have to battle it out with the webhost provider who may not be knowledgeable about this at all.

[laberkopp]

Thanks @robkk I may come back to your suggestion.

@all
I just tested the solution from @robin-w where @cassiepa pointed me to and this works very nicely for me. It is already active and seems not to influence other parts of my site. You can try if you like (link in first post 🙂

What I like on that solution, is that I just need to add two files and do not need to edit and replace an existing file.

Let’s see what will happen when I need to update the theme (if subfolder and files keep untouched, I mean).

But for now I am yery happy. This was easier than I’ve feared 🙂

Thanks a lot to all of you! I love communities 🙂
Best wishes,
Sascha

[mica123]

Actually,I may be getting somewhere. When I log in as admin, it gets me to the backend, then I type the address mysite.com/forums – then I see that I am not logged in. However, when I type in: mysite.com/forums/community – then I am logged in on that page.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the redirect I have in functions:

function rkk_login_redirect($redirect_to, $request, $user) {
    return (is_array($user->roles) && in_array('administrator', $user->roles)) ? admin_url() : site_url('/forums/');
} 
add_filter('login_redirect', 'rkk_login_redirect', 10, 3);

You can see that discussion I had with @robkk here

I’ll do more testing tomorrow.

[mica123]

No, I am not in an enterprise environment. I am at home and I am testing the bbpress on the live site. I log in as admin or another user as moderator or another user as participant. It is the same. As it is now close to midnight, I’ll continue testing tomorrow and report back. I wonder if WordPress needs flushing its cache or something – never did it before. Just a thought.

How can I prevent “nofollow” from being added to my internal links on bbPress posts? (I have the latest version of bbPress and WordPress)

The “nofollow” attribute is being added to my internal links on my website (DCJTech.info). However, this issue only occurs on bbPress posts, but not WordPress pages. Here is an example of the problem (bbPress post) – http://dcjtech.info/topic/general-unixoid-topics/

I have tried commenting out the below lines from ./includes/core/filters.php, but without success. I also cleared the cache (server and browser) and waited a minute before checking the page’s source code.

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow',   50   );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow',   50   );

I used ‘grep -r -e “follow” ./plugins‘ to find all code that may be inserting “nofollow”, and I also searched my theme and mu-plugins. In addition, I searched my SQL database (via phpMyAdmin) for “follow”. I did not find any plugin, setting, etc. that could be causing this problem. There were no “nofollow” attributes in the posts either. I also searched my plugins for “bbp_rel_nofollow”.

I disabled “External Links” and commented out the previously mentioned bbPress code (and cleared the cache), but the “nofollow” attribute was still on my internal links.

I thoroughly checked the WordPress codex website, forums (like https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/turning-no-follow-links-to-do-follow/ ), etc., but I cannot find a solution or cause.

Guten Abend laberkopp,

@robin-w

I checked your profile picture and I think I have seen you before 🙂

bbPress profiles are open by default to all, so also users that are not logged in could see your profile. I know Robin has made a quick patch for a previous version (http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-making-profile-pages-private/) but I’m not sure if it’s still valid for the current version.

Some other (untested!) snippets can be found here: http://seventhqueen.com/blog/code-snippets/restrict-guest-users-from-accessing-buddypress-or-bbpress-pages.html

Regards, Pascal.

[nhanco]

I not test with any role yet. But i’m just install bbpress plugin.

[Robkk]

Have you been testing with any custom role and capability plugins?

[Robkk]

Sorry guys was probably tired or something, I should have led you guys to this explaining how to deactivate plugins when you cannot get into the admin panel.

https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F

And @bdsand I should have led you to this for the blank screen, but I am glad you fixed it.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Common_WordPress_Errors#The_White_Screen_of_Death

As for this issue, bbPress shouldn’t behave like this during deactivation of bbPress.

See if some of the steps from here can help you.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Login_Trouble

I am guessing you guys are both getting the same error notice like this.

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page

• You may also want to see what is the url after you get the permission error, see if there is an extra query in the url like ?restricted or something.
• Check in a different browser to see if you get the same issue.
• Check in a different user with a different user role(make sure you create a test user before deactivating bbPress)

You guys can also test out your themes and plugins in a local test site/test server on your computer to see if you can duplicate the issue there.

Creating a Test Site

Hi,

First of all, don’t mix the goals of the plugins. Your initial question is about wp-login, so Wangguard and TML are dealing with that.
If you deviate on Antispam Bee and Akismet, then you more talk about checking what is posted, not the posters.

Wangguard is free and SHOULD remain free for small non-profit organizations. See FAQ (https://www.wangguard.com/faq) WangGuard is free during these first months after our launch around the world. Later it will continue to be free for all users with personal blogs that do not exceed 200€ per month in revenue or 6,000 requests per month.

I did not see a specific support question that indicated that Antispam Bee did not work with bbpress, but I never tested.

Pascal.

[sbskamey]

Hi, yes, the forum index is using a shortcode.

I have also done a full reset using the Forum Tools.

I think I have found the issue. Everything works fine, and everything updates fine, but as soon as I activate the bbP username Plugin, the Forum index doesn’t update with the latest Username (the avatar still updates fine).

The Username that it gets replaced by is the Admins. But what’s strange is that, the Admins username still links to the new usernames profile. So basically, it’s just the text that’s not updating.

It’s only when a user creates a New Topic. If a user Replies to a Topic, the Username and Avatar update fine.

[bbp-topic-index] shortcode also updates fine with Username and Avatar

Do you have any idea of what could be causing this?

Thanks again!
Kam

[avantsi]

As much as I tested it, it worked well, but I contacted plugin’s author and he said that there might still be some issues with it and that he will create a plugin/fix for bbPress in near future.

[Robkk]

@jrunfitpro

Sorry for the late reply.

Since you said it is not a plugin issue causing it and you have done other troubleshooting to see if a code snippet in a theme could be causing it, create a test user, just a participant/subscriber user, then you can deactivate bbPress so I can see the issue you are getting. Contact me through email so that you do not need to post login details on the forum.

Contact

@bdsand

If you have already done some troubleshooting and have not found an issue, you can let me test to see what could be causing the issue too.

[Robkk]

Could be an issue with theme compatibility in bbPress. To get around that make a bbpress.php file in your theme.

Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template

You can see what WordPress conditionals affect what bbPress pages by using the test that is explain in this ticket from the user. Or you can check the theme compat file in bbPress.
