Hi all. I am running WP 4.3.1, bbPress 2.5.8 and a custom theme at http://www.skywayacquisition.com. (I am not sure how to turn off the theme to test this fault with a bundled theme like Twenty Twelve…)

My forum is on a membership access site through Paid Memberships Pro.

In my forum, when doing a search in the forum area, the function recognizes that there are results, and says something like “Viewing 3 results – 1 through 3 (of 3 total)” and then shows me the “author” and “search results” headers and footers, but no content in between.

Can anyone help in a way a relative novice can relate?

If need be, and someone can help me understand, I can create an account to allow visibility to the site so you can see the actual situation.

Hi all,

Running WP 4.3.1 and BBPress 2.5.8

The issue: Forum replies appear above forum content in this theme (have tested using vanilla 2015 theme and there’s no problem). The partial solution is to play with CSS.

I’ve got a CSS plugin (Simple Custom CSS) and making changes in there, and I’ve managed to get the reply content to appear in almost the right place using:

ul.forums li {position: relative;}

However, this means the content appears above the bb-reply-header DIV.

Any help appreciated 🙂

Thanks

L.

You need to start seeing if other parts of your site is being cached and it is not just the bbPress portions, if it the bbPress portions make sure to see if it is just you must be logged in notice or other areas like the user’s profile pages to see if it is related to @gperez-tl’s issue.

You may need to create me a test user account so that I can confirm of the issue you are getting, and to also test other areas the cache issue might be present.

[Robkk]

@gperez-tl

The fix will make it into 2.6 or earlier I bet.

Haven’t tested the latest patch but I can assume that the issue could be resolved.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2734

[Robkk]

@gperez-tl

Post the code you are using for the custom howdy message in the toolbar. I do not think this would cause an issue but just double checking.

Do the same thing with the profile menu items code.

Just know that you said these were bbPress’s issue although the menu system and the WordPress toolbar are both part of WordPress. The registered menu and menu location are your theme. I do not know how bbPress could cause an issue with this.

So, (visiting any author’s profile and) clicking on some of these items will show the author’s data, while clicking in others will retrieve current user profile data or something.

Wait so clicking on anyone’s frontend forum profile could show the current users profile for some reason, or is it just the menu links as you stated.

You did not edit the user profile templates heavily? you said you are receiving issues with users profiles.

IF you haven’t already try to track down what is causing the issues you are getting. Since you have a custom theme see if the issue persists in a default theme like twenty twelve, deactivate all plugins but bbPress.

Troubleshooting

Your profile pages shouldn’t just be magically be cached by bbPress.

You may need to create me a test user account so that I can confirm of the issue you are getting, and to also test other areas the cache issue might be present.

[mica123]

I really wouldn’t know how to do this in my case.
All I can say is that I copied all of my WordPress and database to another site to test it there and I have absolutely no problems there. If I don’t get anywhere with my webhost, I’ll probably have to find another webhost – but I don’t really want to go down that route.

[mica123]

Thanks for letting me know. I won’t attempt anything like that.
Yes, reloading the page helps but it is not a solution for users who log in
and then find they are not logged in unless they refresh the page.
I am currently trying to convince my webhost that all is not well –
they don’t seem to understand what I am talking about. Have you tried the
Network tool for Response headers in Web developer on FireFox? It should
show you if the page is really not cached. My test shows that the page
is cached even if my webhost says that no caching is enabled.

[Pascal Casier]

Technically possible as Robkk indicates, ok, but just make sure to keep it under control.
I’m not sure what maximum number of forums has been tested for visualization and handling inside the different shortcodes and functions.

Pascal.

[Robkk]

I just split your reply into a topic so that you can have your own topic about this.

Please do not bump topics, especially topics that are about 8 years old.

If you are using the latest bbPress plugin.

To get the user’s username use

<?php 
  global $current_user;
  get_currentuserinfo();
  echo $current_user->user_login;
?>

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo

You can also just use the WordPress toolbar.

[Robkk]

Where do I add those lines of code?

It is CSS put it in your child themes style.css file, a custom css plugin, or anywhere you can put custom css.

I assume you want me to edit one of the PHP files

No, never edit the plugin core files, unless you are 100% sure you know what you are doing. Since you are a novice, just do not do it.

I don’t know what “multisite” is.

Since you do not know what it is, I am going to assume you do not have it. You do not need it to solve this issue so no need to install any plugins, just curious if you have it. I see it is probably that you have a test enviroment of WordPress because you are planning on migrating to a WordPress/bbPress install from phpBB.

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

Does it have the Participant forum role too?

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?

You seem to be getting that together. Not sure why you are redirecting to the forums especially a specific forum, but yeah you got it.

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).

The code I gave you helped remove the bullet list displaying in your forums.

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

We still have to troubleshoot what is causing the user to not seem to be have access to the forums.

Try some of these troubleshooting steps listed in this guide to see if it could be theme/custom theme related like if you copied the bbPress customizable templates into your child theme and edited them and messed something up on accident, check to see if a plugin could be causing an issue, you can check to see if caching could be an issue by flushing cache from your site, if you edited the bbPress and ever do not remember what you edited you can reinstall a fresh version of the plugin to see if it fixes the issue also.

Troubleshooting

Do not just go deleting cache files from WordPress or code in bbPress.

[Pascal Casier]

Very first version of my plugin uploaded in the WP queue today. Will report here when you can start testing.

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

[names_are_useless]

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/&#8221; 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.

[mvaneijgen]

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?

[names_are_useless]

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.

[trusso]

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
