Great response form S2member team !

I’m just a humble user not a dev, but hopefully netweb or JJJ will be in contact with the S2 guys.

For those that have been bitten by this, I know how painful it is, in the early days I just upgraded plugins and wordpress in the belief that they would work until one day my site broke, and I was in panic for 8 hours when I had least time to fix it.

When WordPress announced auto upgrade, I was very suspicious that anyone could release software confident that it would not screw up any of the several thousand plugins based on how it worked!

So the following for those bitten, and others who do not want to be bitten going forward !

If you are not happy for your site to be down for 24+ hours then :

1. Turn off wordpress auto update !
2. Create a test site https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
yes that takes time, but the comfort of not doing stuff live is fantastic !
3. Don’t do upgrades of wordpress/plugins for the first week (UNLESS they are deemed critical), let others find the faults – yes I know that is bad to say, and if no one upgraded we’d never make progress, and I write plugins that I need people to upgrade to, etc. etc., but many people’s site’s aren’t critical, and if your is, don’t be leading the charge !
4. Check the support forum for the upgrade
for wordpress https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting
or your plugins support page
you’ll soon find out if there are issues
5. Upgrade your test site first, the spend some time checking all the critical bits
6. When you’re happy that your test site works, then make the move in live

I really feel for those who have been sent into panic, but maybe the above will help for next time

@rafaeldejongh I think you need to create a test site :

This will let you work out what’s woring in comfort !

@jwhammond20 Sorry but unable to replicate further issues, the fixes above although not deeply tested and the root cause still not really grasped I can see all lead posts in a thread and their replies whether thread is normal or sticky – however you did state you were not using S2 member this workaround is / can only be tested against S2 from my end. I suspect the root cause is slightly deeper and my workaround is just that not a resolution.

[pazzaglia]

I’m having the same problem since upgrading BUT I don’t have s2Member AND I have the search option disabled.

I had the following bbpress-affecting plug-ins enabled (all latest versions):
-bbPress Custom Topic & Reply Notifications 1.4
-bbPress Moderation 1.8.3
-bbPress Stay Checked 1.0
-GD bbPress Attachments 2.1

Also, I had a custom Topic Page.

I disabled all of the bbs-affecting plug-ins and removed the custom page from my child theme but the topic still won’t show up!!!

So, I re-installed bbpress.

Nada.

I’m going to try the suggested php fix and if that doesn’t work will down-grade until there is a solution!

Ciao,

Per the reply @jaswsinc made on the first page, S2Member have created an issue to track this, so subscribe to that issue on GitHub and if you can help them track down the issue with testing, feedback, or reproduction steps to recreate the issue no doubt that will help get things fixed sooner 🙂

Hi.

I am using S2.
I am not using either of those plug ins.

Here is a forum post that illustrates the issue:

http://www.thewargameswebsite.com/forums/topic/missing-posts/

All pre and post WP4.0 first posts in topics are missing, we have implemented a temporary fix but the problem clearly lies in whatever the update has done.
It is noted that turning S2 off will solve the problem, this is not an option for us.
That suggests to me that S2 does not work with the latest version of Wpress.

Desperately need help as this will be affecting my income..

🙁

Using with 4.0 and theme 2012 and bb 2.5.4.

This latest version 254 caused the recent replies widget to not display, and cause any subsequent widgets to not display as well.

[Kona Macphee]

Yes, I have the same problem as Tyler with Relevanssi (including the latest version), and I’m not running Search Exclude.

[ccardin]

Hi,

I’m using WP 4.0, latest update on BBPRESS.

Nouvelle intéressante !

FOR ALL FORUM

Hey there everyone,

I’ve just registered to post this problem I’m currently experiencing which happens with the latest update of WordPress.

The boards all work however the threads and the post in the frontend are all gone, they’re actually still present in the backend of the wp-admin but on the actual site they can’t be seen anymore.

This only happened after the latest wordpress 4.0 update so I’m sure it has something to do with that.

Here is a link to my website: http://sg-carterpack.com/forum/

Thanks in advance for anyone who can assist me with fixing this as I sadly did not make a backup and the forum is our sites main focus so it’s really important for me to get this fixed asap!

MODERATOR EDIT: Here is a copy of your content from your other post below

I’ve already seen a couple threads but without much avail, I’m not running any plugins mentioned in that thread yet I still experience the problem after updating to WordPress 4.0

I’ve already reverted my wordpress installation as I can’t really put the forum out for more than a day, I’m running the following plugins on my site:

Adminimize
AdSense Click-Fraud Monitoring Plugin
amr shortcode any widget
BAW Login/Logout menu
bbPress
bbPress Custom CSS File
BulletProof Security
GD bbPress Tools
Google Adsense Dashboard
Google Analytics Dashboard for WP
Inactive User Deleter
Limit Login Attempts
Theme My Login
WP User Avatar

Does anyone know what plugin could be causing the problem if this isn’t a problem with BBpress?

[CanOaBG]

Thank you , will test this.

[donalyza]

I was trying to follow the step by step guide to bbpress forum – part 3

I copied the the function below and add it on line 9 of loop-single-forum.php file.

function remove_counts() {
$args['show_topic_count'] = false;
$args['show_reply_count'] = false;
$args['count_sep'] = '';
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'remove_counts' );

Then I ran my forum site and got this error.. I’m doing this locally to test.

“Fatal error: Cannot redeclare remove_counts() (previously declared in C:\wamp\www\wp\wp-content\themes\twentytwelve-child\bbpress\loop-single-forum.php:9) in C:\wamp\www\wp\wp-content\themes\twentytwelve-child\bbpress\loop-single-forum.php on line 14“

ok i havent really messed with breadcrumbs that much i usually remove them but there suppose to show home > forums > forums i think from what i just tested on my localhost.

since it shows the root anyway if you are already on the forum archive.

but i did end up removing one of the forums link this weird way

ok i dont know for sure what i did because i was basically just fiddling around so here are all of what i did

i had this in my functions php in my own thematic child theme.

function mycustom_breadcrumb_options() {
    // Home - default = true
    $args['include_home']    = false;
    // Forum root - default = true
    $args['include_root']    = true;
    // Current - default = true
    $args['include_current'] = true;
 
    return $args;
}
 
add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'mycustom_breadcrumb_options');

add_filter( 'bbp_get_breadcrumb', 'change_breadcrumb_text' );

Function change_breadcrumb_text ($trail) {
$trail = str_replace ('No Labels Community Forum','N L C F',$trail) ;
return $trail ;
}

then i removed the add_filter line for the mycustom_breadcrumb function
so i have this now.

function mycustom_breadcrumb_options() {
    // Home - default = true
    $args['include_home']    = false;
    // Forum root - default = true
    $args['include_root']    = true;
    // Current - default = true
    $args['include_current'] = true;
 
    return $args;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_breadcrumb', 'change_breadcrumb_text' );

Function change_breadcrumb_text ($trail) {
$trail = str_replace ('No Labels Community Forum','N L C F',$trail) ;
return $trail ;
}

this removed one of the NLCF links in the breadcrumbs.

i even removed the my custom breadcrumbs function and its still only shows one NLCF link…

its weird :/

I have bbPress installed and the register screens set up and displaying correctly. I have WP SMTP installed and pointing to my hostmonster mail server. It tests fine. When a new member registers I get a notification that a new user has registered and I know this is going through the SMTP server because of the headers in the email. The password email is not being received. I don’t believe the password is actually being sent for reasons I don’t understand. I have the latest versions of WordPress and bbPress. I think it is a bbPress problem not a SMTP problem.

Hi,

Thank you for your response

I can see lots of ‘?’ – is this your issue??

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.

come back with the results !

[coskel22]

I have the forum settings to 15/topic, and 25/replies.

The forum isn’t live yet, and I had testers take it over the limits, and bbpress won’t create new pages, it just dumps everything into one long scrolling page.

This is a brand-new installation of vers. 2.5.4 on WP 3.9.2

any suggestions?

[ingenuity]

Robin W, Thank you for the ideas. This is the first time I’ve used bbPress, so I have nothing to compare it with. I tried your idea of deactivating all other themes and that did not change the Forum problem. I am currently unable to test deactivating the theme because the site owner just paid Facebook to boost a post that would drive visitors to our site. So it’s a bad time to put the site in maintenance mode, even briefly. Hope that will change in the next day or so. I am using HeadwayThemes and I have posted in the forum there. I found a conversation on http://support.headwaythemes.com/discussion/comment/166604#Comment_166604 about a problem between HeadwayThemes and the bbPress search function, but saw nothing like the problem I have with the replies appearing above the posts.

In the HeadwayTheme, the forum is appearing in the content block. The content block let’s me do custom query filters. In the query filters settings, I’ve told it to include the post type forums. And I’ve tried both ascending/descending order. Nothing puts the replies BELOW the topics.

[foreverlearning]

We just created a new forum at http://sovereignduty.com and all has been going ok until a user reported that a new topic she was trying to create was not working. I created myself a test participant account and tried to create the same topic she was using the same text and experienced the same issue. The topic is not created. I took her text, copied it into notepad and pasted it in to the new forum topic. There was one link that I created but no other html besides that. Any suggestions on where I should be looking, or doing to correct this?
Thank you in advance
Dan

Has this just started happening?

I suspect it is your theme, but carry out the tests above, and then come back !

[ingenuity]

Why are the replies showing above the topic and how can I get topic above replies?

It appears that the time stamp on the replies (being newer than teh topic) are showing up above the topic.

Please see test on http://changeaustin.org/forums/topic/test-topic/#post-2886

The site is using WordPress 3.9.2, bbPress 2.5.4. HeadwayThemes 3.7.8

[Minoumimi Senpai]

sorry to post this here but my i cannot create topics or anything on the site..

i have been messing with this all day and getting quite aggrevated
my members cannot edit they’re topics or replies or forums if i allowed it which i dont
And they cannot create a topic from the Dashboard menu bar at the top
so the topics they are allowed to use looks totally horrible and does not have all my wordpress options, well i think it uses the normal wordpress replies maybe i would need to change that?

If they could Edit they could use the proper Tools after but..
Unless i set Edit_others_posts there is absolutely nothing i can do to allow them to edit
it always says you do not have the proper rights
and of course i DO NOT want them to be allowed to edit other peoples posts…

How could i make it so that they can edit they’re own posts only
and that they could post a Topic Directly from the Dashboard bar at the top of page to be able to have the proper tools instead of using post topic like a reply
I did reset all users to default Role since i saw it mentioned often and it didnt help
Only if id set it to moderator they could edit theyre own posts
but they can delete everything from everyone

i am using latest WordPress and latest bbpress with twenty fourteen theme and i have no plugins that would conflict

Login widget login button size on sidebar
Wordpress: 3.9.2
bbPress: Version 2.5.4

Hello bbpress forums. I have been trying to accomplish a custom css change on my website. I installed bbpress, customized it a bit and added some forums. I added the widget on the right sidebar of my website. I then went to test it out a bit and noticed the login button being extremely tiny and hard to see.

When posting a topic of reply I also noticed the submit button was small and hard to see for some people. So I just wanted to make the login button on the sidebar widget a bit larger.

I used firebug and inspected the sidebar probably all day yesterday trying over 20 different custom css changes and had no luck. I tried things like:

============
#sidebar .button {
background-color: ##a0668d;
color: #000000;
float: center;
vertical-align: middle;
border-radius: 10px;
height: 35px;
width: 80px;
font-size: 18px;
}
================
body #sidebar .button {
padding-left: 45px;
!important;}
================
.user-submit {
padding-left: 45px;
!important;}
=================

My firebug skills are not that great but I am working on it. I tried so many other custom css changes to make this login button larger. I can go into firebug and actually change this and the button does change, I just cannot find the custom css to make this change permanent.

body #sidebar .button {
padding-left: 100px;
}

I did make the submit button for posting and replies larger, after finding this useful custom css code in the bbpress styling crib of the bbpress support site.

============================
#bbpress-forums .submit {
background-color: #a0668d;
color: #000000;
float: center;
vertical-align: middle;
border-radius: 10px;
height: 35px;
width: 80px;
font-size: 18px;
!important;}
========================

So that is good I got the submit button larger and more noticeable. If anyone is out there that would be able to assist me in just making this login button a bit larger it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading this

[Nitac]

Cheers for the response and thanks for your time and effort looking into this, much appreciated.

For the test below i set up a hidden forum on my live server.

What happens when you deactivate either/or “Go to first unread” & “Unread posts” plugins you’re using and submit a reply to an affected topic?

• I just went through all the bbpress related plugins and tried different combos and didn’t notice any significant performance differences.

Another test, this time with the ‘Quotes’ plugin disabled submit a reply to an affected topic.

• Using GDPress and had the same results as above

Another, what code and/or plugin are you using to show the user registration in each reply e.g. Join Date: Mar 2009
And another, what code and/or plugin are you using for the counts shown next to the username in each reply e.g Posts: 4529

• Using the function below. Again I disabled and noticed no significant improvement.

function func() {

$roleData = bbp_get_user_role(bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ));

if($roleData=='bbp_moderator'){
        $data='<div class="bbp-author-role">Moderator</div>';
}

$registered = date("M Y", strtotime(get_userdata(bbp_get_reply_author_id())->user_registered));

$post_count = bbp_get_user_reply_count_raw( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id )) ;

$data.='<div class="bbp-reply-ip"><span class="bbp-author-ip">';
$data.='Join Date: '.$registered;
$data.='<br />';
$data.='Posts: '.$post_count;
$data.='</span></div>';
}

Here’s the results for the first query

And the second query

Something I did notice when testing, was that when I was posting in the new topc I created, posts seemed to be submitting relatively quicker, 2 – 5 secs per post. Though when posting in a thread that had a lot more replies the post submission took a lot longer.

I tried the query plugin you suggested and getting relatively good results everything is < 2 secs, but it only shows the performance of the query results, and doesn’t take into account the time it takes to submit, which is > 10 secs. (unless I’m overlooking something??)

Thanks
