[Prometheus Fire]

There were a few people who were reporting 404 errors for some logged in users, myself included, in the announcement thread here http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-2-3-released/

Instead of clogging up that thread with that problem, I’m starting a new one. To summarize, admins can access the forums, but some logged in users cannot. On my site I’ve been getting reports daily that some members cannot access the forums. I have two testing account on my site, one can access and another, newly created cannot. It receives the 404 error.

Logged out users can load all the forums with no problem, as can admins. Resetting permalinks doesn’t fix it, and neither does re-installing the plugin. I even went so far as to delete all the _bbp_ options from the wp-options table of the database and that didn’t help either.

I also downgraded to 2.2.2 and that didn’t fix it, so I don’t think the issue is with the latest version, but something else that may have introduced with the new user roles (which I think came in with 2.2), but I only recently started having the issue with version 2.2.3.

One user has rebuilt his database and beat the problem, this may work for some, but I’m not in a position to do that since I’m running mine on multisite and my database is over 2gb with thousands of tables. For me to do that for this when everything else is working fine is a major job.

Any one having this issue should post in this thread and hopefully we can find the problem and solution. As it stands right now for me, about a third of my users are getting the error.

I can report that I’m experiencing the same issue that TranThe is experiencing. Many users, once they get logged in are getting 404 errors.

I can’t seem to figure it out. It does not seem to be entirely user role related and doesn’t seem to effect all the users, but I have a number of users and a testing account that get a 404 error.

I see TranThe’s fix above, but that seems pretty drastic, I’m not in a position to re-install WordPress and rebuild the database yet because of this. I’m running BBpress on the mainsite of a multisite install that hosts nearly 100 websites. His fix is great for a single site, but for me that’s a major operation, my database is huge.

I am running the latest WordPress and bbPress. Few days back everything was ok. But somehow I am noticing that when making new replies, it’s not showing up in frontend single topic display. It’s showing up after few hours I guess. But it’s normally showing in admin area. There is no caching plugin installed.

Some weird behaviour:
1. The reply count is showing on topic list page. But not showing on single topic.

2. Showing on widget, but their order is not right.

Not sure whats coming wrong.

I am currently looking for feedback on the vBulletin importer and this issue has been raised previously in our bug tracking #1991.

At the moment I am working on updating all the forum importers for the next major release of bbPress and waiting and seeking feedback from more users as this still appears broken for some and not others but as I don’t have access to vBulletin myself I cannot test this directly myself, let alone the different versions etc

I would be more than happy to take a look at this for you and make any fixes as needed.

Drop me an email to stephen@netweb.com.au and we can discuss it further.

I would like to add that it the Ultimate TinyMCE editor works well with wordpress posts…It just doesn’t work with bbpress anymore (after last update).

[AllenPayne]

@John James Jacoby

Ultimate TinyMCE buttons show up now after using your code but they don’t work.

I just created a new bbpress post and used the Ultimate TinyMCE’s buttons to make some text bold, change the font size, color, underline, etc.. and when i submitted the post only the bold text remained unchanged. All my other formatting (font size, color, underline) was not preserved and was lost after submission.

Please help.

Group forum creation behavior confirmed on /trunk, and it may be related to why your imported forums are not showing up on their respective group pages. bbPress created the forum and assigned it the group_id metadata but did not check off the “enable_forum” column in the wp_bp_groups table on my test group setup. When I went back and checked “Yes. I want this group to have a forum.” in Group > Admin > Forum, it showed up and “enable_forum” flipped to true.

If you have access to phpMyAdmin, can you check your wp_bp_groups table and see if the “enable_forum” column is full of 0s or 1s? If you can’t, that’s okay, too. Don’t break stuff. 🙂

[TranThe]

I also have the same problem on page 404
When logging with bbPress highest account works very well
When not logged into the system everything works very well also
However, when logging in with your member account, 404 occurred with every link of bbPress

This is my website: http://moiluc.com/ wp: v3.5
This is my forum: http://moiluc.com/hangouts bbppress: v: 2.2.3
I use buddypress but only use the x-profile feature: buddypres v1.6.2

You can test error with acc: ngoctrinh pass: s1234567
Any help is really great!

I just tested this and I can confirm that creating a Private and Public group and attaching a forum to that group works! But there is one issue.. When you go through the Group Creation wizard and check ” Yes. I want this group to have a forum.” and finish creating the group, the forum is NOT added. So you have to go into the Group Admin > Forums and enable the  “Yes. I want this group to have a forum.” checkbox again. Then it does work. Example: http://www.youthpolicy.org/community/groups/testing-forums-bbpress-2/forum/topic/testin-topic/#post-2667

Thanks for the help so far 🙂

[Jennifer M. Dodd]

For testing purposes:

What happens if you create a new Private group with a forum? Does that forum have a parent of “Group Forums” and show up in the group forums list? Does the group display a Forums tab on its group page? Is the forum accessible from the group’s Forums tab?
What happens if you create a new Public group with a forum? See above questions.

Hello,

absolutely happy about the integration of bbPress 2 into BuddyPress groups I tested this out today. BuddyPress was already installed with group forums on, but not used yet. Installed bbPress completely fresh.
WP 3.5 multisite, bbPress 2.2.3, BuddyPress 1.7-bleeding-#6628, using bp-default theme.
I followed these steps: http://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/
and this guide: http://labzip.com/the-definitive-guide-to-buddypress-bbpress-configuration/

Result: I can create everything vom backend: Forums, topics, replies.
I can add topics in frontend to sitewide forums.
But I cannot create topics to a group forum, also in new groups from frontend – only from backend.
I found the bug here that Forum tab doesn’t show up at group creation. I don’t know if that matters – if I turn group forum on after creation in admin panel, the tab is there, with all forum empty messages and new topic form. And these group forums show up in the backend forums view under group forums, so the hierarchy is correct.

Sure this is a test / dev install, no live site. And there’s no hurry, but I’d like to test more out with your plugin 🙂
Is there something I did wrong until here? Or I could try?

thanks, Fee

I never had an issue with updating wordpress to 3.5 or updating bbPress so I would guess that it might be a plugin conflict, but I am not sure.

Have you tested deactivating certain plugins?

[johnjack]

wordpress –> 3.5

link to test site http://johnjack.co.uk/?forum=new-forum

Please help!!

[evomedia]

Hi i just insalled bbpress to test it but i cant figure out whats wrong i just get a blank page

This is what ive dona so far: I installed the plugin–> created a forum–> created a page which i named forum–> entered the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]–> When i go to the front i see the page click it and up comes the forum i created when i then click the forum and i get the blank page…–> in the adressfield it says http://www.kanin.se/forums/forum/theforumicreated and the page i blank.

I have the latest wordpress and bbpress

feeling stupid for not seeing the possibly easy solution.

I have searched this forum and the webb even watched a 30 min video on the setup of bbpress didnt get any smarter.

Thanks for your help!

[Stephen Edgar]

Update to the latest bbPress 2.2.3 and repeat step 7 in the guide at BuddyPress you linked to above.

[Anonymous User]

Hi John,

in my situation is the correct version not the problem.
The original forum is on version 1.1 since months. And updated to 1.2 yesterday.
It’s an old forum (since 2002) – migrated to bbPress 0.9 and then 1.0 -> 1.1.
Since May 2011 the forum was deactivated – after some problems with an user. 🙁

Hmmm… I think the problem may lie in the fact that the forum has a lot of anonymous posters. In 0.9 there was an plugin for anonymous posters with meta data. But in version >0.9 these posts were all anonoymous posts without an user.

I’ll test the convertion on a blank installation of WordPress 3.5 today (without any other plugins). And the i’ll report again.

By the way. JJJ – carry on with your great work on bbPress. 🙂

[bruceleebee]

Hello,

I am using skematiktheme.com wordpress theme, which is also styled for buddypress. I also have the lastest version of buddypress, bbpress, and wordpress installed.

Not sure if I should be asking this in the buddypress forum or not, because most of the changes are related to bbpress forums which are integrated with buddypress.

I want to change the font size. In general I just need to change the font size for the text in the body of posts, but it would be good if I could bump everything up by 4px. How do I change that?

Can someone help me by explaining it in simple step-by-step language?

For example: go here, then type this code here, and then change this, etc….

Thanks,
Ben

Is there a way to do this so I have the basic rules when I originally installed the site? I’m using the latest versions of both WP and BP.

[dFactory]

Hi,

I saw somwhere a topic about Forums, Topics and Replies somwhere in the forum and want to confirm that it exists even in just releases 2.2.3. In admin and on frontend bbpess post types labels don’t get translated (tested on 2 different sites, translated in 2 different tools, my language uses extended latin chars).

Another issue is with the User profile rules (permalinks, line 873 in bbpress.php). It’s possible to filter rewrite rules for user favorites and subscriptions but topics and replies (and it’s pagination) are hardcoded, even if there are functions available to use instead (and filter if needed)

[mamasaywhat]

Howdy,

I see there’s a gentleman below with this same issue:

When I use firefox, click on a username to view their profile – the topics created and replies don’t show up in the profile…just a blank page (though it does show an accurate count of posts and replies).

Any thoughts? Any ideas how to solve this? I can’t very well just tell people that this feature just plain won’t work on firefox….

Website is: http://testing.mamasaywhat.com
Example URL: http://testing.mamasaywhat.com/users/katedorsey/topics/

thanks much!
Kate

Is ckeditor compatible with the latest version of BBpress?

Thanks!

I need to prevent users from being able to see the forum unless they are logged in. The trick is, the login form needs to authenticate against an external database that is contained in one of our servers (not WP or BBPress).

I’m trying to figure out the smartest way to do this. I thought of just creating a regular PHP login, but I’m not sure exactly how to restrict the forum this way. Right now I have all of my forums set to “private” which pretty much does the restriction for you.

It’s a bit complicated but any suggestions would be awesome.

[dwbroad]

Number of topics listed for each forum on my /forums page is not matching the number of topics in the forum!

It’s a recently installation so I only have 3 topics. and it’s saying there are 2…

I’m using the latest versions of wordpress and bbpress

Thanks!

It might be worth your while to view our latest (updated) video guide for configuring BuddyPress & bbPress, as it goes into some of the differences and features that have arrived with 2.2.2 and BuddyPress 1.6.1
