Hey Guys,

I have the latest WordPress 4.1.2 and bbPress 2.5.7 and I’m having a problem where when I search for a user in the admin of WordPress and try and either bulk edit the user or click on the User Profile link and I get redirected to the home page.

I have narrowed it down to a conflict with the Groups plugin 1.5.1 and I’m wondering if anyone else has found this?

Other points:
– User links work to edit the profile or bulk edit if you DON’T search but we can’t do this as our user db is 1,400 odd people and it takes too long
– I’ve tried changing to the default theme and deactivating all plugins and it still happens
– I have tried installing bbPress 2.5.7 and Groups 1.5.1 on a fresh install of WordPress and got the same results with a user database of 2 people.

It only happens when you search… If I remove the wp_http_referrer information from the User Edit Profile link the link works… There’s some weird conflict going on with the referrer in the link…

Any help greatly appreciated by all!

so…

Just started happening? Has this combination worked before? or is either groups or bbpress new?

[@felicity_gilbertson Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

Yes it’s new with an upgrade of the bbPress and Group plugins… tomorrow I’ll check what the last versions I had were….

I find it so odd that some user searches work and some don’t. When I look at the User Object of a user where their link works from the search page vs one that doesn’t work from the search page there’s nothing I can see that stands out… I should check the bbPress roles on them though perhaps.

I also tried resaving the permalink settings with no joy… any direction you can point me to do some debugging I’d be very greatful… happy for you to take a look too…

suggest you revert one or the other to see which is the issue, or see what Groups responds with to your Q on their site

Hey Robin,

Thanks for your quick response! After alot of debugging and going crazy it seems that Groups and bbPress do in fact get along very well!

The issue was mod_security on the server and the hosts fixed it! So we can mark another one as resolved! Thanks for replying anyway 🙂

Great – glad you’re fixed !
