After updating to bbPress 2.6.10, every single page returns a 404 error.
This only happens for logged-out users. For the users who are logged in, the website works as expected.

Go to Settings > Permalinks, select the default permalinks then save. Now select your preferred permalinks structure. This flushes the rewrite rules and can solve some possible 404 errors.

and if you are using any caching software, clear all your caches

Hello, Robin!

I tried all the steps you mentioned before opening this ticket.
I cleared both the page and object caches and resaved the permalink rules in case this was causing the 404 errors. (although permalink issues would cause problems regardless of the logged-in status)

In addition to the 404 errors, pages containing queries, like the Blog page or post-type archive pages, load as they should, with 200 OK status, but do not display any content. (the queries return null)

Reverting to bbPress 2.6.9 solves the issue.
And as I mentioned, this only happens for anonymous visitors. For administrators and logged-in users the pages work as expected.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

thanks, I’ll take a look, but suggest you remain at 2.6.9 for the moment

[@robin-w Moderator 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

what other bbpress related plugins are you running?

[@oscowordpress1 Participant 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

robin, do you know whats new in the bbpress 2.6.10 update?

There is no changelog…

[@eusebiuoprinoiu Participant 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

I’m not using any other addon for bbPress, but I do have LearnDash and their bbPress integration addon.

bbPress Integration

[@eusebiuoprinoiu Participant 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

I just did a test with the LearnDash integration addon disabled, and it made no difference.
The issue is caused by bbPress.

Hi Eusebiu,
I am facing the same error.
May I know how can I downgrade to 2.6.9? Many thanks.

[@ajtruckle Participant 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

My site is now blown up. Whilst I can see the forum I can’t see ANY pages NOR log in to the site:

I am frustrated with the rest on here.

[@eusebiuoprinoiu Participant 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

You can get older versions from the Advanced page on WordPress.org.
You can find a dropdown with previous versions at the bottom of this page.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/advanced/

Once you download the version you want, upload the ZIP archive under Plugins > Add New.
You will be asked to overwrite the existing plugin. Click Yes, and you are back to normal.

[@eusebiuoprinoiu Participant 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

Chuckie, try logging in using the standard WordPress login page and rollback to the previous version.

[@ajtruckle Participant 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

I have rolled back to the previous version.

[@he110 Participant 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

Hi Eusebiu,
I downgraded bbPress and all resumed.
Thank you.

[@devsg9 Participant 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

Hi,
Blog page, Buddypress and bbpress pages working normal.
404 error coming on Elementor pages for non logged in users of the site.
Logged in users however are able to access all the pages.

I see, some issue with the login system with this bbpress update.

Please help.

[@pabernathy Participant 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

I had the same issue….I freaking panicked. I had my host restore to yesterday’s backup. The bbpress update did the exact thing to my site…404 on Everything.

[@pabernathy Participant 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

I resolved mine by rolling back to a previous edition of bbpress. Clearly the bbpress update has issues and indeed caused 404 havoc on my website as well.

[@pabernathy Participant 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

The only thing I have in addition to bbpress is LearnPress Plugin that integrates with bbpress.

[@pabernathy Participant 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

Thanks Robin. Not sure what that means but Thank You.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

sorry, was answering an earlier question as to what was in the new release

[@robin-w Moderator 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

I have raised a trac ticket for this release which hopefully the authors will look at

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3601

[@eusebiuoprinoiu Participant 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

Thank you, Robin!
You linked the wrong thread in the new trac ticket.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

thanks, I’m away at the moment on other stuff, so just trying to get something going until I can look at it, so thanks for spotting 🙂

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 5 months, 3 weeks ago]

2.6.11 will be out later today to fix this.
