As a workaround I had to delete the post and create a new one by copying content of the older post (and assigning former user to that post).
Also I had another issue: after putting the post to the trash, I clicked on recover then I had a new page asking me if I really wanted to do that with a retry link. Hitting retry didn’t actually recover the post. This looks like a but too. Later I deleted permanently the former post from the trash (after having created the new one), it worked, but I had no confirmation message. This one might not be a bug, but would probably be nice to have a confirmation when permanently deleting.
Your first issue is a known issue and is fixed for the next release of bbPress.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2587
A workaround for that issue is to run the repair tools after moving a topic.
Your second issue could you give detailed reproduction steps and I’ll take a look.
eg.
1 Create this
2. Do this
3. Click this
4. Now this
Results: This is what happened
Expected Results: This is what I expected to happen.
About the second issue, here is the scenario I used as I remember it:
1. create a topic in forum A
2. edit the topic (WordPress editor, not “modify button”) and change the forum for this topic to forum B
3. from the WordPress dashboard, go to Topics/All Topics
4. move the topic to Trash
5. go to Trash, recover the topic
Expected result: the topic is recovered
Actual result: a new page popped up asking me if I really wanted to do that with a retry link. Hitting retry didn’t actually recover the post. The post never got recovered
Btw found another issue today:
prerequisites:
– BuddyPress must be installed and a menu must be available to show the site-wide activity
– forum A is public, forum B is hidden
– user 1 has access to forum A only
– user Admin has access to forum A and B
1. with user 1, create a topic into forum A which is a public forum
2. with user Admin, click Modify button on the topic, and change the forum of the topic to forum B which is a hidden forum
3. go to the BuddyPress Activity page of the site and observe
Expected result: activity of user 1 posting a topic into forum A is not present
Actual result: activity of user 1 posting a topic into forum A is present. This is a security issue as users can see publicly a post that has been moved into a hidden forum.
I have tried various repair options for this one but that didn’t fix the problem and the topic still shows up into the Activity page.
Apparently this wasn’t fixed, I just moved a topic and the counts did not change in either forum nor did my user account show that I posted to the new forum. I ran a repair, with only topic counts checked and the counts were fixed but my profile picture was not moved. I ran it a 2nd time with everything checked, and now the forum is correct!
So it looks like the bug was not fixed, and users MUST repair after a topic is moved to keep the forum data correct FYI.
