can you define ‘cannot create a new forum’
what precise steps do you take, and what exactly happens
From any access point to ‘Add New’ Forum I am presented with usual create screen but all edit buttons are missing, including a save button. In addition I cannot type in the main window but the title can be added, although not saved.
I know you have done plugins in turn, but all at once ? – usual advice is
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 twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
I have gone through the plug-in checks and still found all buttons are disabled. As for changing themes, I don’t wish to do this as when I revert back to my current theme the formatting will be completely messed up which will take hours of work to put right.
One thought – I did add a piece of code to the theme to have the forum response placed in a sensible order. Could this be the culprit? It was added the Themes funcion.php.
function my_custom_display_topic_index_query () {
$args[‘orderby’] = ‘date’;
$args[‘order’] = ‘DESC’;
return $args;
}
add_filter(‘bbp_before_has_topics_parse_args’, ‘my_custom_display_topic_index_query’ );
Ok I removed the added code as detailed above. It made no difference. All buttons and free text are no operable in the ‘Add new’ of Forums.
ok, the best I can suggest is that you create a test site where you can try a different theme to eliminate
