I’m having some issues with this plugin. Hopefully someone here can help.

I’ve installed on a local installation, using Instant WordPress.

I’ve read everything on here about this error and it’s all about ports but I do not know how to make a change to a) Instant WordPress or b) bbpress to fix the issue.

My error is ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?

Yes. Yes I am.

Can anyone offer some insight? Explain it like I’m 5, because the existing answers do not seem to work for me.

I have the most recent versions of WordPress and bbpress installed. I can create forums and topics with the WordPress dashboard, but not replies. I cannot create forums, topics or replies using the plugin at all.

Thank you!

Very good point, Robin. 😄 Would you please tell me a little bit more about the permissions I should be looking at? Thank you for your help!

ok, can I suggest you post a new topic, and say exactly when this is occurring.

I had to update my server, and was getting this error.

Just as everyone has said, putting this snippet into my themes function.php fixed the error:

add_filter('bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 'custom_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 999, 1);

function custom_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url($requested_url) {
    return 'https://www.yoursite.com' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}

PS Make sure your siteurl and home defines in wp-config.php are correct too.
