After recently upgrading the bbpress and core WP files, as well as other plugins we use to the latest versions I am noticing that the links to users’ profiles no longer work correctly. Instead of loading the bbpress user profile, they load up the WP author archive. Is this happening for everyone else too, or just me?

^ SPAM!

Anyone have a similar issue with their bbpress installation, or can offer some pointers for me as to how to go about solving this issue?

@kundan1947, this is the wrong topic for that request.

spammers are loving your topic

usually creating a bbpress.php from a copy of page.php or sometimes single.php and removing unwanted code for comments and blog specific content would fix most theme problems.

follow this guide on creating a bbpress.php

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

contact your theme author too since this is a premium theme, and that i cant be more hands on and look at the code of your theme without buying it.

need more help on this reply back.

@Robkk, thanks for the tips I will look into this further following your suggestions.

Spammers GTFO 😉

You should follow this guide too, some users say that throwing all the templates into a child theme resolves theme issues too.

I reverted to the twentyfifteen theme and it does the same thing, so it’s not a theme issue.

[Robkk]

on my test site i tested twentyfifteen and it worked fine.

the author link lead to the profile like default.

did you do any kind of import on your site??

[shanhard]

Yes, we imported our forum content from another plugin in February. We had to write a custom script because the Subdreamer forum system is not common and wasn’t in the dropdown list. Everything was working fine up until the recent updates.

We are also using the following bbPress related plugins:
bbP private groups
GD bbPress Toolbox

im going to guess everything was fine in 2.5.4??

those plugins you listed, i dont think they would mess with the author link.
but if you didn’t already deactivate everything except bbPress and see if the issue persists.

if the issue is still there , we would have to go through more troubleshooting to help fix this issue for you.

and just know as a last resort you might have to hire a developer to fix this issue
