Thank Robin W for your link. I do all instructions in this topic but the issue is not fixes. I disable all my plugins except bbpress, also i change my default template for wordpress default theme but i get same error.
You don’t have another solution ?
did you try
Dashboard>settings>permalinks. Don’t change anything, but just click save. This resets the permalinks, and can solve some 404 errors.
yes, i tried it. I can create new topics or replies in my Back-End, but i can’t do it in my Front-End side. In bbpress forum i’am a keymaster
ok, so with all plugins except bppress deactivated, and a default theme such as twentyten you cannot create new topics at the front end – yes?
If so is this a new bbpress installation?
Yes all is right except that i can post topics or replies in my front-end. I used the last version of bpress (2.5.7) and when i install 2.5, 2.4, 2.3, 2.2 i get the same error. But when i install a 2.1 version the issue is fixed.
is this a new bbpress installation?
Yes. i use a new bbpress installation (2.5.7)
ok, I’d suggest you start again.
Delete the bbpress database by :
Dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums
then deactivate and delete the plugin
Then reinstall
i reset all my forums, delete plugin and reinstall them. I get the same error. I don’t know what i can do to fixe my issue.
Please @Robin Win can you give me a link for another plugin to build a forum.
bbpress works with a default theme.
If you have done a fresh install to a default theme with no other plugins, then it should work.
Beyond that I cannot help further – sorry
ok thank Robin for your help.
Hello Robin, in bbpress replies folder, i have a php file functions.php. When i edit this file, in bbp_new_topic_handler i have this function
// Nonce check
if ( ! bbp_verify_nonce_request( 'bbp-new-topic' ) ) {
bbp_add_error( 'bbp_new_topic_nonce', __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Are you sure you wanted to do that?', 'bbpress' ) );
return;
}
I think that it’s the problem.
that’s just the file where the code to show that error is.
Are you developing on a local server?
no i’m on my online server
ok, that ruled out another thing.
Sorry, I’m out of suggestions to try
@Robkk
Thank for your solution. but i don’t have permission to do that.
@oyeben6
Hello Oyeben6, i have the same issue than you. Have you find any solution to solve this problem ?
I have the latest version of wordpress and BBpress, Twenty Fifteen as a principal theme, no other plugin working, reinstalled everything 2 times, changed the permalinks but work locally.
Thanks for your kind answer and have a nice day

@gui-n
Hello Guillaume, no i don’t find a solution to solve my issue. BBpress default port is 80, so normally bbpress work in local.
#oyeben6 thanks for your answer. I still have the problem locally. If somebody finds a solution please give us a feedback. Cheers 🙂

i have same problem error: are you on you wanted to do that when i want to added a new topic. i work in local server xampp. Please help me
Hello @Rizkyandika88, are you able to post new topic from your back end ?
While this post is old, I came across this issue when using XAMPP and found the solution here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/error-are-you-sure-you-wanted-to-do-that-3/#post-142468. Once I updated my theme’s function.php file with the suggested method, all worked correctly for my local XAMPP website instance.
BTW, before adding the fix above, when attempting to create a topic or reply, I did not see any error message, in fact no message at all. The page simply reloaded and left the pending topic or reply text sitting inertly on the screen in front of me…
