I’m running wordpress 3.5.1 and bbpress 2.3.2. I’m having difficulty viewing/editing a users profile.

When you click on the name of the person who started a topic, or on your own “Edit Profile” link, the site “spins” for quite awhile then displays a very large page that has a large number of that users profile displayed over and over again. If I click on one of the links in any of the profiles…like “Topics Started” all is well. I get the users profile with a list of the topics they have started to the right of it.

It’s just the first link that has the problem. It looks like thte code is caught in an infinite loop that just keeps returning the users profile over and over again.

I’m wondering if it could be the bbpress.php file causing the problem. I thought I had the default version with a few things commented out. Here’s what I have:

<?php 
      get_header();
?>
	<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

		<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

			<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

			<?php // include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/meta.php' ); ?>

			<div class="entry">

				<?php the_content(); ?>

				<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => 'Pages: ', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>

			</div>

			<?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>

		</div>
		
		<?php // comments_template(); ?>

		<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

<?php //get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thanks in advance.

I believe my problem is related, or similar to this issue https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1844#no1

The infinite loop is fixed if I avoid the use of the_content()

Issue #1844 says it was fixed a year ago though…and I’m running the latest version of bbpress…so I don’t know why I ran into this problem.
