Permalinks in replies lead to the wrong page

Published on July 13th, 2025 by qiwichupa

Hi. I have encountered this problem: after installing bbpress and converting Mingle forum (this operation was not without problems), in some topics some permalinks are generated with wrong pages.

For example, following this link…:
mydomain/bbforums/topic/stream-records/page/8#post-121032
(I deleted the real domain since my thread was marked as spam, but I can provide it below if needed.)

… we get to page 8 and go down to post 121032 – the second one on that page. But if we go up to the first post on this page, we can see that the link to it is formed as “…/page/7#post-120964″ – as if the post was located on the previous page. Also, if you go down to the bottom of this page, you will see that the last posts are formed as “…/page/9#post-121104″. – that is leading to the next page.

Of course, I experimented with the settings of the paginator, changed the number of displayed posts on the page. In fact, it didn’t change anything, only the posts with the same error were changed. At the same time, if you do not change the settings of the paginator, a few posts with an incorrect link managed to “cure” by splitting the topic starting from this post, and then connecting the new topic with the previous one. But the above post didn’t work, so we can’t say that this is the solution.

I suspect that the cause of the problem may be an incorrectly performed forum import operation, but this operation was not easy (all posts were initially converted as replays and I had to manually correct their status in the database, also some posts were duplicated and were in the wrong id-order) and I would like to understand what exactly can cause this problem and how to fix it.

Of course I’ve already tried bbpress’ built-in error correction options, but they didn’t have any effect.

It’s strange that the paginator seems to be working correctly – it gives the right number of posts per page, and links to these pages also work correctly, but the permalinks with anchors are not working correctly.

Maybe someone has encountered a similar problem and can advise in what direction to look for its solution?

Tech info:
WordPress Version: 6.8.1
Current WordPress Theme: Twenty Fourteen/twentyfourteen-garage version 1.2
PHP Version: 7.4.33
MySQL Version: 10.6.22-MariaDB-0ubuntu0.22.04.1
bbPress (2.6.14)
bbP private groups (3.9.7)
bbp style pack (6.3.9)

the last two plugins do not affect the problem, when you turn them off it remains

VIEWS in bbPress 2.6.14 have disappeared, Where are they?

Published on July 12th, 2025 by tonernews

Since bbPress is owned by WordPress and since our site was built with WordPress, we are trying to figure out what happened to the tens of thousands of VIEWS that use to show up inside your bbPress app, now they have disappeared.

any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Site broken after update to v2.6.14

Published on July 10th, 2025 by finallyfoundausernamenotusedbefore

My forum at https://signalbox.org/the-blower/ is broken after the update to v2.6.14 – I cannot tell if the cause is BBPress itself or one of the various plugins I use.

The error message can be seen by viewing any post.

Any help appreciated.

Why Do bbPress Pages Return 404 for bbp_blocked Users Instead of Access Denied?

Published on July 8th, 2025 by jfbprivate

Hi there,

I’m running a community with bbPress and Paid Memberships Pro. I’ve come across an issue I can’t fully explain or resolve:

Whenever a user with the bbp_blocked role tries to access bbPress content, they get a 404 page instead of a “you don’t have permission” message or a redirect as expected and set in PMPro.

These particular users are not suspended but free members without access to the bbPress sections of the site. I understand the bbp_blocked role is meant to restrict forum access, but why does it result in 404s rather than a proper restriction notice?

My specific questions:

1. Is it intentional that bbPress shows a 404 for bbp_blocked users?

2. If so indeed, can this behavior be changed to show an “access denied” message or redirect instead?

3. Is the bbp_blocked role actually meant only for moderation (bans), and not general access control?

Since I haven’t been able to find anything like my specific setup, any clarification or guidance is much appreciated before I start remapping roles or overriding behavior.

Thanks much in advance!

Login issues

Published on June 25th, 2025 by markfluk

Having issues not being able to login and post on https://diverticulitis.club/forums/. (Register page is https://diverticulitis.club/membership-registration/). I register, receive an email ‘Action required to activate your account’ click on that and get a ‘Your registration is complete’ email with a link to https://diverticulitis.club/membership-login/ which doesn’t recognise the password (have checked and double-checked for user error). Alternatively, I can try and login on a thread e.g. https://diverticulitis.club/forums/topic/rant-room/ which also says incorrect password and redirects me to the WP login page. Any help appreciated.

Published on June 23rd, 2025 by farrahhenleyeducation

I have tried all the recommended solutions here (I searched). Installed the hellow-elementor-bbpress-fix (which broke all my ELemntor templates again after fixing them by unchecking the theme support box in bb press style pack. I moved the folder into a child theme…ect.

Any idea why search results are not linking?
