Hidden topics and replies

[tijoseph]

I am finishing up my site, and had a user register. Whenever they post a topic, reply, pretty much anything in the forum it does not appear. It does however increase the forums statistics of hidden topics and hidden replies.

I have tried running all of the buddypress tools to remedy this and nothing. I have also tried deactivating all the plugins except those necessary to the theme and the same result is achieved.

Have you heard of this issue and is there a solution?

Are you using bbPress for your forums? Or are you using the deprecated forum feature within BuddyPress?

bbress and buddypress. Not certain what you mean. Just installed the recommended plugins as outlined by the theme when installing it.

This is only happening with one certain user registration. I suppose I can create a new one and apply his posts to the new identity when deleting this account, but I am concerned that when the forum grows this will be a reoccurring issue.

@guy_fraser How do I tell if I am using the correct forums?

If you installed recommended plugins then you are using correct forums most likely, but to check…

Go to WP Admin > Settings > BuddyPress > Components tab, click on “Retired” link at top and make sure the groups component is disabled (not ticked).

Next, go to WP Admin > Forums and make sure there is a forum *category* that will act as parent to the BP group forums. (When creating/editing that forum the “Forum Attributes” should have Forum Type = Category)

Note: I also set this category forum to be hidden so that none of the group forums will appear on the main forums list = they can only be accessed via their associated groups.

Go to WP Admin > Settings > Forums and tick “Enable Group Forums” at the bottom of that screen, then make sure the correct forum category is selected as the group forum parent.

That’s basically what I did, if it doesn’t work on your install then it’s probably worth heading over to the bbpress website to see if anyone there knows of a cure. http://bbpress.org/forums/
