BuddyPress.org

Apparently, this is the current behavior of the bp_rewrites_get_url() function, i.e., the missing trailing slash, when the permalink structure is missing a trailing slash. Hence, a permalink of /%postname%/.html will result in a URL with a missing trailing slash, e.g.:

site.url/members/<user_name>

This causes a 404 error when bbPress tries to concatenate the URLs for the following:

• Replies Created
• Engagements
• Favorites
• Subscriptions

What’s peculiar is that “Topics Started” isn’t affected because, for bbPress, all member area URLs (navigation links) are based on either the bp_displayed_user_domain() or the bp_loggedin_user_domain() functions and both of these functions have the bp_rewrites_get_url() function in the chain for return.

Regardless, this appears to be problematic due to some 3rd party themes and plugins that make use of various other BP functions that have bp_rewrites_get_url() function in the chain for return.

Thanks,

BP_GROUPS_SLUG (deprecated), as indicated is deprecated and shouldn’t be defined/used. However, BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION is defined as “forum” which is what is causing the initial 404 redirect (page not found). Apparently, there was a “forum” nav item for any given group and now there is not therefore, that page can’t be found.

Somewhere, perhaps wp-config.php, there is a line that contains define( 'BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION', 'forum' );, find it and either remove it or comment it out and then you won’t need the redirect plugin. Perhaps, the bbPress plugin was previously activated and all groups had “Group Forum” enabled and thus the constant being defined as it was.

Hi @mike80222

This is an issue with bbPress and there is an open ticket Deprecated Warning ##3589 in bbPress Trac.

You will have to ask the folks over in bbPress as to the status of this ticket.

I’m no longer using BuddyPRess or bbPress. I switched to BuddyBoss and gave up on trying to get BuddyPress to work the way I wanted.

@venutius,

How about this for bbPress:

function goto_home() {
    wp_redirect(get_option('siteurl'));
}
add_action('bbp_feed', 'goto_home', 1);

@whyknott, are you using bbPress or only BuddyPress. I didn’t see anything in what you posted above that would disable bbPress feeds.

Actually, for my purposes the redirect actually works better for all the disables that wp_die() which appears to result in a funny page that some browser still think is an XML page. Does anyone know of a downside in using wp_redirect() here?

Do you mean you want to restrict the file size of images uploaded? If yes, as I know both bbPress and BuddyPress do not have this feature. You can limit it directly on your server or use another plugin.

For anyone that landed here from a Google search. The pagination is not working for forums set up inside BuddyPress groups. You need to copy those two files from
\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress
pagination-topics.php
pagination-replies.php

and copy them to
\wp-content\themes\[yourchildtheme]\bbpress

Replace the code inside pagination-topics.php to:

<?php

/**
 * Pagination for pages of topics (when viewing a forum)
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

// Exit if accessed directly
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;

do_action( 'bbp_template_before_pagination_loop' );

// Use bbPress setting for topics per page
$posts_per_page = bbp_get_topics_per_page();  // Dynamically get the value from bbPress settings

// Get the current page
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? absint(get_query_var('paged')) : 1;

// Set up the custom query
$args = array(
    'post_type'      => bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
    'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
    'paged'          => $paged,
    'meta_query'     => array(
        array(
            'key'   => '_bbp_forum_id',
            'value' => bbp_get_forum_id(),
        ),
    ),
);

// Run the custom query
$forum_query = new WP_Query($args);

if ($forum_query->have_posts()) :
?>
    <div class="bbp-pagination">
        <div class="bbp-pagination-count">
            <?php
            // Display the range of topics being viewed
            $start = ($paged - 1) * $posts_per_page + 1;
            $end = min($paged * $posts_per_page, $forum_query->found_posts);
            echo sprintf(__('Viewing %1$s to %2$s (of %3$s topics)'), $start, $end, $forum_query->found_posts);
            ?>
        </div>
        <div class="bbp-pagination-links">
            <?php
            // Generate the pagination links
            echo paginate_links(array(
                'total'   => $forum_query->max_num_pages,
                'current' => $paged,
                'format'  => '?paged=%#%',
                'add_args' => false,
                'prev_text' => __('« Prev'),
                'next_text' => __('Next »'),
            ));
            ?>
        </div>
    </div>
<?php
else :
    echo '<p>No topics found.</p>';
endif;

// Reset post data
wp_reset_postdata();

do_action('bbp_template_after_pagination_loop');
?>

Replace the code inside pagination-replies.php to:

<?php

/**

defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;

$posts_per_page = bbp_get_replies_per_page();  // Dynamically get the value from bbPress settings

// Get the current page
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? absint(get_query_var('paged')) : 1;

// Set up the custom query
$args = array(
    'post_type'      => bbp_get_reply_post_type(),
    'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
    'paged'          => $paged,
    'meta_query'     => array(
        array(
            'key'   => '_bbp_topic_id',
            'value' => bbp_get_topic_id(),
        ),
    ),
);

// Run the custom query
$replies_query = new WP_Query($args);

if ($replies_query->have_posts()) :
?>
    <div class="bbp-pagination">
        <div class="bbp-pagination-count">
            <?php
            // Display the range of replies being viewed
            $start = ($paged - 1) * $posts_per_page + 1;
            $end = min($paged * $posts_per_page, $replies_query->found_posts);
            echo sprintf(__('Viewing %1$s to %2$s (of %3$s replies)'), $start, $end, $replies_query->found_posts);
            ?>
        </div>
        <div class="bbp-pagination-links">
            <?php
            // Generate the pagination links
            echo paginate_links(array(
                'total'   => $replies_query->max_num_pages,
                'current' => $paged,
                'format'  => '?paged=%#%',
                'add_args' => false,
                'prev_text' => __('« Prev'),
                'next_text' => __('Next »'),
            ));
            ?>
        </div>
    </div>
<?php
else :
    echo '<p>No replies found.</p>';

// Reset post data
wp_reset_postdata();

do_action('bbp_template_after_pagination_loop');
?>

Then, resave your permalinks.
