wp 3.5.1
bp 1.7
group forum works well for Administrators. other wp or bp roles can create topics and send in groups, but they just have access to admin topics, their topics are shown as a blank page for them! any idea?

@johnconner Need more information about your installation.
– WP single or multisite? If multisite, is BP in main site or subsite?
– Is this a new installation of did you upgrade from BP 1.6.5? If new, did you follow instructions at https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ ?
– Did you go through basic troubleshooting like changing to BP Default theme and deactivating all other plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress and checking if issue is resolved?

@mercime
– WP single 3.5.1
– BP default theme
– updated from 1.6.4 to 1.7 and had this problem before, I thought it would be solved
– all plugins were deactivated except BP
– the only challenge is users can’t see users’ topics

@mercime
– WP single 3.5.1
– not new install
– BP default theme
– updated from 1.6.4 to 1.7 and had this problem before, I thought it would be solved
– all plugins were deactivated except BP
– the only challenge is users can’t see users’ topics, even the creator of topic can’t see his/her post in group forum

Well, there was a very stupid reason for the problem and special thanks to “wpbadman_plus”. A code in .htaccess which stops bad search and queries was the why of happening:
`RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (//|%2F%2F|/%2F|%2F/|<||>|%3E|%00) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (..|%2e%2e|%2e.|.%2e)(/|%2f) [NC,OR]`
thank you everyone and god bless Boston.

@johnconner Glad you resolved the issue and thanks for posting back. Did you add that to your htaccess file to harden WordPress install?

@mercime No pal, I just installed OSE firewall and use its php modules instead.
