Any issues since WP4.4 ?

@casiepa – thanks for advising me.

I’m not aware of issues, but I haven’t specifically tested with 4.4 yet.

Given that 4.4.1 should fix a bbpress issue, then I’d prefer to wait until then to start serious debugging if the issue is still there.

I don’t know why @shades404 would work, but if it does – great – I’ll post on that site to see if others are seeing this.

Thanks again for advising me – I would have missed otherwise

I’ll try monitoring to see if it’s an issue.

I’m scanning the forums almost daily with Robkk, so if I see something I will let you know ??

Thanks ??

as far as I can work out, there are no issues with private groups as such, but upgrading to 4.4 does produce a bbpress issue.

At the moment I think the following is true

If you are staying with 4.4 then implement the following
open wp-includes/post.php, scroll to about line 4300 to find function get_page_uri( $page )
In that function replace
if ( ‘publish’ === $parent->post_status ) {

with
if ( ! in_array( $parent->post_status, get_post_stati( array( ‘internal’ => true ) ) ) ){

If you revert to 4.3.x, then the upgrade will have altered the database, so you need to go into each forum and toggle visibility public/private status , saving in between. So if private, toggle to public and save and then toggle back and save again. If public, do the reverse.

Not sure of you need to do that if you stay with 4.4

Should all be fixed in 4.4.1.

If anyone thinks different, please come back – would be good to have a single definitive post saying what users should do

I installed Private Group Settings 3.3.1 on WP 4.4.1, activated
Forum Visibility but doesn’t display the forum titles in the indexes.

I noticed the recommendation to replace
if ( ‘publish’ === $parent->post_status ) {

with
if ( ! in_array( $parent->post_status, get_post_stati( array( ‘internal’ => true ) ) ) ){

Is this still a recommended fix, or is there possibly a settings issue?

Hi Bob,
I think that fix was for 4.4, so before 4.4.1.
But I see forum titles like ‘test forum’ and ‘this is forum 2’, so where is the issue ?
Pascal.

Please disregard and count the previous message as “resolved.” I did some further testing and realized I hadn’t set up any groups. The titles are now visible to non-logged-in users and the plug-in performs as advertised.

Thanks!

Bob- Hey great – glad you’re fixed.

Casiepa – thanks for posting also !
