ithemes security blocked bbpress plugin

The problem seems to be with the ‘hide login area’ feature of iThemes Security. https://prntscr.com/990h9v

When I turned off this feature, the bbPress worked good. I have recorded the problem in the video. https://screencast.com/t/fbJkY8tAqIo

Sounds like a plugin conflict.
Are there any errors in the webserver error_log ?

The relevant post_new.php code is:

if ( ! isset( $_GET['post_type'] ) ) {
	$post_type = 'post';
} elseif ( in_array( $_GET['post_type'], get_post_types( array('show_ui' => true ) ) ) ) {
	$post_type = $_GET['post_type'];
} else {
	wp_die( __('Invalid post type') );
}

Looks like the (custom) ‘forum’ post type is not registered for the current user …

If you are NOT using nginx webserver you could try and comment the following line in the better-wp-security/core/modules/hide-backend/class-itsec-hide-backend.php file like this:

//add_action( 'plugins_loaded', array( $this, 'plugins_loaded' ), 11 );

@dwinden thanks for the reply.
I did not like idea of editing the core files of the plugin… For now, I am I made it work by turning of a feature of itheme security.

I found that it was WPML plugin that was problem. bbPress and WPML are not compatible with each other. And to solve this we need to install a bridge. https://github.com/dmsherazi/bbPress-Multilingual

@kabitaprocab

Ok, thank you for sharing that info.
So I guess the issue as described in this topic is solved.
If so please mark this topic as ‘resolved’.

@kabitaprocab and @dwinden,

The latest version of WPML (3.2.7+) and bbPress are compatible. The problem you are facing is because of iTheme Security. You have shown it perfectly in the video https://screencast.com/t/fbJkY8tAqIo.

solution: add this to functions.php

[ Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button. ]

add_action( 'init', 'dynamic_role_cap', -10 );
function dynamic_role_cap() {
    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
    $current_user->get_role_caps();
}

get_role_caps() will retrieve all the capabilities and merge with individual capabilities. This will help ‘iTheme’ to handle capabilities and hopefully solve your problem.

BTW WPML is not actively working on a “BBPress Multilingual” plugin anymore, development has ceased. So it is highly not recommended.

Thank you

Activating only the iThemes Security (with Hide Backend feature emabled) and BBPress plugins the issue as demonstrated in the video does not seem to reproduce … at least I was unable to (Did run into something else).

So it looks like the WPML plugin plays a bigger role in this issue than your post suggests …
I’m more than willing to admit the issue is caused by the iTSec plugin but only when convincing arguments are presented …
