Problem with permission settings

can you just confirm that if you deactivate my private groups plugin the problem goes away?

When I deactivate the plugin I, as a Participant, can create a new topic as expected.
But strangely enough I still see the message “No topics found” although the forum does contain a topic created by admin.

My problem looks similar to
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/no-topics-display-despite-of-forum-has-topics/
except that I am using the defalut WP theme for now.

I think it is a bug in BbPress itself:

try these as a fix

Thanks a lot!
I’ll investigate further and let you know.

I installed both plugins and reverted to the default theme but the problem persists. Any other ideas?

ok, so it isn’t a private groups problem, and with a default wp theme it still doesn’t work – yes ?

if so, i’d suspect ‘user switching’ if that is a plugin

in essence, my standard problem definition actions apply viz :

It could be a theme or plugin issue issue, so you’ll need to test to find out which

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Then come back
