When I try to go to my bbpress forums, my site falsely “thinks” I am logged out

EDIT: Nevermind, I went to download w3 total cache, cleared all caches and it’s working now. Strange because I had read in the past that it’s better not to use caching plugins with membership plugins. Am I going to need to continuously cache to avoid this kind of problem? What do you suggest to prevent this from happening in the future?

I am building a new site and using UM. I have another site I’ve already built with UM & bbpress and it works just fine. But on the new site, even if I am logged into my username, when I click on the forums and try to make a topic, it “thinks” that I am not logged in and I can’t post anything. However it is not actually logging me out – because if I click on any other area of my site and go to a different page, my username/info is still there and I am still logged in. It’s only when I go to bbpress that it treats me as if I’m not logged in. Not sure what to do. As I mentioned, my other site is working just fine and does not have this issue.

Hi @kosmicbird,

What happens when you login through default WP login? Does the issue still occur on bbpress forum?

Thanks.

Hi @ultimatemembersupport,

Thanks for your reply. After much troubleshooting, I eventually discovered that the problem was a caching issue related to the latest WP update. There was an issue with the endurance-cache file of the new WP constantly reverting back to older saved states within that file. Problem was solved by disabling this process.
