Bug #8397
closed
- Status changed from Assigned to In Progress
Hi Matt,
It appears that adonlon did not have a WordPress role, so that's why the Profile link from the admin bar did not work for her. However, she did have the bbPress role of "participant".
I just updated her WordPress role to "subscriber" so she should be able to access the Profile link as expected now. Can you ask her to verify if this works or not? Can she also describe what page she was on when she tried to click on the Profile link? Was it the WP admin dashboard?
The main issue now is to figure out a user was able to have no role on the main NYCDH site. Will look into this and report back.
great -- thanks, Ray, for your answer and quick response. I cc'ed you on my reply
I've narrowed down the problem to the bbPress plugin.
If you're interested, there is an existing ticket that mentions the problem here:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2210
A workaround could involve adding the WordPress role when a user is activated, instead of having bbPress attempt to hijack the role routine when the activated user logs in.
thanks, Ray. I'm happy to go with whatever you think is best. It's concerning, though, as NYCDH is a straight WP install, right? Should we integrate this fix into CBOX?
Actually, it appears that the bug occurs with BuddyPress on WordPress multisite installs.
When a user registers and activates their account, no WordPress role is assigned to that user.
I've created a ticket with a fix here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7565
And have added a variation of that fix on NYCDH for now.
Wow -- that seems like a significant bug! thanks for fixing, Ray
- Status changed from In Progress to Resolved
Going to mark this as resolved as I've added a temporary fix for NYCDH and BuddyPress is going to release a variation of the fix for v3.0.
