Plugin causes forums to render above all html

[Kate]

Running WordPress 3.8 with bbPress 2.5.1, caused forums HTML to render above all other HTML (even my DOCTYPE declaration). Was running a custom theme, swapped to Twenty Ten. Same issue. Swapped again to Twenty Thirteen. Same issue. Had to vote it as broken. 🙁

I have the same problem. I found a workaround, but it’s not a 100%.

Add a “break;” to bbpress-pf.php after line 34 so that the function looks like this:

//Disallowed?
    foreach($current_user->roles as $role){
        if(in_array($role, $disallowed_roles)){
            ob_start();
            add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_form', 'pf_stop_capture');
            break;
        }
    }

Otherwise the action gets called too many times, messing up the session and leading to the page rendering out of order.

This is not a perfect workaround because it still causes the icons in the WordPress toolbar to not display. But otherwise it seems to solve the problem.

Would be great if this were fixed. 🙁

I think I found a workaround to the toolbar icons not displaying (or at least, it’s working for me). Add this code:

wp_enqueue_style('dashicons-css', '/wp-includes/css/dashicons.min.css');

to the pf_stop_capture method:

function pf_stop_capture(){
    ob_get_clean();
    remove_action('bbp_theme_after_topic_form', 'pf_stop_capture');
    wp_enqueue_style('dashicons-css', '/wp-includes/css/dashicons.min.css');
}

This worked for me, as well. Thank you!

@wesley
this works for me here too.
however, as i am allowing people to post even if they are not registered/logged in I added – just after //Disallowed ?

if(!is_user_logged_in()){
		ob_start();
		add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_form', 'pf_stop_capture');
		return;
	}

as i think the chances are that – if one want sto restrict topic creation – than this should also by default apply to non logged in users too i would have thought.

works for me anyway

These changes worked perfectly! Someone really should fork this plugin off and implement these changes to the core code

Thanks a lot! I had the same problem and it worked for me, too! 😀
