About: Wayne Hedlund

OK. So here’s the deal. I did the reset button and it seemed like maybe that worked. I had one of my programmers check the database files to see if all the bbpress data was removed properly. Here’s what he said:

The bbp_participant values are still there but they are not effecting login – whedlundTEST still had the value when you tested it (so it should have worked) but I just removed it and it still works (goes to /members/activity correctly) so removing the files did the trick.

I think it is a bug for s2member not to respect the activation setting of the bbPress plugin instead of just looking at files, but it works now, so that is what matters.

But now another problem has cropped up. i don’t know if this a bbpress issue or an S2 issue. I tried to create a new Administrator and was unable to login to the website as that new Admin. I could login with any existing Admin though. So I reinstalled bbPress yet again and all of a sudden it was working fine again.

I don’t have access to my programmer right now, but I am wondering if S2 is requiring that “bbp_participant” value for things to work properly. It seems to me that there should be a way to reset the values and database back to an original value in S2 if I uninstall bbpress.

I would appreciate help with this. I don’t want bbPress on my site anymore. It’s part of my efforts to clean up unused plugins to speed up a site that’s starting to get a little sluggish.

thanks in advance.

After some research, we have found that the problem is some how linked to bbPress. Users that can login and see the default welcome page have wp_capabilities like:
a:2:{s:15:”s2member_level1″;s:1:”1″;s:15:”bbp_participant”;b:1;}

users who can login but can’t load the welcome page have:
a:1:{s:15:”s2member_level1″;s:1:”1″;}

This issue seemed to have begun after disabling the bbPress plugin. So I am wondering if s2member is enforcing or expecting the “bbp_participant” setting because it think bbPress is still enabled?
How does s2member detect bbPress?
We have deactivated the plugin from the wp plugin UI, but not removed the files.

Did we find a bug?

just curious. can someone check to see if this happens to you if you try to export users with S2 and let me know?

I get a whole bunch of garble-dee-gook: ‹ì½kwÛH’&ü}E®úœí™³ûeß/ºÙ–mÉÖHîòté“$!hR2ë׿‘ $“ H&]Õ»sN¹F’”xñÄɧ«“Ó“¿•q‘ñI‡w¼
