very odd…  any chance your membership plugin is blocking that url with the query args?

I am not sure what you mean.  I am not really a coder.

We are using BuddyPress on WordPress Multisite, with SimplePress forum 5.0.0 beta.  All latests versions.

I did compare this urls for searches on two similarly configured sites:

?search=1&forum=all&value=dover&type=1&include=1   <<<<STOCKGURU.COM

?forum=all&value=dover&type=1&include=1&search=1   <<<< our other site (buddypress, standard wordpress, simplepress)

Stockguru site is beta 5.  The other site is version 4.5.1, and it works fine for search.  

I realize this is a non-standard configuration for you being on multisite and buddypress. I would not mind paying a coder you might recommend to look at it more closely and see fi there is a fix.

Thanks,

John

One more slight issue:

I am unable to “pin a post” or edit the title of a post.  I am not seeing the typical moderation links that I have on the earlier version. I am sure they are there.  I have checked permissions all over, and cannot see where i have not enabled them.

the urls are just ordered differently in the code rewrite of 5.0… shouldnt matter – unless you have something else on your site intercepting the ?search= component… try in your url manually changing the order…

its not a general 5.0 issues as we have many thousands of users using it already… and I wouldnt say multisite and buddypress are nonstandard – we have significant numbers using them too… just our integration isnt as deep as we would like it to be… but they generally work find together…

please try to keep it to one issue per topic if possible or things tend to get lost…

by typical moderation tools do you mean the admin bar or the forum tools? the former is a plugin for sp now and on the latter, the link is not always displayed – only on hovering on topic or post row…

Search issue resolved by deactivating bbPress plugin. BuddyPress does not need that anymore (built in), and so I think having essentially three forums active was causing a conflict. Now we are running current buddypress and current simplepress in harmony.  All is working fine.  I have asked my followup question on admin options in a question just asked by another member this morning.

Thank you!

good to hear… both might have been keying in on same thing…

we will want to investigate none the less…
