First of all, great forum and plugin for wordpress.

Using Simple:Press Forum 3.0.3 with Wordpress 2.3.3

I have noticed that with members posting new topics, awaiting for approval, the post is in moderation under ALL forums.

When I first set things up, I had two forums - and I noticed that every time I tested with adding new posts for approvals, the admin user will see on the top “2 new posts waiting for approval”.

Now I have 6 forums - and I notice that there are now “6 new posts…” for each new post waiting for approval.

The email notification is fine (I get just the one) - if I click through from the email and approve from there, it goes directly to where the user suggested the topic be placed.

When I approve ANY of the posts (ie. when I approve the one topic) it is approved in the particular forum I approve in. Then the rest of them disappear.

Is this a feature of Simple:Press that is suppose to be there? The only reason I can imagine this is because some users may end up posting to the incorrect forum and admin wants to approve the topic in the correct forum. If so, I suppose I'll have to live with that.

If not, how I can remove the feature if possible. Or maybe this is a bug? I can easily move the topic to a different forum once it's been published, anyway - so I don't really need this feature.

Right out I can tell you it's a bug. In some ways I am sort of glad you have reported this and in others just plain puzzled.

The bottom line is it has been reported just once before and I have never been able to replicate it. Hopefully you will be willing to work with me so that I can attempt to get to the bottom of what is, quite obvipusly, a very specific set of circumstances.

What I am troubled with is knowing what questions to ask and as it is very late here in the UK and I need some sleep I hope ou donlt mind if I come back to this in the morning when I might have some ideas!

[Whoops - both posted at the same time! I think the exact permissions profile might be useful as well - and a PM would be best for that - andy]

You are the second in a year and 5 months! And thanks for coming back to us.

What I would like to do, if it is OK with you, is take this off the public forum and revert to private messaging as, as you are willing to help, I may ask some data related questions.

I'll start a thread now and send a PM.

Hi,

I reported the same problem here. Here are my details:

• WordPress 2.5.1
• Theme Orange Sky 2.0
• Simple:Press Forum 3.0.2
• Apache version 1.3.41 (Unix)
• PHP version 5.2.5
• MySQL version 5.0.45-community
• Other plugins:
  Adsense 0.1
  Follow URL 1.0
  Math Comment Spam Protection 2.2
  runPHP 2.3.1
  Search Pages 2.3

The only thing you both seem to have in common is your serach addons… where the content of pages is searched.

Even there, you both use different plugins (My guess is they may be based on the same code)

Try disabling the search plugins on your respective sites, and check if the error persists.

If the error goes away, then we have identified a compatablity issue we can address.

If the error continues, then it may be caused by a combination of two or more plugins reacting incompatibly with SPF.

Seeing as this error deals with the saving of data in the database, there is also the posibility that it could be a PHP or SQL setting outside of the wordpress application.

Just quickly before I go to play a round of golf.

Responding to using WP Super Cache:

There is a section for URLs with certain strings that are not cached.

I simply put “/forum” in there - “Rejected URI”.

I check to make sure it isn't cached by looking at the source code.

All pages that are cached, at the very bottom tell me the time it takes for the page to load.

All pages that are NOT cached, at the very bottom is just </html> or whatever it ends with.

I'll try disabling the search plugin sometime, maybe tomorrow

thanks for the info… we are actively researching this issue…

interesting on the wp_super_cache method for not caching the forum… I tried that with no succes.. but I must admit that was several versions ago… will have to try it again.. thanks!

Glad I could help on the caching front PaPa.

I've found another issue trying to solve the current topic.

I was looking at sf-page.php: For DISPLAY NEW POSTS LIST (ADMIN)

and it just occurred to me that the “forum” for the “new post” - was only listed once, and it is the very first forum I created. It also corresponds to the very first forum at the top.

Then the same topic is listed “forum” times (in my case, 10) but each link to the different forums available.

Maybe this could be a starting point - since the displayed “forum” where the new post lives is actually in my 7th forum.

It might be easier if you check out the forum yourself/ves. I will have to give you moderator access so you can see the problem.

Oups…

The information I gave in this topic is not correct: I had the problem of posts going to all forums repeatedly when I reported it at the beginning of April, but I don't have it anymore. What are the differences between my April config and today ? I upgraded WordPress from 2.3.3 to 2.5.1 and I upgraded the Math Comment Spam Protection plugin from 2.1 to 2.2.

I hope this will reduce the confusion I created with my previous post. Maybe yorkhoh can try to upgrade to 2.5.1…

I was planning to upgrade Wordpress to 2.5 but I wanted a couple more revisions. Then 2.5.1 came out - so I thought, end-of-month I might.

I just need to do a whole site backup before trying to upgrade. For some reason, I keep thinking that some plugins may not be compatible with 2.5.1

I'm equally happy with 2.3.3 - nothing's really broken….yet, just Simple:Press Forum has this slight bug, that general visitors will not see.

I have just upgraded to the latest Simple:Press Forum 3.1 Build 335.

Everything else remains the same, still on WP 2.3.3 etc.

I am happy to report that this particular issue/bug has disappeared with the current release.

As far as I'm concerned, you can close this topic. Maybe you want to check with jean-luc first.

Thanks for all your assistance and keep up with the great effort. The software is awesome!

I would have still liked to have known why…. but i wont argue!

Thanks for update and the generous thoughts.
