Delete Post not working

    • Posted 3 years ago #

    I'm trying to delete some posts. When I hit "delete" the post turns red. When I refresh the forum, I find that the posts are still there. They do not show up in the Admin panel of Deleted posts. I was able to delete before... the last one was about a week ago. I haven't done anything to the forum since then. The last change I made was adding the Report Post plugin, but that was BEFORE I deleted my last post (2/25/08).

    I'm running the latest released version of bbPress, which is integrated with WP 2.3.

    Here are the plugins that I am currently running in bbPress:
    Use Display Name 0.7.2
    BBCode for bbPress 0.1
    Quote 0.2
    Show Post Count .73a
    Page Links 1.0.3
    Indicate New Posts 0.8
    Simple Onlinelist 1.5
    Move It 0.14
    Censor 0.1
    Page >> 0.7
    Unread Topics 0.4
    Comment Quicktags for bbPress 1.1
    bbPress Polls 0.27
    bbEmoticons 0.72
    Enhanced Registration 0.1.0.1
    Report Post 0.12
    bb-benchmark 0.17

    Update: I tried it without the "Report Post" plug-in, and it still didn't work.

    I'm reluctant to turn off all plug-ins, since that would break functionality. The forum is live and gets a decent amount of traffic.

    Ok, I'm going to wait to install the update for a bit. But in the meantime, is it possible to delete the offending post via PHPMyAdmin without screwing something up?

    Thanks!

    I had some spam to delete today, and realized that the "Delete" function still wasn't working for the Keymaster.

    I deleted the offending post and topic name from PHPMyAdmin, but I really don't want to do that!

    Can somebody help me troubleshoot this problem? The forum gets a decent amount of traffic, and there are a few trolls waiting in the wings. :)

    I just set up two new accounts... testuser1 and testuser2.

    As testuser1, I posted a new topic.

    As Keymaster, I was unable to delete testuser1's post. Before logging off as Keymaster, I made testuser2 a Moderator.

    Logging in as testuser2, I was able to delete testuser1's post.

    I'm running v0.8.3 with WordPress 2.3.3. I am not in a position to upgrade to bb 0.9.01 or WP 2.5 yet, since our forum and website are very active right now.

    So... why can't the Keymaster delete a post?
