Hi,
Sorry but just to continue this, I have been looking at the “odd” records with _oembed in the postmeta table, I am concerned that some of these are left over records from spam here is the contents of one.

why is this being left behind when I delete the spam reply ?
I have been deleting these, in the past 3 weeks over 900 records have been created in my metapost table. anyone know why ?
Yes I do, that is how I know there are lots of records with a post_name of “oembed_cache….” and a post_content “{{unknown}}”
yes, the site seems to be working front end OK, but back end if I click in dashboard nothing is happening now if I click in themes I get the dashboard but when I click on replies or all replies I get a blank list but the next page shows the posts and if I click on drafts I get nothing only the titles. I cannot down load screen sots to show you what I mean.
Hi Robin,
My host has changed the PHP handler to “FPM application server by nginx” and not I am getting 404 errors when a visitor goes into a topic or reply. I have asked them to undo the change.
I get the internal error when I go into dashboard – then click on replies or all replies.

Hi Robin,
I have been through that but no luck, I have checked with my host and they say there are no errors showing on the server.
I am very worried about the posts with a post_name of “oembed_cache….” and a post_content “{{unknown}}” I have loads of them and I have looked at an older database (Nov 2018) and I cannot find any. I did raise a topic about this a few days before I had this problem.
I would ask if I have been hacked but the website appears to be working normally.

Hi Robin,
I am not sure which record to delete, in my posts table for yesterdays date I have about 20 records that contain the “oembed_cache” I asked about in a previous topic. I have looked at the meta post table and that now has about 1000 extra records that I think came from the repair forums tool.

Hi Robin,
Thanks, I tried that but it does not work.

Extra info…
I get this error if I try to go into all replies, I have one draft if I try to access that I get the error so it would seem the error is with the create reply that I abandoned. If I go into the post table and delete it will that cause me more problems ?
once again, brilliant thank you, thank you
doh sorry just realized why it does not work, it is not the topics but the sub forums that are only showing 50.
OK thanks, I have tried deactivating nearly all the plugins just left bbpress / style pack and it is still the same, also as I said chopped the functions file.
In the child theme functions.php, I have tried it on its own in case another function is messing with it but it still does not work. Thanks for your help
sorry, no, still not working
Hi Robin,
Thanks but that does not work,
Also I have changed the line 11 in bbp style pack as above back to default it knocks the list under Countries back to 50 so not including Vietnam.
That’s fine, I really appreciate the help you have given me, I am trying to learn as quick as I can.
Thanks for all you help
Hi Robin,
Thanks for the offer, but my site is for public information and I don’t make enough to pay for the hosting.
I think I just need to find the parameters for the hook bbp_theme_before_topic_form_submit_button so I can add the contents of the field to the end of the topic contents.
Thanks for your help

Hi,
I think that “custom post meta boxes” is more complicated than I need, it creates a new menu on the dashboard and I have to include what I want there, as I will use unique labels on each new topic I think it goes too far. I can see the fields I want with the code above on the front end ‘new topic’, I just want the code to show up in the backend “create new topic” if there is no way to include them in the backend ‘New Topic’ I will accept that.
I then need to include these fields at the end of the content before posting both in the topic and the replies — content = content + bbp_extra_field1 + bbp_extra_field2 do you know where I can get at the content before it is written to the table.
Thanks
The custom post meta boxes creates the boxes in a post, I still cannot find a hook to create them in the “new Topic” back end.
Thanks
no, the hashtag will be any one of about ten but the other one will be unique for each topic.
Hi Robin,
Thanks, I guess there are not too many, just trying to cut down on the space I am using, I am also cutting down the number of backups I am keeping, I am sure 3 will do :).
Clive
Thanks Robin,
I will give it a go and let you know if I succeed.
