so presumably this is a bbpress post that the user is editing – yes?
Yes, it’s on bbpress. Example, the user makes a spelling error on the forum and wants to correct it after submitting, the error occurs when clicking edit.
ok, so if you hover the mouse over the edit bitton, you should see in the bottom left hand corner where that button will take you – ie a url such as
https://meltdowncnc.com/forums/topic/xxx/edit
can you tell me what you one says please
https://meltdowncnc.com/wordpress2/index.php/forums/reply/385/edit/
I hope this doesn’t go through more than once. It said I’ve already sent but it isn’t showing on my screen that is did.
See previous post and…
I just noticed that when I click that link, it redirects to
Edit Ad
I really don’t know how that happened or how to fix it.
um, very weird.
what have you got set in
dashboard>settings>forums>slugs – can you list them all
forum, topic, topic-tag, view, reply, edit, search, users, topics, replies, favorites, subscriptions, engagements
and the forum root slug is ‘forums’ and the prefix box below is ticked – yes?
Yes, the Forum Root is forums and the Forum Prefix is ticked.
I am super appreciative of your help but I have to step away from my computer for a couple hours. If you are able to continue helping, that would be great. I’m very sorry but me stepping away is unavoidable. I’ll respond to any other questions or suggestions you have in a couple hours. Thanks again and I understand if you have something else you need to do.
hey no problem, I am in the UK so probably different time zone.
before you come back, can you next try
dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets the permalinks and may help
Thank you. I was able to try that before I stepped away. Unfortunately, it did not work.
ok, so as a test
deactivate the AWPCP Classifieds and see if the topic/reply edit then goes to the correct place – if so I’d suspect that AWPCP Classifieds may be looking for ‘/edit/ and taking that through to their page, but let’s see if that happens
I deactivated AWPCP. When I hover over the edit button, it shows the same link as before. It now takes me to the Edit Page with only the shortcode [AWPCPEDITAD] showing.
do you have any caching software active?
Not that I’m aware of. Meaning something in WordPress or elsewhere?
the AWPCP plugin is a paid plugin so i have no access to it – have you contacted their support for help?
it is unusual to see index.php included in a url
https://meltdowncnc.com/wordpress2/index.php/forums/topic/website-test-committee-input/
what theme are you using?
Gantry 5, the Hydrogen theme.
ok, it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users
Health Check & Troubleshooting
Then come back
Thanks, I’ll do that and post the results. It may be tomorrow before I can get to it. Thanks again for the help.
no problem.
There is always an explanation, we just need to find it 🙂
I tried a new theme and the troubleshooting tool. No joy. I am going to create a clone site from scratch and make sure I install bbpress first and test the edit feature. I’ll install AWPCP second to see if the same issue happens. I’ll post the results once I’m done. Fortunately the site is for testing anyway. I have some users but I know all of them so it won’t be a big deal. I think I installed AWPCP first initially but I don’t remember for sure.
just tossing dice, try setting ‘edit’ to ‘editing’ in
dashboard>settings>forums>slugs>edit
I had tried that earlier but I changed it to editt. It still redirects for some reason.
ok, it is some redirect going on….
