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

Censor 0.1

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?
