Hi,

I’m getting the “Error: Are you sure you wanted to do that?”. This happens when replying to a topic or creating a topic. It’s also intermittent and no clear pattern when it happens. I have found if I reply again (or try creating the topic again) it will post.

I have looked online for a solution but the solutions I have found don’t seem to apply. Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help.

the error is when the ‘nonce’ does not validate.

not sure what you can do about it, not my speciality 🙂

I suppose I could try using translation to make it a friendly message but would rather try and fix it.

function my_nonce_message ($translation) {
    if ($translation === 'Are you sure you want to do this?') {
       return 'Please try again.';
    } 

    return $translation;
}
 
add_filter('gettext', 'my_nonce_message');

It’s not an error I’ve seen often.

usually it would relate to url’s being wrong, but this would then apply to all your attempts.
