Well after playing with this issue for several hours I have narrowed the problem down to this;
If I try to post the following trivial example code example:
update project_management set prj_first_activated = CURRENT_DATE;
the post will not be posted (I guess trying that here will help get insight – if it behaves the same, then I know that there is a good chance that it’s BBPress related).
If I leave the “=” out of the code however, it posts just fine.
Since that worked just fine here, I’ll have to blame my own editor 🙂
(I’m using a rich editor, not TinyMCE)
If I send “rich” content to BBPress (ie. HTML), what would the proper formatting be for code?
One step further: if I try to submit this code in my test environment (local network), it works just fine.
Does anyone have an idea how to debug/approach this issue?
FYI: I have looked at Debugging in WordPRess.
I did install the “debug bar” but the amount of queries and info after a post is not telling me why it did not post.
Are there other factors that can make it that such a post will not be posted?
(ie. mod_secure on the webserver, etc – any logs I can snoop through, etc)
Alright found the cause of this issue: mod_secure is catching it 🙁
Any way to make this work without compromising security?
(ie. the bbpress.org server seems to be fine with posting this)
Since bbPress sanitizes a post, is it save to disable the mod_security rule (for forum pages only) concerning the SQL injection rules?
(what do you do on this forum?)
This “topic” was also discussed in an older (2 years old) Post.
But no clarification how “safe” it is to remove the mod_security rule for particular bbPress links (which ones, anyone?).
