I have a band messageboard that’s worked flawlessly for a year now… but when I tried posting myself just now, it didn’t appear on the board. When I checked the dashboard, this is what it said for the latest post:

Post on

bbPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND meta_key='views'' at line 1]

SELECT meta_value FROM bb_topicmeta WHERE topic_id = AND meta_key='views'

bbPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' 'views', )' at line 1]

INSERT INTO bb_topicmeta ( meta_id, topic_id, meta_key, meta_value) VALUES ( NULL , , 'views', )

Any idea what’s going on? I’ve never seen this before… and I think I’m the only one with access to the backend.

What version bbPress are you using?

0.8.2.1.

I haven’t changed anything on the server though, which is why I’m confused as to how this could be happening.

It’s possible something in the content you were posting was not escaped properly and it caused a syntax error when bbPress tried to insert it into the database. I don’t imagine you have the text of what you were trying to post, do you? You could try posting it here and see if this errors out.

It’s possible with that old version that something was fixed in the latest release and it won’t occur here.

I just tried undeleting it, and now it posted fine. Maybe the server was having trouble the moment I originally published it? Very strange. Thanks for you help.
