Quick question, can you update it from the front end?
Hi @robin-w,
It doesn’t make any difference. The update doesn’t complete.
ok, so in the backend if I create a topic with a title of ‘test’ and this content
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
hello
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Then it publishes all fine.
Does that work for you, and if so, can you give me exact steps to recreate problem.
Also able to edit that topic so changed hello to goodbye and it updated fine
Hi @robin-w,
This topic saved, but viewing it showed the following page:
About Holland Numerics: Blog and Forums. › Forums › test 1

There has been a critical error on this website.
Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress.
topic: test 1
ok, so you should have got an email saying what the specific error is, did you get this?
I have checked Junk too, but no emails have been received.
I presume they would have been sent to the Admin email address.
FYI I also created a topic “test 2”, that includes “hello”, but no table tags:
topic: test 2
The response is the same as with topic “test 1”.
- I have tried Troubleshooting mode, with no active plugins.
- Activated bbPress, then bbp style pack.
- Topic “test 1” now displays, but body shows “This topic is empty”, even though the HTML tags are seen when the topic is edited.
Do I need to activate more plugins?
I have the following bbp-related plugins installed:
bbp-valoration

bbp style pack

bbp User Ranking

what are your wordpress and bbpress user levels?
eg
admin and bbp-keymaster
Subscriber and particiapnt
etc
Wordpress membership levels:
Free = Subscriber
Programming = Student
Recruiter = Employer
Admin = Administrator
Educational Games = Customer
Wordpress roles:
Subscriber
Student
Employer
Administrator
Customer
Keymaster
Participant
views_subscriber
views_student
bbPress Private Groups:
Group1 = Registered
Group2 = Programming
Group3 = Recruiter
Group4 = Admin
Group5 = VIEWS UK
Group6 = Educational
Group7 = No messages
thanks, and for your testing, what combination are you using?
I’m not asking you to try others levels, just getting your tests and my tests to be the same !
Only Admin / Administrator / Group4
ok, but what about the bbpress role?
so in dashboard>users you will see a column showing the bbpress role
Sorry, I missed Keymaster for Forum Role.
Plus extra plugins added, but no change to what is seen when viewing the topic:
bbPNNS Private Groups Bridge
bbP private groups
GD bbPress Tools
powerSearch for bbPress
and Classic Editor and Groups
ok, so this on my test site with just bbpress and style pack, using admin and keymaster roles publishes fine
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
hello
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
do you still get a critical error with this combination, and if so I still need the exact error it produces
ok, I’m a bit lost as to what your testing is showing.
The essence of fault finding is taking a setup that works and finding the difference between that and one that doesn’t work.
so I have a test site working with bbpress and style pack and nothing else. If your site with that same setup doesn’t work, then we can find the difference.
If it does work, then yes adding back plugins until it fails is a good strategy, but until we are both seeing the same, then it is not doing much good?
Sorry, I will go back to just “bbPress” and “bbp style pack”, which currently shows the body “This topic is empty”.
However, my original issue with “There has been a critical error on this website.” occurred when the only users that could read this page were in Group5 = VIEWS UK, so maybe we should both add “bbP private groups” too?
Are you using Troubleshooting Mode to restrict the active plugins like me?
we have 2 issues I believe :
1. An issue where IF a topic/reply contains table tags (eg. <table>, <tr> etc.) then on update the post does not save?
2. an issue where you are getting a critical error.
I would suggest we tackle these one at a time, so maybe see if we can fix the <table> issue first.
FYI in issue #1 the post, when viewed, is empty whether the body contains table tags or not:
test 1:
<table><tbody><tr><td>hello</td></tr></tbody></table>
test 2:
hello
This is in Troubleshooting Mode with only bbpress and bbp style pack active.
ok, I think we need to start again as I was working on the assumption that the problem was with tables, not with just text.
so in Live
1. If you post just text on the FRONT end – does it work?
2. If you just post text in the BACK end – does it work?
3. If you update that text with just text in the FRONT end – does it work?
4. If you update that text with just text in the BACK end – does it work?
For certainty
the FRONT end is where users would post, just as you are posting on this site
The BACK end is where you go via Dashboard>topics
- Posting just text on the FRONT end saved, but can’t be viewed.
- Posting just text on the BACK end saved, but can’t be viewed.
- Cannot update post from the FRONT end.
- The updated post can be saved on the BACK end, but can’t be viewed.
Note that the vast majority of forum topics are created or updated by me on the BACK end. The FRONT end is rarely used for posting or updating.
