No, can’t say that it rings a bell. I haven’t seen this before. You might wanna try some debugging. E.g. Echo-ing the $_POST values for the questions.
You may as well have typed that in Arabic mate 🙂
Thanks for the reply though.
Without more information about what is sent to the server it’s hard to tell what the problem is.
One other thing you can try (without learning Arabic) is disabling all other plugins. And enabling them again one by one. Could be a conflict with one of them.
I don’t know how to see what is sent to the server though, but…
One person answered last week.
She entered Germany – this displayed correctly.
On Monday I entered mine (Brazil) – the number 0 displayed when saved; the previous entry had also reverted to 0 – as did anyone else’s that had entered in the meantime.
Absolutely nothing was changed on the site – nothing added or removed.
This is obviously a headscratcher; the option in Admin to even alter answers to questions is not there or I could change it there.
I had a similar plugin a while back that allowed you to display on a html page internally (or export to an excel file) anything that had been submitted. If anything went wrong you had that backup; I would be afraid of losing something by trying different things with yours so this might be something to consider if it’s not difficult to code. And as the answers to questions are displayed in the Admin backend I’m guessing not.
Also it is too close to the start of the World Cup to start messing around!
Thanks though for the answer – I have implemented a workaround (enter a number corresponding to a team, which means a long list in the question section, but it’ll have to do!)
If you’re afraid of losing data I suggest that you install a backup plugin. I do so myself and keep a 14 day history of db backups.
A tip: all changes to predictions are logged in the database in the newer versions of the plugin (2.4.0 and up if I remember correctly).
If data was once stored as a string (text) and suddenly they change into integers (numbers) without me changing anything in the site, it would freak me out 😉
Did you ask your hoster if they changed anything in their configuration?
Well I have an exact same site running on the same host – that one allows and stores written answers to the exact same question!
