Try the development version. It’s compatible with WordPress 3.5.1.
Hi loginid,
Cannot for the life of me see any reason for this happening. I will probably need a login to solve this one.
I’m calling it a night but email me on abruinATihugDOTcomDOTau and I will follow it up tomorrow.
Also could you confirm that the admin-ajax.php request header component ‘wpuf_post_status’ contains the same value that was set in the post status field.
Response is OK.
Did you check if all other fields besides category and post status update ok?
Thanks Aaron!
Forum member qzha017 was also interested in helping on this as he posted on my development thread.
Tareq’s very busy with the new Pro version of Frontend (I gave him a long list of recommendations) so it be good if you guys could figure this out.
One workaround could be to use an earlier version of PostExpirator but WordPress 3.5.1 compatability could be an issue.
Hi loginid.
One other question. Is your WordPress server local or remote
Hi loginid.
In Firefox check for errors as follows (I’m being specific because I want to reuse this for others)
1. First try your problems to see if they still occur in Firefox.
2. If you don’t have it already get Firebug. Add it to Firefox, then restart Firefox.
3. If so click on the Firebug icon (on my Firefox it’s on the top right of the browser top) or alternatively invoke it from the menu Tools->WebDeveloper->Firebug
4.
i) Select The Firebug “Console” tab.
ii) In Firebug select the “Persist” option near the top left of the firebug window.
iii)Load the Frontend Edit Post page.
iv) Select the Firebug “Clear” icon to clear the Firebug screen.
v) Change the Frontend Post Status.
vi) Click on the FrontEnd “Update Post” button.
vii) Check the Firebug “Console” window for errors5.
i) Next select the Firebug “Net” tab.
ii)Again use the “Persist” option.
iii)Load the Frontend Edit Post page.
iv) Select the Firebug “Clear” icon to clear the firebug screen.
v) Change the Frontend Post Status.
vi) Click on the FrontEnd “Update Post” button.
v) In the Firebug “Net” tab click on the “Edit Post” Firebug list item.
vi) Then click on the “POST admin-ajax.php” item just below.
vii) Click on the “Response” tab to view the response XML.There actually is a response but google chrome doesn’t pick it up for some reason. Firebug does if you could try this. It’s important!
The version of TheStyle you have got is earlier so I have a look at the changelog to see if it gives me a clue.
Forgot to ask you to check if the Response tab had any content (it shouldn’t)
Not sure about the Style but the bug was different. Could you look at the file wp-content/themes/TheStyle/changelog.txt and tell me the version number of the last change at the top.
Hmmm,
Try the following just to make sure the data is being sent correctly.
In Chrome do the following
1. Go to your edit post screen
2. In Chrome Developer Tools select the Network tab.
3. Select the “Clear” icon which should be the sixth icon from the bottom left.
4. Select the “Preserve Log on Navigation” icon which should be the icon next to the “Clear” icon
5. change the post status and update the post
6. Scroll to the top of the Network screen and you should find the file
admin-ajax.php listed.
7. Click on admin-ajax.php.
8. Check the contents of the “Request Payload” item “wpuf-post-status”That’s really strange as I am running it on one of my test beds with a default WordPress 3.5.1 installation and a Twenty Twelve theme.
Firstly is the category problem fixed by the above tests?
What browser(s) have you tried it on?
Could you try it on FireFox with the Firebug addon. See if any error messages appear in the Firebug console tab.
Alternatively if you have Google Chrome select Tools->Developer tools and then on the Developer window select console and try again
Thanks loginid for your bug report. They are always useful because it’s pretty much hard to test everything from our end so things do go astray.
Strangely enough you initial post did get me thinking about one problem with drafts I hadn’t thought about which was as you outlined but without a post status field.
However with the additional info your installation is reporting problems we don’t have.
A child category in WordPress is a category with a parent category. The categories shown in the category list can be both types.
Generally problems like this are caused by themes and other plugins so try the following tests to see if it fixes the problem.
1. Set the theme to a standard WordPress theme such as 2010 or 2011.
2. Deactivate all other plugins.
3. Test as admin.If that works start working backwards to locate the source(s) of the problem(s).
Report back to us the results and include the version of WordPress you are using.
Yes gpspake has written another fork with multiple forms.
Also Tareq (author of this plugin) has written a FrontendPro version which has multiple forms using a much better technique and is extremely customizable. It is still being developed but should be released soon.
Otherwise from your last message I gather that you only want to set a category and not give the user a list of categories to choose from?
If that is so then with the development version you may be able to do what you need along the lines of the showtime example in the examples directory which uses a complex example with taxonomies but is easily adaptable.
Options:
Allow to choose category?: Untick
Default post category: whateverHowever given this users can’t select another category
4.3 Is correct. Edit Post only has one response if the update is successful and that is it (Add Post is a lot more verbose). Edit Post doesn’t change the status of the post unless the post status field is allowed and the user changes it. However in the case the post status field is not enabled it would make sense to set the post status to the default if the current post status is draft.
On my part up to now no thought has been given on how to handle blog post rejections (or on WordPress for that matter) as most of our effort has been spent on porting rear end WordPress functions to the frontend. It is certainly worth a thought.
What do you mean by child category?
