I created a board, the board is available if I add a new idea.

The board is not visible anywhere and there is no shortcode for it.

Hi @rrgreene,

I am not sure about this one, I haven’t see this issue before.

Look one thing you can try, and sorry if it is a bit technical, but if you edit the main top level plugin file: ideapush.php and edit line 252 from:

‘show_in_menu’ => false,

to

‘show_in_menu’ => true,

You will then see under the IdeaPush menu a new item called “Boards”. You can then try and delete the existing board(s) and then try again.

Thank you,

[rrgreene]

Once I deleted and recreated it worked, thanks.

Hi @rrgreene,

Fantastic to hear and sorry you ran into the issue in the first place! Thanks ??

Seeing this same issue but deleting and recreating did not work – still don’t see a way to copy the shortcode. This is with PHP 8.

When I downgrade to PHP 7.4 then it works as expected.

Hi @codente,

Have you tried doing a plugin isolation test? So try deactivating all other plugins except ours and try again.

Can you also send a screenshot of the boards tab in the plugin settings so I can see what you are seeing?

Also when you created the board again, did you create the board from the plugin settings page in the boards tab? Or did you create it from the new menu that became available after the code change? It’s important you do this via the settings page.

My test site uses PHP 8 so it really shouldn’t be a PHP8 issue. BUT it’s possible that maybe another plugin is not compatible with PHP8 and this is causing an error in our plugin creating the board – so this is why I am asked initially to deactivate all other plugins, as it could be the compatibility of another plugin, or even your theme.

Thanks,

I have. I just replicated the issue again by resetting my site to default, with PHP 8 I get problems and these PHP notices and the one fatal listed: https://gist.github.com/codente/1a47fa36df99bb0f84821c7ace4d2892

With resetting the site and using PHP 7.4 it works properly.

Once I got it working, I couldn’t get it to break with PHP 8 when switching back to PHP 8, so perhaps you aren’t seeing it because it’s not a fresh install?

Hi @codente,

I think you are right. This is an initialisation error. I have released an update which should fix this for you. Thanks

@northernbeacheswebsites Yep, works now with PHP 8 on a fresh install :). Thanks!
