Points deduction without any reason

Hi @astahov006,

Events like “Delete a post” deduct points from the author and not the user who performed the action. Are you using the Expirations add-on? On the other hand, is it possible that you have some scheduled task that could be restoring the database? GamiPress does not include any functionality to automatically deduct points if there are no events that trigger that deduction.

Hi Dioni!

I have WP Telegram plugin installed that automatically publishes all posts from site to the telegram chanel and I noticed that when I delete post from telegram (not from the site) GamiPress whatever register that event like “Delete a post” although I think it’s wrong.

I also have WP Event Manager that automatically delists (although not delete) events from site. I assume that GamiPress trigger fires on that event too (although it’s not good).

By the way is there any way to find out what specific deleted post the GamiPress trigger was triggered on?

In GamiPress -> Logs you can review the Event trigger section where you can see the information related to the event launched.

It is possible that it is due to posts that are created with the telegram plugin and then deleted. If you have created an event that is Delete a post, you may be interested in using Delete a post of a type. This way the event would only be launched when posts of a specific type are deleted.

Yes, I’ll use “Delete a post of a type” option to prevent trigger to fire on Event post. That’s solution.

But it’s a pity that I can’t see in GamiPress -> Logs what specific deleted post was triggered.

Hi @astahov006,

Thanks for your feedback.

Have a nice day.

Hi Dioni!

I switched to Delete a post of a type but points deduction continues from time to time. Today at the same time as earlier 00:09 some points were deducted from me and one more user simultaneously without any reason. No one has deleted any posts and was not logged on site.

Hi?@astahov006,

This is really weird since GamiPress would only deduct points if events are set to deduct points. Is it possible that you have some custom code that could be throwing the event?

Have you tried to perform a conflict test? There is an explanation about how to perform this: https://gamipress.com/docs/troubleshooting/theme-and-plugins-conflict-test/

Hi Dioni!

This is definitely a bug of GamiPress because I do not delete any posts myself, but points are deducted from me. That’s logically misbehavior of GamiPress plugin.

We can see from activity log that the System itself not the user deletes some posts. I have no idea why and I can’t identify the posts deleted.

Here are the last examples:

Hi @astahov006

Seems that WordPress auto clean up are launching the delete post event since WordPress is deleting the draft, auto draft and trashed posts

Our team will add some checks to this event to prevent this happening so you will get this resolved in the next update

Many thanks. Waiting for the next update.
