Those are sanitization concerns if not done properly, we have taken pains to secure those functions.

Hi all, I have a patch coming out now that should resolve this.

Hi,

After some considering I’m not sure what could have caused the problem. The best course of action is to remove the existing PF options and re-set them once they’ve been cleared.

You can access MySQL via PHPMyAdmin or the Commandline and use these queries (correct for the name of your wp_options table where needed.

SELECT * FROM 'wp_options' WHERE 'option_name' LIKE '%pf_%';

To double check that you’re getting the right options to delete. If you’re only getting PressForward options prefixed with pf_ then you can run the following command to remove them. Next time you log in, the PressForward options will all be reset to default.

DELETE FROM 'wp_options' WHERE 'option_name' LIKE '%pf_%';

Hi Rshirazi,

That is very odd, some screenshots would indeed help. So you’re saying you no longer have access to the Preferences page as a top-level admin for the site? And did you have the Advanced User Control setting “Use advanced user role management?” in PF’s preferences enabled before?

I would recommend installing the Option Tree Plugin, HOWEVER:

It sounds to me like the specific theme is badly implementing the OT code in a way that it isn’t being set to fire correctly on the admin tree page.

If that was the only problem, then installing the plugin would solve that.

However, that problem is in, and of itself, indicative of generally bad practices on the part of the theme developer, so installing the plugin may cause the whole theme to crash, if they have not boxed it into the theme properly. My advice is test installing the plugin, theme and pressforward on a site before deploying the set up to your live server.

Hi Scottosx,

Sorry I missed this until now. That is an important issue! Can you provide a link to one of these feeds so I can experiment with it?

Hi CaptainCoffee,

We’re building out support for allowing feeds to auto-publish, they do not currently do so.

All RSS feed input that isn’t nominated is automatically deleted after 2 months (or a period you specify in the preferences area), which should solve the issue of point 1.

Keep an eye out for when that feature launches for 2!

Hi Hypnoscribe,

PressForward doesn’t import images and currently doesn’t have an option to do so, with the exception of the designated featured image. We don’t want to mass load images on to someone’s site, possibly crashing a server or taking up too much space, which could happen if we imported all images.

If you update PressForward, Nominate This now has support for more site configurations and a more understandable error. Try it out and tell me what it says now.

Hi all,

Thank you for helping each other! The latest version of PressForward (3.8) has significant patches that fix this problem among others.

Give it a try and all these issues should be solved.

Hi Nstoll,

Do you have any custom user role plugins running?

We have an option in the Preferences area to support them that you can check.

It will also help if you have the latest version of PF (3.8), as it has added additional user role detection and support.

Thanks Julie!

The latest update (3.8) should solve this problem.

This sounds to me like a problem with a mismatch between the latest version of Options Tree and your Theme that is getting triggered somehow by PF? Is your Option Tree plugin fully updated? Or your theme? It sounds like the problem lies there.

Thanks for posting the solution!

Jericho,

Does this error occur on theme or plugin activation or on a specific page?

-Aram

Yes, it sounds like a conflict with that specific plugin. That said, it sounds from your error report that you are behind an update on Simple Lightbox and also behind a version on PressForward. Try updating both first.
