this is fixed in version 6.4

@ma3ry

I have submitted a fix for this (Frontier Post ver 6.4, so I hope that the WordPress team will release the plugin very soon

I am sorry for the inconvenience this has caused

I have always made an effort to keep Frontier Post safe and secure, but I had made an error long time ago, that was found

I believe the risk of it being exploited is very low.

Hi,

Nothing that restricts to posts from Frontier Post only.

You can use other post types than “post” by using shortcodes:

https://wpfrontier.com/frontier-post-shortcodes/

frontier_add_post_type	 
Post type of the posts being added, default “post” – ex: frontier_add_post_type=”page”

frontier_list_post_types	
Comma-separated list of post types to be included in the list, default “post” – ex: frontier_list_post_types=”post,page”

@bnfw,

Suggest that you add instructions to setup SMTP in you documentation, if not there already (I couldn’t find it)

Did some checking and troubleshooting, and believe I got it working now, so if others run into the same problem it can possibly be solved without installing a smtp plugin:

Found a solution here:: https://seoneurons.com/wordpress/configure-wordpress-smtp/

So I updated wp-config.php and functions.php in my child theme as described:

wp-config.php:

// SMTP email settings (wp-config.php)
define( 'SMTP_username', '[email protected]' );  // username of host like Gmail
define( 'SMTP_password', 'gmail-app-password' );   // password for login into the App
define( 'SMTP_server', 'smtp.gmail.com' );     // SMTP server address
define( 'SMTP_FROM', '[email protected]' );   // Your Business Email Address
define( 'SMTP_NAME', 'Your from Name' );   //  Business From Name
define( 'SMTP_PORT', '587' );     // Server Port Number
define( 'SMTP_SECURE', 'tls' );   // Encryption - ssl or tls
define( 'SMTP_AUTH', true );  // Use SMTP authentication (true|false)
define( 'SMTP_DEBUG',   0 );  // for debugging purposes only

functions.php in child theme

// Emails settings in functions.php in child theme, values set in wp-config.php 

add_action( 'phpmailer_init', 'my_phpmailer_smtp' );
function my_phpmailer_smtp( $phpmailer ) {
    $phpmailer->isSMTP();     
    $phpmailer->Host = SMTP_server;  
    $phpmailer->SMTPAuth = SMTP_AUTH;
    $phpmailer->Port = SMTP_PORT;
    $phpmailer->Username = SMTP_username;
    $phpmailer->Password = SMTP_password;
    $phpmailer->SMTPSecure = SMTP_SECURE;
    $phpmailer->From = SMTP_FROM;
    $phpmailer->FromName = SMTP_NAME;
}

What exactly solved it, I do not know, but it could be one of the following:

1: SMTP authentication was added, du not believe it was used before

2: TLS encryption was added

3: My website is at simply.com, and I added their smtp server: websmtp.simply.com

My site is a small closed site, used for News, Calendar & Collaboration between about 20 golf players, so not a lot of activities. The site has activated: “Discourage search engines from indexing this site”

Notifications are sent on new posts and new comments.

What versions (WP & PHP) are you running:

Go to frontier settings, it is listed on the first row.

You might have another plugin interferring, as you are the only one reporting this.

You might want to turn logging on temporary:

In wp-config.php, add these 2 lines before

/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);

Then try and recreate, and see if there are errors in the log.

remember to set the logging to false, when you are done.

The update should not have broken Frontier Post.

I have actually done quite some testing the past couple of day, and the only challenges was with php 8, not 6.0.2

I just uploaded a new version 6.0.0, but it is not the Stable version yet.

You can see description here:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/version-6-0-0-tested-with-wp-6-0-2-php-8-available/#new-topic-0

Hmmm – PHP 8 requires some changes, that requires some testing.

Will work on it

you can set it to 99999 in the settings, that would be 273 years….

No it is not abandoned ??

I did upgrade one of my test sites to php 8, but ran into problems.

I do not believe it was due to my plugins, but haven’t had it enough time to investigate – I believe my host had some problems with php 8.

I will do some more testing on all my plugins, and update so they are tested for version 6.02

I do not expect I need to make any changes though

You made this under Frontier Post, but you write Frontier Query….

You can use shortcode parameter frontier_list_cat_id

Check shortcode documentation:
https://wpfrontier.com/frontier-post-shortcodes/

Yes I will update my plugins

Have to install a new version contol app, as the old one doesn’t work any more

Will post when ready

There is no new answer from you on the other post

You can use my other plugin: Frontier Buttons to control button layout

Hi,

You got a point.

Challenge is that I do not have a plugin to test managing capabilities externally and this hasn’t been reported before, so I need to look deeper into this.

If you are comfortable to edit the php files of Frontier Post, you can do the following change (remember to take a copy of the file first):

1: Locate plugins/frontier-post/include/frontier_post_util.php
2: Find the function: frontier_post_wp_editor_args (around line 820)
3: Change this if statement:

From:

if ( fp_get_option_bool("frontier_post_external_cap") )

to:

if ( false ) 

This should work

Let me know if it works, and I will add it to the next stable version.
