Hi @tigroumeow:

Yup, using the filters is exactly what I did to handle the issue I was trying to resolve. But unless someone digs into the code they wouldn’t know the filters exist. In that case they’ll be stuck with using WP built in roles instead of being able to define their own custom roles.

Seems a shame to not allow admins to be able to use the roles-and-capabilities system flexibly the way it was designed.

Happy to push a PR for it since I’m sure you’re busy – I just don’t know if there’s a public git repo somewhere.

Thanks.

Looking at the code it looks like it’s checking for roles instead of capabilities. It’s checking for the ‘editor’ role which means that custom roles cannot be defined and used with the plugin.

In the function can_access_features(), please consider checking for a capability instead such as ‘edit_posts’?

Similar for administrator – instead of checking for the ‘administrator’ role in the can_access_settings() function, maybe check for something like ‘manage_options’ or the super admin capability (multisite)?

Thanks.

I figured out this issue. Needed to add the following to the nginx configuration.

• fastcgi_read_timeout 600;
• fastcgi_send_timeout 600;
• fastcgi_connect_timeout 600

Otherwise the nginx default of 60 seconds resulted in timeouts.

Hi:

I think the issue is this one – I’m seeing it in the debug.log file:

PHP Notice: Undefined index: postStatus in /var/www/mydomain.com/html/wp-content/plugins/ai-engine/classes/rest.php on line 669

(I’ve replaced the actual domain with ‘mydomain.com’ in the above path.

Running php 7.4. Does it need a later version?

I tried specifying both a postid and leaving it blank when using the SINGLE GENERATE option.

Does this help suggest a possible cause?

Thanks.

Sweet – glad I didn’t have to go through the usual WP troubleshooting process.

We’re just navigating to the front page (or the wp-admin dashboard).

If you’re not seeing this on your side then it could be caused by an interaction with one of the other installed plugins.

Guess we’ll have to troubleshoot to figure out which one.

It took me a while to realize something – you’re correct.

I have a premium plugin installed on my site called “Admin Bar” which centralizes some of the moderator notifications. With that removed, the admin/moderator will need to respond in the thread directly.

Thanks.

Are you trying to add the same users as admins and moderators? That might not work – you can remove them from the admins area and then see if they show up in the MANAGE USER GROUPS area.

If you’re unable to see users in the MANAGER USER GROUPS area it is possible there’s a JS error being thrown – can you take a look at your browser console to see if there are any error messages?

Moderators should be able to approve new posts, not just admins.
Have you added the user who should approve posts to the MODERATORS group?
You can do so under FORUM -> USER GROUPS-> MANAGE USER GROUPS

Hi:

It looks like you’re running some premium plugins. Only the core plugin right now is 8.1 compatible. We’re still working on the premium addons (there’s over 70 of those so it’s taking a while)

If you disable the premium add-ons (from the forum->plugins screen) do you still run into issues?

Also, since you’re running premium add-ons you should use our site for support (www.ads-software.com doesn’t like us doing premium support here – it’s against their rules). But, if you disable the premium plugins and still run into issues we can handle that here if you wish.

Thanks.

Hi:

Since you’re not using the premium plugins it probably shouldn’t matter that much for your use case. All you need are the files from the current dev branch on github.

Here’s a direct link that will download them as a .zip:

https://github.com/Simple-Press/simple-press/archive/refs/heads/dev.zip

Thanks.

Closing because there was no response to our query above.

If you’re not using any add-ons, you can grab the dev branch from github and use it on php 8.0:

https://github.com/Simple-Press/simple-press/tree/dev

If for some reason you find any issues that show up in 8.x and not in 7.4, please log an issue on github here: https://github.com/Simple-Press/simple-press/issues

Thanks.

Hi:

We’re working on it. Core is almost ready but we have 70+ addons that we have to handle before we can release it.

Thanks.

Hi – can you clarify what you mean by the forum titlebar? An image indicating where you believe the featured image should show up would be really helpful.

Also, please let me know which simple-press theme you have active (not the wordpress theme).

Thanks!
