Hi,

I've created a new forum, but am unable to move it to the top of my list.
simplepress-forum-not_movable.pngImage Enlarger

I have repeatedly dragged to the right position, saved, and yet, upon page reload, it's back in this spot.

WP Version 5.1.1

SimplePress Version 6.0.6 

Can someone please offer suggestions as to how to fix?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi:

Can you check to see if there's a javascript error being thrown when you click the save button?

Thanks.

No JS error in the console or the Simple:Press error log

Hi:

Thanks for checking.  We'll try to dig into this more over the weekend and early next week and get back to you on it.  We added an issue report on github to keep track of this and will update it and you next week with what we find.  You can find a link to the github issue here: https://github.com/Simple-Pres...../issues/54

Thanks for the report.

Hi:

We've confirmed that this is an issue and have applied a fix for it that will go out in the next version.

For now, if you like, you can modify the file admin\panel-forums\support\spa-forums-save.php.

In that file, go to line 1156.  It should show as:

parse_str(SP()->filters->str($_POST['spForumsOrder']), $list);

replace that entire line with this:

parse_str(filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'spForumsOrder', FILTER_SANITIZE_URL), $list);

This is not the final fix.  The final fix involves creating a new function in our api files but this is less complicated to describe and will resolve the issue for you temporarily.  

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

This does resolve the issue. Forums are movable now
Thank you for the quick solution! Look forward to the permanent fix too.
