Not showing new posts in dashboard

In the WP dashboard all the forum info is shown properly except for the new posts. Even the ‘There are no new forum posts’ info doesn’t show up.

 

Has this been reported before or do you see the same? I am wondering if it is just my setup or is it the same for all.

and you are sure you have no posts in the admin queue?  keep in mind if you are an admin, the list is your admin queue and not unread posts…  I think it falls back to unread if the admin bar plugin is not active…  do you use that plugin?

I had the admin bar plugin deactivated. Since I don’t use the queue stuff. If you are a member, ie registered, you can post anything without approval. If you are a guest you can read only.

 

Turning on the admin bar made it show me the two lines.

Admin Queue Posts
There are no new forum posts

So basically it appears that I need to activate that plug-in just to see new posts in the dashboard.

hmmm… okay, I will check… if admin bar deactivated, it should revert back to user post list vs admin queue…

the admin bar features a whole lot more than just approval… basically, it tells admins/mods what posts have never been addressed in forum… but no worries there 😉

hmmm…  appears I was wrong…

If no admin bar plugin… no dashboard queue or unread posts at all…

will need to evaluate if that’s what we really want…  but its the same as before, I think… admin queue enabled to get anything in dashboard…  we tried to expand it in 5.0 for non admins, but still requires the plugin…

will get back with you…

There is also an issue on the link when it does show a new post.

This is how it reads:

There is 1 new post in the forum topic:    How can I get true 5.1 surround sound with Slingbox Pro-HD using browser based or any other player???

Which is pointing to:

Ηttp://placeshiftingenthusiasts.com/forum/general-sling-box-discussions/#p5037

But should point to

Ηttp://placeshiftingenthusiasts.com/forum/general-sling-box-discussions/problem-with-post-edit-buttonow-can-i-get-true-5-1-surround-sound-with-slingbox-pro-hd-using-browser-based-or-any-other-player/#p5037

getting back on the original thing…  the only thing that is display is the admin queue…  so to get latest posts in the dashboard, you have to have the admin bar plugin active…  no admin bar plugin, no recent posts in the dashboard…

I will open a ticket and take a look at the actual url that is generated…  I know this was tested so a bit confused…  perhaps it has to do with not being on the first page…  anyways, thanks for heads up…
