Whenever a moderator or member tries to insert a link (bbCode editor) into a post they get the “Unable to save – You are not allowed to put links in post content”. They were allowed to before the upgrade to 5.0 upgrade. In the Forum control panel under the Options > Content Settings in the spam posts section, if I tick ‘Allow links in posts’ and click update, it goes right back to being unticked.
Have I overlooked something?
Another thing I just noticed is that my admins cannot get into the admin options.
by admins, do you mean sp or wp? the former is allowed to do so always…
but if you option is off, that would explain it… what message at top do you get when you save???
can you save any other options?
Just tested on couple test sites and the option saves fine for me, so not a general problem…
SP admins. They don’t get a message up top, they just get the red warning at the bottom that they are not allowed to put links in post content.
They can save a post with text or an image just fine, just not links.
I figured this was not a general problem, but what would not allow the ‘allow links in posts’ option to save?
No, admins are not susceptible to any of those kind of options or permissions… they have God like power…
saving any form in the admin should bring up a yellow box at the top with the status of the saving… if you are not getting that, should look for some js conflicts…
The admins are able to post links they just cannot use the admin options, it’s the regular members and moderators that cannot insert links.
I thought you were asking about the message on top of the screen for saving the post in the forum. I do get a settings updated message up top after I tick allow links in posts, but then it just goes right back to being unticked.
OK let’s see.
Start with those…
1. Restricted to this admin panel
2. First thing I checked for was conflicts and/or errors (even warnings); none that I can see in FF, Chrome, or Safari on both PC and Mac
3. Yes, that is correct. If I change it, then update it and navigate away and come back it still has not saved.
Post links filtering options will not save either.
Curious. No known or reported issues until now on this.
Can you go to the forum admin > toolbox > error log and clear it (button at the bottom).
Back to the problem admin panel. Change it and update. Back to error log to see if anything is reported there?
This is what I get after emptying the SP error log, and them attempting to save ‘allow links in posts options’.

This is most peculiar. It looks like you have an options record missing from the sfoptions table – but – if that is the case then it should be created after changes and an update.And the odd thing here is that there are no real error messages about failing to save it.
Do you have access to and know your way around your database?
Great – could you take a look in the ‘sfoptions’ table and see if you have a row with an option_name of ‘sffilters’ and if so copy and paste the option_value column here for me to look at?
One of the first places I looked….and that particular table row (sffilters) has an empty option_value column.
Curiouser and curiouser.
I wonder if you are trying to put something in there it doesn’t like which is causing a null value although – that really should produce an error message.
Any chance of a screen dump of that panel?
And if it is any help I can copy our data for that row and you could paste it in…?
