Blog Post Linking Plugin Throwing Error for Some Pages /Posts

I have linked several WP pages and posts to my SP forum. There are now some WP pages where I added the link, then removed it and now it won't re-add the page and link to the forum.

On the WP page/post edit, it shows as if it created the link where you can click to "View Topic in Forum" or "Break Forum Link" but it doesn't create anything in the forum.

I checked the SP Toolbox Error log and it is throwing this error:

http://gyazo.com/4c296262caa17.....09c9b1a702

I tried checking the database and looking for transient database table entries, but couldn't find anything.

I also tried creating a new WP page with the exact same information and permalink and linking it to a different forum, but it still doesn't work.

But for WP posts and pages that I have not linked to the forum yet at all, it works fine...very weird.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think I need to work through this one step at a time to get a handle on what you are doing. So.

There are now some WP pages where I added the link, then removed it and now it won’t re-add the page and link to the forum.

Not quite sure of what you are saying here...

'Removed it': How? Did you remove the forum post as well? Did you remove the original blog post/page?
'Re-add the page': Not sure what you mean by this? Unless you did remove the page as asked above.

Can you explain those two first in a little more detail. The actual steps you took...

‘Removed it': How? Did you remove the forum post as well? Did you remove the original blog post/page?

I clicked the link in the WP page to for the plugin "Break Forum Link" to break the link.
I deleted the forum post.
I later tried to have the plugin create a new forum post linked to the WP page via the plugin in the WP page edit area.
No forum post created and error log as show in original post.

‘Re-add the page': Not sure what you mean by this? Unless you did remove the page as asked above.

I then preceded to re-create the entire WordPress page by creating a new WordPress (WP) page with all the same details (name, permalink, etc).
Tried to use the plugin, but keeps throwing error.
Created a new WP Post and WP Page with all the same information except different title and plugin works one time, then if I delete the forum post and break the link, it doesn't work anymore.

OK. Sorry to be real pedantic here but I am sure you understand that if I am going to set up a test it needs to be exactly the same as the issue being tested or I might miss something.

So let me just double-check:

Create a blog linked post
On WP Edit Post page, break the link.
Delete the forum topic (which will also remove the post)
Re-create the linked forum post from the same blog post

Does that cover it?

I am disappointed in the warning that was logged as it should have a descriptive message of the condition that failed. But I can tell you that the part of the process that failed was in the validation of permission to continue. I will need to look into the missing message text as a separate issue.

I can set up some tests as above to see if i can replicate any problems,.

That is pretty much it in a nutshell:

Create the link.
Break the link
Delete the forum topic. (However there were times when I did not complete this step and when I re-created the link, the WordPress page details showed up as another topic post in the thread until I deleted the forum topic.)
Re-create the link. At this point it may or may not have created the forum topic.

Here is the other oddity. I created two new WordPress pages with different titles, but the same page details and the plugin doesn't work. If I create new WordPress pages with completely different information, I can create the link to the forum, delete the forum topic, delete the link and re-create it as many times as I want and it works.

Is there anyway I can look in specific tables in the database for transient data being left behind?

I will set up some tests this morning. It is not something we have had reported before but then I suspect not many people would break a link and then try and recreate it. Although I see no reason why that should not work just fine. So I wil ltry it.

For reference there are two aspects to the database handling of links.

There is a column in the 'sftopics' table named 'blog_post_id' which holds - easy really - the ID of the blog post or page.
There is a table named 'sflinks' which controls and records all of the linking in the database. One look at that and the required columns are completely obvious!

I will let you know if I find anything of course.

One quick thought however. In the forum admin > Options > Content Settings there is an option to disallow a duplicate post. Basically this looks at the content of the last post the user made and if it is identical to the one being saved it gets rejected. Could his possibly be the reason for your last comment above? Might be worth checking to see if that option is turned on and if so turn it off for a test.

I'll take a look at the sflinks table in the morning; that might be the issue. I did not look at that table. I'll also look at the duplicate posts issue.

So you can visually see the error and how to happens for only some pages, I'll throw together a quick YouTube video too because I think it might be difficult to duplicate the issue.

Thanks!

Certainly my first quick set of tests have proven to be undramatically working as expected. But will keep digging.

I figured it out. The issue was SP permissions. I modified the permissions is specific forums so only the SP admin can add topics and even moderators cannot add topics; however, even though I was logged in with my SP and WP admin account, it wouldn't let me link the WP page to the forum. So I reverted the forum permissions to standard settings so anyone could post and it fixed the problem.

So lesson learned on my end is to lock down my specific forums after I have already linked the WP pages / posts to it.
