Discussion Issue
9 replies · Started by Pat on April 1, 2019
I received notification that there was a post submitted on my discussion board but after I approved it, I wasn't able to see it on the front end. I was able to read the post and even offer a response on the back end but I can only see my original post on the front end. Does that make sense? I'm baffled by it! I hope you can help.
Thanks

Hi there,
Are you referring to the default WordPress comments system?
If so is there a specific post I should be looking at?
If you go on my website, It's the section on the bottom of the page where it says: Let's Connect. If you click on that, you will see my comment but not the person whose comment I approved.
I created this so long ago, I can't really remember if it was part of my theme or something else. Can you tell?
Thanks
Pat
It looks like it's just a regular page with comments enabled.
I'm seeing a comment from you, but it doesn't seem to be a reply to anyone?
The original link I clicked on looks like it was meant to go to a bbPress forum, but then I was redirected. Are you sure the comment is connected to this "Let's Connect" page?
On the back end, on the left panel, there is a section called 'comments'.right under the section called 'pages'. That's were I can see the new post.
I haven't used bbPress in quite awhile.
Does that make sense?
Does the comment tell you which page it's attributed to? If so, if you click on that page, does the comment show up?
I tried to paste a screen shot but it doesn't look like I can upload it here.
When I look at the comment in the back end, it says 'view page' - when I click on that, it takes me back to the 'let's connect' page with just my original post.
Hmm, seems something is confusing WordPress.
Any caching plugins or server caching? Any redirects? What happens if you disable all of those?
I have no idea what I did - but I played around with the plugins and voila! I can now see the post by the new person. Thanks.
Awesome :)
