“Invalid Post Type” when posting in group’s newsfeed

    Hi ! Here’s my problem : when I post something on the wall from a group, the post fails to be published and I just get this message : “Invalid post type”. My website was created 10 days ago and there’s nobody on it (that’s why I was trying to create content) so I don’t know about how this goes for the very few users I have. Kind of a pain, since the posts just completely disappear to let this message appear. I checked my settings and I could not find any parameter controlling some “Post Types”.

    Hi use WP version 5.0.3, installed straight from Softaculous on Siteground, so probably as a directory. Unless the updates are automatic in WordPress, I don’t think I upgraded WP from 5.0.2 since I started creating my site later than the release of the latest version of WP. I had no issues with WP before downloading BuddyPress and I only had one problem after I had : weird display of messages with some code visible in some places of the page. I didn’t get to test much though since the site is very recent. I’m running BuddyPress Version 4.1.0. I didn’t upgrade it since I created the site. I have many plugins activated. Here’s the full list : Antispam Bee; bbp style pack; bbpress Version 2.5.14; BP Better Messages; BuddyDrive; BuddyPress Create Group Types; BuddyPress Follow; BuddyPress Global Search; BuddyPress Member Type Generator; BuddyPress Security Check; Contact Form 7; Events Manager; Flamingo; Footer Putter; GEO my WP; Loginizer; Nested Pages; Orbit Fox Companion; Post Types Order (supposed to deal with order?); SG Optimizer; Sitewide Newsletters; Super Progressive Web Apps; Query Monitor (recently downloaded, after noticing the problem); The GDPR Framework; TranslatePress – Multilingual; Wordfence Security; WP Statistics; Wpworx FAQ; YellowPencil Pro; Yoast SEO; Youzer. I have a few other installed but deactivated plugins. I am using the theme Orfeo by ThemeIsle, a child theme from Hestia if I remember correctly. I didn’t modify the core files and I don’t think I have custom functions.
    I don’t know what system my server is running.

    Thanks in advance ????

    Hi there, I’d first try deactivating all plugins apart from BuddyPress and see if that works.

    Okay I’ll try that thanks ! Should I be worried of any issues after deactivating all the plugins ? Like losing data or settings ?

    Not from deactivating, some plugins delete their data if you delete them from the plugins page, but you aren’t doing that.

    So now you reactivate the plugins one by one until it stops working again, then you will have isolated the culprite. it’s a bit of a pain I know. The alternative is to activate half of them in one go and check if it’s stil working, that way you will have ruled out 50% of your plugins at once.

    Okay so the problem is linked to Youzer.
    I’ll try to see if Youzer is the only source, or if an incompatibility is the issue

    Youzer is the only problem. The problem is persistent no matter what other plugins are activated.

    Yep, I’d recommend you do a lotof testing. With a plugin list that’s long there’s bound to be other compatibility issues hiding. Here’s a tip: try https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-detective/ next time you spot a potential conflict. With a lot of plugins it really helps streamline the process of tracking down the offending plugin.

    Also, while you are in the startup stage turn on WordPress Debugging, there’s a plugin BWS Error Log Viewer – that will set up your error log and give you a simple way of viewing it, this will help you track the issues. WP DEBUG can cause a performnce hit for active sites so the general idea is to only run it on active sites if you are tracking a particular issue though to be honest one my sites with only a few hundred users I’ve not seen any issues with it on.

    Check out https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG for more info on debugging in WordPress.

    One last thing: don’t forget your JavaScript console in your browser, the WP Error log is for PHP errors in the WordPress back-end, the js console (right click on the page and Inspect Element) will show you any JavaScript Errors and messages.

    Okay the problem was stupid…
    I misinterpreted the “wall settings” in the youzer panel two weeks ago when I created the site, to be about members and not groups. Status posts and other post types weren’t enabled… That’s just ridiculously dumb. Problem solved x)
