updating a site from 7.0.x to 7.1.4...
found another issue,
the site (which was left on shelf for a year) built up a fair number of spam account users.
Im trying to remove these but am not able to delete any members!!!
I can deactivate members, but not remove them. The 'delete spammer' button also does nothing.
any ideas?
|
tell a lie, I cannot deactivate them either!
Ban works but really, I want to scrap them altogether!

LOL> I have only banned one member to my site since I started it almost ten years ago. As far as deleting the occasional spammer, always seemed to work fine for me. I am using 7.14. http://towtalk.net ... Hosted by Zarconia.net! |
completely does not work for me. The member control options in admin other than 'ban' do nothing. Works on a clean install, not on an upgraded site. |
you must have missed something on the upgrade... file didn't get over written or something... |
upgrades are straight overwrites though, then deleting files. just upload / overwrite whatevers in the upgrade files, then run the script. Delete the files it says to delete... clean cache etc...
not much can go wrong, no space for not overwritting anything as its a bulk lot of files you upload.

Did you upgrade to 7.1.1, then 7.1.2, then 7.1.3 then 7.1.4? I would have stepped through each version completely before moving to the next upgrade... |

Ah, but you would be surprised how often it happens. Especially if FTP is used and it happens most often with files in the ect folder due to a improper reversal of permissions when dolphin was installed. FTP errors during transfer also sometimes occur preventing a file from being uploaded, or only partially uploaded resulting in a damaged file. It happens more often than you may think.
A user delete is done with a ajax call, and a error is most likely occurring. You will not see it happen. One of the draw backs of the use of ajax. So i would start with shutting off all caching. Clear the cache manually. Leave the cache off. Then try to delete a user, then check the php error logs for the most recent errors.
Also check for Javascript error that are occurring when you click the button. Firefox has a error console for that. So bring up the error console then click the button and see if any errors occur.
