I recently ran a bunch of tests that involved clicking on the Update Topic button as I made changes to the discourse_publish snippet Every time, I’d see the green message: The Discourse topic has been updated! After a while, I only looked for the green color, until I finally realized the error message also has a green background. If possible, it would be nice to give errors a red background.

Sorry, can you provide a screenshot? I’m not following.

From the WP edit post screen: [image] The background for this message is green, but when there is an error message, it is also shown with a green background. I think it would be preferable if the backgrounds for error messages were a different color, perhaps light red, to highlight the fact that something is wrong.

Just got another error message from the WP Plugin and this one was on a red background. So either this has been fixed, or not all error messages are the same, or I had some kind of caching issue.

@angus I really wish I could, but I fixed the error as soon as possible and I don’t know how to recreate it. I’ll be on the lookout and grab it if I ever see it again.

I finally caught an error in green [image] If you want to duplicate that error, this is what I’m trying to do: if ( has_post_thumbnail( $post_id ) ) { $image = get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'medium' ); } else { $image = ""; } ?> EDIT: The mistake was the ?> at the end of the above code

Thanks for following up! So just to be clear, you are saying you can produce an incorrect error color; when using the discourse_publish_format_html filter in certain circumstances. On those circumstances, which of these is true: you’re always seeing the error in green when using the filter; or you’re always seeing the error in green when using the filter with the above snippet; or you’re sometimes seeing the error in green when using the filter with the above snippet Also, as you seem to have some other customisations (e.g. the 15 / 100 element), so just checking if you see any javascript errors in the web console when the incorrect color appears?

[image] angus: you’re always seeing the error in green when using the filter with the above snippet; or That one. The 15/100 is a faux SEO score which shouldn’t affect anything else. So, if the filter is incorrectly written (i.e. with an extra ?> that shouldn’t be there) the error message is incorrectly shown. Cheers, RIchard
