I had an emergency to deal with so I'm only just getting back to looking at this.  The site rollout is going to be very delayed unfortunately because of this problem.

In response to Mr Papa's post # 9:

ls -ltr in the wp-content directory looking at sp-resources gives:

drwxr-xr-x 11 apache apache 4096 Apr 18 23:50 sp-resources (this is the same as all the other directories such as 'uploads' and 'plugins' in that directory).

ls -ltr in the sp-resources directory looking at forum-themes gives:

drwxr-xr-x 5 apache apache 53 Apr 18 23:51 forum-themes (this is the same as all the other directories such as forum-language and forum-cache in that directory).

Please note as I mentioned in my post prior to Stephens comment I had already completely de-installed and re-installed the plugin (<edit> including making sure all the 'sf' tables were deleted from the database).  If there is any assistance you can give I would very much appreciate it.

<edit>  Note also that I went and dug out an old test site - WP 3.8.1 and SP 5.4.1 - it was fine.  I upgraded that site to WP 3.9 - checked the forum (still running SP 5.4.1) it was fine.  I upgraded SP 5.4.1 to 5.4.2 using the 'upgrade' option for SP, followed the prompts to upgrade the DB etc, and that site ended up with the forum all messed up just like my primary site.

that really doesnt tell us the gid and uid...

can you change the ls -ltr to ls -ltrn so we get the numeric gid and uid listed?  and want to compare them for wp-content to sp-resources and forum-themes

ls -ltr in the root directory shows this for wp-content:

drwxr-xr-x 7 48 48 113 May 3 21:35 wp-content (the 7 is the # files in the directory, 48 and 48 presumably are the GID and UID).

ls -ltrn shows sp-resources as being the same as wp-content and also the same as the other directories in wp-content:

drwxr-xr-x 12 48 48 4096 Apr 26 02:31 sp-resources 

ls -ltrn shows forum-themes as being the same as wp-content and also the same as the other directories in sp-resources:

drwxr-xr-x 5 48 48 53 Apr 18 23:51 forum-themes

<edit:  just for completeness:  id -u apache gives 48, id -g apache gives 48 also.>

looking back through this thread, dont believe I see a link to your site... can you provide one please?

asking because we recently had on site do something similar but was traced to theme or plugin loading the bootstrap js library which conflicts with the wp jquery ui library unless loaded before jquery ui...

as mentioned we have a large number of users on Genesis so not a general issue there... though have not heard of the Dynamic child theme...  is it free?

Ok, this appears to have been caused by dynamik 1.4.2 - I have just upgraded to dynamik 1.5 and it works.  Note it didn't work just by upgrading to dynamik 1.5 - I had to uninstall, delete all the 'sf' tables, delete all the directories, re-install from scratch (again).  However it now works.

As we have said, many plugins needed updating to cope with WP 3.9.

This sounds more like an ordering thing. WordPress loads plugins in the order in which they have been activated and this can, sometimes, cause conflicts. Sometimes changing that order can resolve issues but that can be really hard to determine - sometimes more a matter of luck.

So what you have done is change the order which may actually have been the solution.

Unless there is actually some sort of extremely rare corruption in many of the plugin files there is absolutely no reason and nothing to be gained by reinstalling Simple:Press. The only thing it will change is the order that WP  loads plugins and that can be achieved simply by deactivating plugins and then reactivating them again.

But - as I said - ordering can be really hard to sort if causing a problem because often the permutations are just too big!
