You have a couple of serioius script errors so I hope the forum is all working OK.

where exactly are the errors?

do you think that is coz of transfer of files over filezilla? shud I re do it ?

No these errors are theme related.
You will be able to see them in the Firefox Error Console (Errors tab – ignore the other tabs)

All the same – SP uploaded using FileZilla does most usually fail to work correctly.

Theme related as in WP theme ?

yes, the wp theme (and perhaps plugin)….  its using featured content gallery which is known to conflict with wp because of mootools library usage which shares namespace with jquery which is heavily used by wp and plugins… plus it poorly loads all its stuff on every page load even when its not needed…

if you search this forum, you will find several, more wp friendly equivalents…

I reloaded the theme now…reinstalled it from scratch…

and I also deactivated featured content gallery 🙂

any difference now ?

nice custom icons!  but I am still seeing a couple of jquery errors and that chatroll thing really slows down the page loading…  is everything in the forum working?  the jquery errors usually prevent some js stuff from working…

not exactly sure where the jquery errors are coming from but both are in suckerfish stuff…  also there are some known sp and facebook connect issues… some get em working together fine, others have issues…

might be worth going to forum – wp integration – page and permalink and try disabling the loading of the forum js in the footer…

Everything in the forum is running smooth…

Its just when I change the permalink…it shows page not found

sorry, havent read whole thread… what happens?

I notice that you have a category (id 22) that appears to be forum too…  it cannot have same slug as the page you want (ie forum)…

also, have you experimented with third party forum apps (ie phpbb or other)? and perhaps still have a forum directory on your server?  it will conflict with the slug of forum…

nope I never tried experimenting with phpbb yet..

id22?? hmm which page is that ?

—-

and yeah I disabled JS loading in footer

not page id, but category id…  if the slug for that category (its listed on your nav menu) is forum, it may collide with a page slug of forum…

if you want to pm us a wp admin account with sp admin caps, we can take a closer look at what is going on…

when I try to change permalinks to
