Good point about the spewing.  I'll turn off debug mode and will send you access credentials.

Thanks.

You can see by the referer that we can successfully get to http://wilmington.crimeboard.o.....php/forum/ just fine, but we get the 404 Not Found in response to GET /index.php/forum/unit-182f/ HTTP/1.1.

Does this suggest to you an area of the SimplePress code to look into, to see if it is being executed as expected or if there is some external factor preventing that?

A point of interest.  I just checked the Forum>Admins>Manage Admins and found that the account I created for you (and provided by PM) appears in the list of Current Admins but ALSO appears in the list of WP Admins but not SPF Admins.  That appears contradictory.  Does it indicate a problem in the database?

When you try to log in, we'll see if you are indeed a current SP admin or not.

I tried accessing a specific forum via permalink while not logged in to see if I would get a 404 or access denied. 

I got the 404.

 

It has been a long day.  I hope the cavalry is saddling up.

Did you try the default permalinks? The top one in the list that doesn't show /index.php/ ?

contradictory?  no, not at all...  sp admins are not wp admins and vice versa... which is why I asked for both capabilities... you add wp admins on forum - admins - manage admins...

just home from work, so will look around shortly...

I replied by email but then realized that doesn't show up here, so I copied and pasted my email below.

 

Great, thanks.

I understand that there are two types of admins, wp admins and sp admins.
Here is the contradiction that I still see.

Manage Admins is showing your spadmin user under "Current Admins" complete
with all the Admin Capabilities specific to SimplePress, so I conclude that
"Current Admins" is listing sp admins, not a wp admins.  You are also,
incidentally, a wp admin.

However, at the bottom of the page, your spadmin user is shown under "WP
Admins But Not SPF Admins."  The contradiction is that you ARE an sp admin,
as shown above.

In the wp_sfmembers table, your spadmin user shows a value of zero under the
admin column, but shows
a:4:{s:8:"sfnotify";b:0;s:12:"bypasslogout";b:0;s:15:"sfstatusmsgtext";s:0:"";s:10:"sfadminbar";b:1;}
under the admin_options column.  This made me think that perhaps the
database is not as it should be.  (I would have expected a value of one
under the admin column.  This might explain why you both are and are not an
sp admin, according to the Current Admins UI.)

All this is just speculation as to whether some database problem might be
related to the 404 errors.

reply by email works fine... you have to follow the directions...

I am having no issues getting around your site...

what is in your .htaccess file?

also, please confirm that on your server, you do not have a directory called forum in the wp root (say from a 3rd party forum app)...

No issues?  What happens when you go to the URL below, per post#3 in this thread?

http://wilmington.crimeboard.org/index.php/forum/unit-182f/

 

Contents of .htaccess:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

My server does not have mod_rewrite.  (Zeus, not Apache)  Worked fine before, though.  No changes to .htaccess.

There is no directory called forum in the wp root.

if you want to reply by email, note the instructions... remove everything above

[-- To reply by email insert your text above this line - instruction below --]

and add your reply above it...

no issues having wp admin and sp admin access... was not referring to the 404s...

yeah, understand no mod_rewrite... unfortunate stuck using old pathlinks, but should work...

has your host recently enabled mod_security?  since zeus, not likely since its probably only apache...
