Hi guys,
Dani here. Just installed SimplePress in my upcoming product members area.
So far so good... it seems like I'm getting familiar with it.
I've created roles, I've set up the permissions and all was good.
Now I'm logged in as a customer... I see my members area, I can access the private forum but when I click on every group/forum... I get an error page like 404 (Page not found).
What could be the issue? In my role management my group (Customers) has only Read and User Level (0) marked with green.
Any thoughts are appreciated here. You're saving a man's life right now!

not sure what you mean by Read and level 0?? those sound like wp terms, not sp... it doesnt matter if they are wp role of subscribers... what permissions have you given those members in the forum? for each forum, you need to assign a usergroup and a permission set to get a forum access... though that would be a message not a 404...
you can see the forum as admin? if not, try going to forum - integration - page and permalink and resetting the forum permalink...

I've installed the Role Manager plugin. As a member I can see the forums but can't access them. Also as admin I can see the forums but can't access them as well.

I can see the forum as admin. I'm at that section but cannot reset the permalinks. I don't see any reset button.
I think the permalinks are good... but something is wrong with the redirection or the creation of the pages/forums.
What could these be? Waiting for your answer which will be much appreciated. I really really want to solve this issue and create an awesome community for my upcoming product.
Thanks in advance.

In am confused a little. As Steve said - the forum admin > Integration > Page and Permalinl panel - about half way down - Update the forum permalink button. Please try this first.
Other common reasons for 404's are (a) the use of a redirection plugin (like the 'Permalink Redirect' plugin) for which you may need to exclude the forum slug; (b) Use of the 'Yoast WP SEO' plugin - for which you need to allow the use of what they call 'ugly permalinks'; (c) Some WP 'security' plugins which may disallow some urls. After that - of these are not the answer - then it might come down to .htaccess or server settings but that would be unusual.

Allright guys... got this thing fixed. I've researched the wiki a little bit and found this: The WordPress Rewrite Rules Need Flushin. This was the main issue. Got this problem fixed.
Now I want to change the link of Home.
Right now it's set to http://www.example.com/members/ which is not good. I want to be to http://www.example.com/members.....buttonome/
Anybody can help me with this one? Really appreciated.
Thanks

the link to the forum home page is the link of the wp page the forum is on... so if you want to change, you need to handle the structure in your wp set up, ie create a page called members and then a subpage home withe the forum page set as home...

Thank Mr. Papa for your fast reply.
My wordpress is installed on a main directory which is http://www.example.com/members/
When a members login to my members area he will be redirected to http://www.example.com/members.....buttonome/
The forum URL is currently set to http://www.example.com/members.....ome/forum/
Any topic that will be created will have the next permalinks:
http://www.example.com/members.....m/topic-1/
http://www.example.com/members.....m/topic-2/
http://www.example.com/members.....m/topic-3/
Page FORUM is a subchild of the HOME page so I really don't know why SimplePress has the HOME link set to http://www.example.com/members/ when it should clearly be to http://www.example.com/members.....buttonome/
Thoughts? Really appreciated.
Thanks

i am not sure what Steve (Mr Papa) was referring to above. The 'Home' button derives the target home url from the WordPress core function home_url() which exposes it. This returns the url that you have set up for the site in the WP admin > Settings > General page.
You can change this in the breadcrumbs by editing the display template - in thus case the sphead.php template in the /templates folder of your SP theme. The default display function for the breadcrumbs will probably look like this:
sp_BreadCrumbs('tagClass=spLeft spBreadCrumbs&tree=1', __sp('Home'));You can alter the home link by adding an argument to the url like this:
sp_BreadCrumbs('tagClass=spLeft spBreadCrumbs&tree=1&homeLink=http://your-home-url', __sp('Home'));Note this has to be correctly entered. Ampersand - no spaces and case of the argument name are vital.
As always we recommend that you create your own SP theme so that any customisation is not lost during a future update. (http://codex.simple-press.com/.....g-a-theme/)

lack of clarity... thought the OP was trying to have the url to the forum home page (not site) be something other than the wp page its on...
