here is my error log from within simple:press, please have a look and let me know if there is anything you can tell me about these entries:

Another issue:

go to: Integration => Page and Permalink:

I would really like to be able to manually set the current permalink to http://www.die-kellerkinder.eu/ as the forum page that contains the forum is set as the front page so I would have duplicate content as http://www.die-kellerkinder.eu/ would have the same content as http://www.die-kellerkinder.eu/forum/

see screen shot please: http://screencast.com/t/RrIh3ODnW

see screen shot pelase: http://screencast.com/t/prCYCk2rg1

I could work around it by redirecting http://www.die-kellerkinder.eu/forum/ to http://www.die-kellerkinder.eu/ but wouldn’t it be nicer to have this option built into simple:press?

And here comes the last and most important issue:

none of my users who isn’t a moderator can access any parts of the forum.

here are screens of a sample user: 

http://screencast.com/t/qKbl3vaTcA

http://screencast.com/t/a1bcZ21oVIXj

http://screencast.com/t/uOwz8YR5t

http://screencast.com/t/7cyTG9AkRW

The user is in the proper user group. the user group has the proper rights upon several forums and still he doesn’t see anything 🙁

P.S. Just realized that my permissions are all empty. During the update they must have been lost. is there a way to restore the default permissions? I had not changed them, see here: http://screencast.com/t/jCD8qalTl 

Hm… I see you have the exact same issue I have with the blank permissions… Also lost in a 4.x > 5 migration. I wish there were a “reset to defaults” button for the permissions. Either that, or a template file (even a picture would do) to copy the settings over manually.

Good luck on ironing out your other issues!

(PS: quite the cheeky title for the forum you have…)

thanks for confirming the issue.

can someone post screen shots of the default permissions? that would at least get me started again aside from the other probs.

what forum title? “Die Kellerkinder” ? We’re a group of friends who started playing role playing and computer games in a friends cellar about 15 years ago, hence the name of “The cellar-kids” 🙂

Haha! Clearly a case of “honi soit qui mal y pense” (I thought it was a variant of Rammstein’s Wiener Blut – I think you know what I’m referring to, right?) Oh well. That should remind me that a cigar sometimes really is a cigar!

Now, onto the screenshots:

That’s it. I have a localhost server copy of the site, and I just reinstalled a fresh copy of SPF and took the snapshots from there.

Bottom line: thank you for pointing me to the cause of a baffling problem!

Just remember that SP plugins you use (if you have them installed & active) may add additional permission capabilities not shown above.

LOL, in this case a cigar is indeed a cigar 🙂 

I am not into hard rock so I wasn’t aware of Rammstein’s lyrics. 

Thx for the screens, that fixed it temporarily for me but I need to check the permissions again since v. 5.0 adds a lot more…

Those are v5 permissions. They don’t show the permissions of ALL plugins though (not everybody has them installed & active)

oh and here is another issue:

I’d like to get rid of the part marked with red or at least de-clutter it as much as possible but I can’t find any options to do so. I am sure there are some, can someone point me in the right direction? http://screencast.com/t/9nID4pg4LtVM

gotcha! thanks 🙂

I wonder of the permissions got screwed when the update faltered. Possible.

The bit in red is basically all of the spHeader.php template in the forum theme you are using. So just comment it out. As always we do recommend making your own theme to avoid losing changes in a future update.

Thanks, will make a copy of the theme and customize it.

would you mind checking my other posts in this thread? 

I know the problems aren’t related but they happened all during my upgrade so I thought I’d keep them in this one thread 🙁

and here is another one:

if I chose the plain text mode for writing it all works. 

if I chose rich text tinymce it looks like this: http://screencast.com/t/YQic9yV9 but you simply can’t click into the field where you are supposed to write.

if I chose plain the bbtext version clicking on reply brings this up: http://screencast.com/t/odLlcXr7 

do you think these problems are related to an error I had when uploading those two plugins warning me about some probs with open_basedir restrictions, could it be possible the upload failed partially?

here is another related error from my logs:
