This is something I have not seen before and there is something clearly not quite right, You will note that the forum and sub-forum in question are both being displayed with the same forum name. I take it that this is not the case.

is there any chance you could delete that specific sub-forum (with the one post) and re-create it?

Thanx for the reply.

I deleted the sub-forum and the post, re-created the sub-forum and tried to send the post again into the forum with the same result “Access denied – you do not have permission to view this page”. This is not good, as i´m counting, big time, on this feature to work correctly so i can add more topics to the forum and maybe get it started.

Sorry – what ‘feature’ are you referring to exactly please?

The feature i´m referring to is, the option that allows me to link a post to a forum. The plugin that allows for this is, Blog Post Linking. I don´t know if the plugin is malfunctioning or the Simple press forum, but in any case, if i link a blog post to the forum and try to view it in the forum, i get this message “Access denied – you do not have permission to view this page”.

There may well be an issue we will have to address there but at the moment the post in the sub-forum is just muddying the waters.

What we need to get to the bottom of first is the sub-forum itself. I note all of the other sub-forums were behaving so it may well be blog-linking related but if we can leave that out of the equation to begin with it would be helpful.

What I really need to know is when you removed and then re-created that sub-forum – with NO posts in it – did it display correctly, have the right name and the correct url?

I already deleted the sub-forum and recreated it and i can access it, as you can see for yourself http://bjorspjall.is/forum/islenskir-bjorar/, but as soon as i link a blog post into this sub-forum, i get the “Access denied – you do not have permission to view this page”. Currently, there isn´t anything in the sub-forum. I also tried to link a blog post to ANY forum and i get the same result, so this problem isn´t linked just to the sub-forum islenskir-bjorar.

That’s good news and what I wanted to establish first and means we can focus on the blog linking issue.

Blog linking is a very popular plugin for SP and we sometimes use it on this site as well so we do know it works. Which means we need to determine what is going on in your environment that is stopping it functioning correctly.

Perhaps we can start with one or two questions.

Firstly – when you save the blog post in WP does everything appear to save correctly – no errors reported? And is the post fully published?

Next – are you using ANY other plugins that in ANY way add content to the blog post writing page – or that add some sort of processing to the saving of blog posts? This is important to know.

And finally – if you look in the forum admin > toolbox > error log – are you seeing any actual errors. There may be some ‘Notices’ and ‘Warnings’ which we can ignore for now but are there any actually marked as SQL errors or Fatal errors?

1. No, there are no errors when i link the blog post to the forum.

2. Yes, there is a plugins that add stuff on the writing page, like visual composer, youtube artiss and of course, the theme has multitude of shortcode features and so on.

3. This is the error message that comes when i tried to link the post to the forum;

Most curious. I have no probpem posting that, However I might have a theory. Can you tell me what version of mySQL you are using there please?

MySQL 5.5.8 installed.

Well it just gets more and more curious! Nothing special about that version.

Do you know how to make changes in the database tables directly – using phpMyAdmin for example?

If so could you alter the column ‘poster_ip‘ in the ‘sfposts‘ table to allow nulls – and/or give it a default value of zero?

If you don’t want to do this I can knock up a quick script you could run in phpMyAdmin instead…
