If dedicated then it would be better to increase the memory in php using the setting directly in the php.ini file. Much more robust...

I'm really struggling with the latest Simple Press update in some way or another it seems to conflict with several plugins we're using. Even using a selective loading plugin to try and deactivate all other plugins on the forum page isn't working.

As the site is a multisite what I'm thinking of doing is creating a new site and cloning the template and menu and then running the forum on another site with absolutely no other plugins on it. This should make no difference to the user but could fix all these conflicts.

Do you think this could work?

latest release?  its been out for months now...  is this new install?

simple press does work with multisite...  but each network site is standalone....

what are all the problems you allude to?   Reading through the thread seems to be running out of php memory...  have you increased the php memory directly as suggested by Andy?

you can run simple press on any of the network sites that you want - as stated each is a unique install...  network admin stuff is of course handled from the main site in the network...

Thanks for the reply,

Basically current situation is The Add Topic button isn't working when within a topic and the when in the simplepress profile page the posted to topics and topics created takes the user to a blank screen also the customer is currently administrating the forum using the pop out toolset as the forum menus in the dashboard just take us to a white screen too.

We have been using an https plugin to help handle areas of the site we want to secure and even though we don't secure any forum pages it is interfering which now means other parts of the site are conflicting as we have has to turn it off to keep the forum open.

It is my own fault regarding the latest release comment, we had been hanging on to do updates because we were concerned about conflicts like these and I just haven't had time to clone the site for testing purposes.

Fortunately the site is working it's just got a few glitches to iron out.

The PHP memory has been increased and the last time I checked these looked like they were gone in the logs.

There are still errors but none regarding memory.

Currently the forum is under /discuss  as the multisite is set up using /? instead of sub domains I can create a new site, deactivate most of the plugins in network admin and then reactivate them on a site basis, this way I can run simplepress with no other plugins active hopefully stopping any and all conflicts. It will also help us worrying in future when other plugins update if they will upset the forum.

simple press supports https... assuming its properly initiated in wp (there are flags to be used in wp config)..

that recursion things sounds odd, but no reference that its sp related...

regard the multibyte, what version of php is your server running?  would like more info on that error but not sure how to get it...  older versions of php didnt support htmlspecialchars the same, but assuming you have the min wp version, it should be fine...

The server is running PHP 5.3.3

I have finished setting up a template clone of the site and have installed SimplePress and all the buttons and features are working as they should so it is obviously a conflict with one of the plugins I can't turn off.

Could you please advise how I get all the content from one install to the other?

All the tables are in the same database but I obviously have two sets now the new ones with prefix eg. ab_3 instead of ab?

Hope you can help.

Simple:Press tables all start with the prefix 'sf' so they are easy to identify. The forum also needs the WordPress 'users' and 'usermeta' tables to tie up with the 'sfmembers' SP table that holds extended forum based user information.

If all of your SP tables are in a different database then it is possible to export the ones you need to copy to a sql dump file and then import them back into the second database. This will work as long as they have the same WordPress prefix. You can make exports and imports using a tool such as phpMyAdmin. If you go down this route make sure you include the DROP TABLE instruction which is an option. This will ensure that when the sql dump is imported again the existing tables will be removed first.

I'm pleased to say I've copied the whole forum to the subsite /forum and I have put the forum on the home page by setting a static page as the home page. When I click anywhere in the forum though it navigates to the page and the URL changes is there any way I can avoid this? I'm sure I saw it on another thread but I can't find it.

 

Old forum

sitename/pagename/forum name

 

URL at the moment on the home page:

sitename/subsitename/forum name

 

But when you click on anything in the forum moves to:

sitename/subsitename/pagename/forum name

 

What I want to achieve is

sitename/subsitename/forum name

 

That way all the existing links throughout the site and sites linking in will still work as the location will be the same.
