Hello,

I have an issue with "simple:press" forum. I've installed it on my site, but the "add button" doesn't work. Everything works excepted that. I can see "javascript:void(null)" appears.

Could somebody help me ?

This is the page concerned : http://real-france.fr/forum-rf.....sentation/

Thanks.

your site is throwing a couple of javascript errors (on all pages). I do not know if they are related to each other but only one gives a clue to the culprit and these are stopping other scripts from running properly - including some of the forum scripts...

The one that does name itself seems to be trying to use something called 'main_menu.dd'. Hopefully - you may know that this is. As I say - until that is cleared up I am unsure whether the second error is related. But when they are cleared things should start to work as expected.

Hello ! First, thanks for answering !

I undersand in big lines what you are explaining. But.. I'm not a confirmed web developper, and don't really know how to manipulate javascript functions, only HTML and CSS. Could you help me on the way to follow ? 

According to you, I should, once I have found it, erase the line which contains the javascript function "main_menu.dd" ? But how can I know the file concerned ? I'm afraid to make damage on my site, that's why I am asking more precisions before trying something. 🙂

Hey Thomas,

When you come up against a JS error or conflict the only person who can really resolve it with a code fix is the original plugin developer - For a start they know their plugin, and secondly their fix will continue to exist through future versions. If you really knew what you were doing you could probably spend some time trying to track down the problem and fix it, but it would be overwritten with the original once updated.

Where Andy has pointed out that ‘main_menu.dd’ seems to be causing problems, we are suggesting you find out what plugin (or possibly your WP theme) this is coming from and deal with it. The majority of times this just involves removing the offending plugin or switching to another theme, but if you find out this is coming from something you can't live without you would need to contact the plugin / theme developer and ask them if they can resolve it.

A basic way of going about this would be to disable ALL WP plugins, see if you can then use the 'Add Topic' button. If you can, enable plugins one by one until you find the one that stops you from using the button.

Unfortunately there are lots of plugins and themes out there that don't conform to the WP API which cause knock on effects with plugins that do - Such as Simple:Press.
