in the reply to your email, I explained that the wp slider plugin is incorrectly loading jquery…  have you resolved that?

or tried deactivating that plugin to see if that is the issue?

I am having the same issue with add topic not working. When I click it I see an error message in the bottom left hand side of my screen that says javascript:void(null). I have tried deactivating plug ins and checking the jquery info that I could find but I cannot figure it out.

John,

that is not an error message… the void part just means the href of the a tag is not used and the onclick attribute is used instead…

sounds like a js conflict though..  have you reviewed:  http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/faq/troubleshooting/what-is-this-jquery-conflict/

we would need a link to to your forum to look for obvious js issues…

Thx Papa for the reply and I will stick to this thread

We have reviewed the link and everything seems in order and we have also deactivated about half of our plugins to test the issue with no luck

Here is a link to our forum http://readyupgaming.com/forums/

Is there anything you need from us in terms of access or etc?

well you do have a couple two or three js errors on your pages… the biggest one seems to be something about main_menu.dd causing issues… and a FB error about calling order…

the main menu error is coming from a script near the bottom of the page, but it appears to be stopping some js from running…

any idea where that is from?

I do not know where that is coming from. The main menu is built in through the theme I am using through wordpress. I deactivated the featured news carousel from the bottom of the homepage, the facebook floating icons, the chat system, and the extra FB page feeder that was on there and I am still not able to add topic.

I am not a programmer and am probably in over my head but I am trying to build this out myself.

usually first step is to try to narrow it down…

try switching to the default wp theme and see if any better… 

if not, disable other plugins and see if working…  if so, then re-enable plugins one by one until it breaks again… then we have more data to try to solve…

Sorry – please bear with me here a moment. You have something called the Facebook Activity Feed Widget installed. Are you saying that when that is deactivated thinks still do not work? And is this widget supplied by the theme or is it a separate plugin?

I am asking because that widget IS throwing errors because it is trying to call jQuery before jQuery is loaded – or at least the script it is loading is doing so (some sort of color component)

I had deactivated every single plugin other than simple press and the add topic still wasn’t working so then I reactivated the plugins and tried a different theme and it worked……the facebook activity feed widget is a different plugin and again i had deactivated that but it didnt change anything but I did leave it deactivated

I went ahead and deleted the Facebook Activity Feed Widget plugin because I didnt need it anyway …. did the fix the FB problem?

Do you know what I need to change on my theme in order to have the add topic work as that must be the problem…Is there anything we can change now that the FB issue is gone to make our forums work?
