Can  you take a look at this thread (to save writing it all up again). Try post 4 (or was it 5)….

Thanks. But I did not see a link to a post. 

think Andy meant this one:  https://simple-press.com/support-forum/sp5-general-topics/updated-and-cant-add-repliestopics/#p148797

Thank you for the link. I added the additional line and it did not correct the problem for me unfortunately. 

so what version of wp did you upgrade from?  all sp plugins up to date?  did the wp theme get an update too?  out of curiosity, if you do a quick temp switch to default wp theme, does it improve?

each page of your site is throwing a bunch of js errors…

since you are running combined caches for simple press, try going to forum – toolbox – housekeeping and clearing the combined js and css caches…

I always have the latest WordPress version installed, All SP plugins are up to date. The WP theme I use last did not get an update along with WP 4.1, but it is updated fairly often. I tried switching to a default WP theme and a default SP theme.  I have cleaned out the combined js and css caches as well. What is odd is the quote reply works for the forums.

As Steve pointed out earlier your site is throwing a lot of script errors.

One of the first things I see – and this could be the root of all problems perhaps – is that your site – at least the forum page – is loading 2 separate copies of the jQuery library. The first is being loaded from:

opshots.net/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js

and the second from:

opshots.net/blog/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js

All of the other scripts appear to be loaded from the /blog/ sub-folder. This really needs correcting to start with as we need to eliminate all the errors appearing.

That solved the problem….thank you for your help.

Oh excellent. Not as bad as I feared it might be!
