Adding a Topic

I’m a new user.  I installed Simple-press forum and it worked for two posts.  I came back later and no user can add a topic.  This happened on my staging site, too.  I click on “Add Topic” the page refreshes, but nothing happens–meaning the new topic form does not show up.  

I installed the forum on my WordPress site (3.9.1) using Wishlist Member.  I configured it so users see a Group depending on their wordpress role.  Like I said before, I tested it and it worked (I logged in as one user and added a topic.  Then logged in as a second test user and replied to that topic).  I came back to test further and no user can add a topic–not even administrators (moderators).  The only thing I changed between it working and not working was to change the theme and I turned off Global RSS feeds.  I turned them back on and the behavior is the same–I can’t add a topic.

Any suggestions?

I discovered what the problem is.  I edited the Page settings to have a parent page called “Members.”  I changed it back to “No Parent” and users can now post new Topics.

you can do that if you want… just after you change the page, you need to update the forum permalink on forum – integration – page and permalink…
