Apologies I notice I have put this in the wrong location, could you move it to general please.

As an update I have now jumped through all the hoops and updated SP to 5.2.2

Another update – After deactivating and re-activating the plugin on the site it is on the integration page shows http:

but the forum cannot be accessed.

So I changed the default page and then back again and click update permalink and it now says https again. Like the screenshot in the post above.

Update – the forum toolset has now gone so I’m guessing I have a javascript conflict. But the reason we have moved the whole forum to a subsite is to reduce conflicts so I’m not sure where the conflict comes from. Can you please help identify it for me.

Update – I also have a ticket open with WMPU Domain mapping but I am reasonably confident this is an SP issue as it only happens on the forum menu.

When clicking on ‘My Sites’ in the black admin bar at the top and going to mainsite/forum > dashboard it redirects me to mainsite/dashboard instead of mainsite/forum/dashboard.

In the firebug panel it shows as a 302 temporary move in the Net panel.

you have simple press installed in a subdomain?  so a second complete wp install?   are you sharing users?  or is ‘forum’ a wp page?

guessing second wp install, otherwise dont see how any less potential for js conflict… which we could help with but you have not provided any details on those… a link to site would also be useful…

is the subdomain mapping (isnt that a multisite plugin) how you are pointing to this second install (or network site) of wp?  if so, how does it do its thing?  .htaccess rule, redirection, other?  seems to be something missing in the process…  the 302 status seems to indicate the same thing…

or perhaps some caching that is stale?

may have missed a couple questions, but lets get some out of the way…

Hi Mr Papa

Thanks for the reply, it is a subsite but we set u with the sub folder not subdomain route

eg. site.co.uk/forum

not forum.site.co.uk

We share users across the whole multisite

As an update I had the forum toolset issue and recalled the only thing I didn’t update was the themes. So I went through the process again of activating the forum plugin on the main/default site going to network and themes and updated the two simplepress themes to see if they would fix the toolset but they didn’t the whole forum broke, crashed mysql and I had to restart apache. So i have now restored the backup I started 6 hours worth of work ago but I’m just happy it’s working again. I just need to get it off https as soon as I can to reduce server load.

If you have a test site and you set the force ssl admin in the wpconfig file do you find it turns all the links https? As it shouldn’t because they are in the front of the side and it should only turn login and admin pages https? I did ask once before and we talked that I was going to remove the login form from the top of simplepress to see if that would resolve it because there is a login form does it make the whole forum https? However I haven’t got round to trying to remove the form, it would be good if someone could confirm whether the wpconfig change has the same affect for others?

Thanks

Kenn

In honesty I’m not sure how the WPMU mapping plugin works. The mainsite is on a dedicated IP and because of that we set the A records of the other domains to the same IP and then the redirect plugin navigates them to the subsite.

eg. we map directory.com  to  mainsite.co.uk/directory the user always sees directory.com

Hi All,

I know your all busy but is there any advice you may be able to give. I have tested on my dev site and I still get the same issue the forum ‘thinks’ the site is under https and I don’t want it to be.

Did you say that the site pulls whether it should be https or not from the wp_config, how does it do this?
If it takes it from either of these being true

define(‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, true);
define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);

then this isn’t accurate as neither of these should make the whole site https?

They might… If you have forche_ssl_login set to true and you are showing the online login form in the forum header (or in sidebar or other location via theme/plugin) you would likely get this behavior…

Can’t have the login form SSL if the page isn’t…

I am using the default simplepress theme as this website so yes it has the login form at the right corner like yours.

Can this be removed?

I think you told me how once before but as mentioned I haven’t been able to do it yet.

Hey Kenn,

You can remove the login option by commenting out the function in the template (so you can easily add it back later if you choose to).

Using ‘Default’ theme as an example, you would open the spHead.php template –

sp-resources > forum-themes > default > templates > spHead.php

Then comment out the following function with a ‘#’ at the start:

#sp_LogInOutButton('tagClass=spButton spRight', __sp('Log In'), __sp('Log Out'), __sp('Log in and log out'));

Hope this helps.

Thanks Ike,

Obviously users may be used to clicking that login button, is there a way I can put a url to the login button and remove the form? That way it won’t look like I’ve just taken it away but it can redirect them to the default wp login screen.

Sorry, I skimmed through the first page there!

You can set up a redirect through Forum > Components > Login and Registration, and you can remove the login form from the template by commenting out:

#sp_LoginForm($loginForm);

from spHead.php.

Was this the thread you were referring to?

Hi Ike,

Thanks for your help. Yes that was the topic I was talking about. I’ve made the changes as suggested  but unfortunately it is still https. I have gone back to the integration page and hit refresh and it is still saying https as in the screenshot I attached in post 1.

Obviously as mentioned I have the dashboard areas and login pages ssl, when I click “Update Forum Permalink” could it be thinking the site is ssl because the integration page is in ssl?
