so what happens?  you cannot click on new topic button?  does nothing?  edit window doesnt work?  need more info please…

also, try with the browser console open and see if any errors you can report here…

I dont see any obvious js conflicts, but guests cannot post on your site, so cannot try it…

When you click on the add new topic nothing happens. It just take you to the same page.

If you tell me how to allow guest to post I will enable I am also open to allowing you access as an admin if you register I will chnage your permissions. I am kean to get this working as we are going to migrate from Vbulletin to this software if I can get it working.

I am having the same issue as well.  I’ve got guest posts enabled, so maybe that’ll help so we can both get this resolved. I am also unable to add replies to any topics without using the quote function first, and just manually deleting the quoted text.  Here’s a link to my forum:

http://www.faygoluvers.net/v5/forum/the-13th-annual-gathering-of-the-juggalos-2012/

We have been users of SimplePress for well over a year now. I upgraded from 4.4.5 to 4.5.1 with no issues.  Then I updated to 5.2.6 and ran into this.  

Not trying to hijack this thread, but figured this could help both of us out.

Scott,

same symptom, but different issue… in your case, your wp theme is violating the wp api standards and doing it wrong… its loading jquery and jquery ui from external sources instead of using the one that comes with wp…

see: http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/faq/troubleshooting/what-is-this-jquery-conflict/

a theme using versions other than what comes with wp is bad… often without no conflict and certainly not what other plugins in wp expect or test with… no real reason not to use the wp version…

if you can find where in your theme its improperly loading that, we can hep fix it… or maybe the theme has an option to use the proper wp jquery libraries…

OK, first off, please pardon the fact that I’m a novice at this.  I had this site built and can no longer get in touch with the site builder.  I know that we are using a theme called ECosmo

http://newwpthemes.com/wordpress-theme/ecosmo/

Here are some of my jquery statements:

<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”http://www.faygoluvers.net/v5/wp-content/themes/original/css/jquery.fancyMusicPlayer-white.css”>
<script src=”http://www.faygoluvers.net/v5/wp-content/themes/original/js/jquery.min.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>
<script src=”http://www.faygoluvers.net/v5/wp-content/themes/original/js/jquery-ui.min.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>
<script src=”http://www.faygoluvers.net/v5/wp-content/themes/original/js/jquery.mousewheel.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>
<script src=”http://www.faygoluvers.net/v5/wp-content/themes/original/js/jquery.jscrollpane.min.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>
<script src=”http://www.faygoluvers.net/v5/wp-content/themes/original/js/soundmanager2-nodebug-jsmin.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>
<script src=”http://www.faygoluvers.net/v5/wp-content/themes/original/js/jquery.fancyMusicPlayer.min.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>

<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://www.faygoluvers.net/v5/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plus/jquery.colorbox.1.3.32.js?ver=1.3.32′></script>

 

It’s apparent that the jquery statements are coming from my theme, but how do i correct that?  When i go to Appearance and Themes, I don’t really see any options where I can edit it.  Is that what I should be looking for?  Please let me know.

where did those lines come from?  looks like a page source and not the actual theme php files… is that true?  to fix, we need to be able to edit the theme php files…

can you access the files to modify?

Yes, I have full FTP access to the site and can edit anything I need to.  I see the “themes.php” file under wp-admin, but since there’s no reference to jquery or .js in that file, I don’t suspect this is the file in question.  Any guidance would be appreciated.

you are looking in the wrong spot… in your wp theme…  so

wp-content/themes/original

past that, you have to look in the various files…  often its header.php or functions.php.. but could just about anywhere depending on how they structured the wp theme…

Hi I am wondering if you have managed to look at the original request. 

I have allowed guest access on the forum at www.mediades.co.uk/ bg. Can you advise why I can’t add a new topic?

Thanks

Apologies Pat. I think we both missed this after the other person started in on the thread.

OK – as with Steve I see nothing actually wrong so it just looks like the url rewrites are either not holding or have been lost. For starters – go to the forum admin > Integration > Page and Permalink and click on the Update Permalink about half way down the form.

If that doesn’t resolve it then what other WP plugins are you using there?

First, I apologize to the thread starter for getting off of your original topic. I thought I had found somebody with the same issue that I had.  If I need to start another thread, I can.

Continuing with this issue, I found some jquery references in my header.php file that might be helpful.  I didn’t want to paste the whole since a majority of it probably has nothing to do with my issue, so here are those references:

<title><?php wp_title(”); ?><?php if(wp_title(”, false)) { echo ‘ |’; } ?> <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></title>
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/css/screen.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen, projection” />
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/css/print.css” type=”text/css” media=”print” />
<!–[if IE]><link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/css/ie.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen, projection”><![endif]–>
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/jdgallery/jd.gallery.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen” charset=”utf-8″ />
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/css/jquery.fancyMusicPlayer-white.css”>
<script src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/js/jquery.min.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>
<script src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/js/jquery-ui.min.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>
<script src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/js/jquery.mousewheel.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>
<script src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/js/jquery.jscrollpane.min.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>
<script src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/js/soundmanager2-nodebug-jsmin.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>
<script src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/js/jquery.fancyMusicPlayer.min.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>

<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://www.faygoluvers.net/v5/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plus/jquery.colorbox.1.3.32.js?ver=1.3.32′></script>
<link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’lightboxStyle-css’ href=’http://www.faygoluvers.net/v5/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plus/css/green/colorbox.css?ver=2.6′ type=’text/css’ media=’screen’ />

<script type=”text/javascript”>

var $ah = jQuery.noConflict();

 

Thanks in advance!
