you say since most recent update… is that wp?  or sp?  which versions did you come from and which wp and sp versions are you running…

the thread you linked to was due to a specific wp theme issue… if yours was working before and its the same wp theme, likely not the same issue…and that thread was for all users.. so again, sounds like different issue…

do you have a link to your site?

Could not say exactly when the error occurred, since as an admin I do not see the error. But since I could add a topic before the WP update from 3.9 to 4.0 (my current version) and your subsequent version update to Version 5.5.1 (my current version). I would say sometime in that time range, but it could also be after your plugin updates as well. Sorry I could not be more specific but we just started pre-launch testing and only now have I been testing all user levels in the forum.

My error is almost exactly like the problem described in the previous topic (except he never mentioned if as an admin he could add a topic) but I too see the javascript:void(null) on the “Add Topic” when I hover over the link, and the problem is corrected with a theme change and with all other things being the same, I assumed it was a theme error. Reading the Codex article “I am seeing javascript:void(null) for a browser link” suggested no concrete solution either. I also found no other forum topics or articles that came close to describing the problem as I am experiencing it either. Please advise on where else you would suggest I look for the solution.

Also, I do not know if it matters but I do have a number of your plugins added to my site as listed below:

Thanks Greg

it could be the same issue, ie use of wp theme that improperly uses bootstrap js library…  and yours does seem to use it… but not sure how it would have worked previously – nothing has changed and the order loading is still the key…

since bootstrap conflicts with jquery ui that wordpress uses, they are not compatible unless care is taken to load it before jquery ui…  so that is the next step….  adjust the wp theme so it loads bootstrap before jquery ui…

there are several topics in this forum with ideas on how to do that (can vary from theme to theme)… if you can find where in your theme bootstrap.js is loaded, we can probably help adjust it…

Mr Papa

Sorry for the delay in marking this as resolved I eventually worked it out with the theme developers.  While there was no bootstrap.js in my theme, there was a problem with a javascript file that was corrected by the developer.  Thanks for your insight and help.

Greg

good news!  thanks for the update!
