Hello,

I just installed simple-press here:

fightauthority.com/forum

But, it's completely blank.  

I can use the backend, but nothing when I view the url.  

I disabled all my plugins and tested, nothing.  Cleared cache, nothing.  Used basic wordpress theme, nothing.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Sounds like an error has occurred and occurred early enough to stop anything displaying. So it could be a conflict of some kind with another php script.

Are you able to check the php error log to see what may be getting reported there?

yes, as Andy said, an error has occurred somewhere...  error log would be helpful or you can try turning on error display by adding this to your wp-config.php file to see them on the screen...

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);

Make sure that you have upgraded your WordPress to 4.0 because I updated Simple-Press which it seemed like it allowed me to do but when I went to the forum it was blank and said the update would not run on 3.9. Too bad it did not tell me that during the install and prompt me to stop upgrading.

Did you download it via the WordPress updater. If so then that is the actual problem. By the time the code is on your server then it will no longer work with the old database but has to be upgraded.

Needing WP 4.0 was a pretty well publicised fact but I rather think WordPress should not have let you update the files in the first place and that - I will investigate,
