Hi All,
Been working with SimplePress for about a week now and loving it. So thought I'd migrate an existing board from SMF to SimplePress today.
Downloaded the Data Importer plugin and uploaded it to the plugins folder of SimplePress but it refuses to show in the Plugins menu so I can activate it and use it. I've uploaded other plugins to the sp-resources/forum-plugins folder and the show and activate fine... just can't get the importer to play ball.
The Url of this one is http://www.rcknowhow.co.uk/forum-2/
Really got me confused this one. Reading everyone else's posts it seems like it should just work... wondered if it didn't need activating and there would just be a link in the main admin menu for SimplePress but can't find anything there either.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong chaps?
Thanks
Justin

Apologies - I really must write this up properly!
The importer is a normal WP plugin not an SP plugin so resides in the normal WP location. When activated however, it will add itself to the bottom of the forum menu in the WP admin.

Ok... made slight progress... I've installed the plugin and there is a new menu option.
But now when I head here: http://www.rcknowhow.co.uk/wp-.....-setup.php
I get "You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page"... which is odd as I'm the only Admin on the wordpress site and I'm logged in... 🙁
Any ideas?
Thanks

Is this one of those rather odd messages that WP puts out with a white page and a grey rectangle with the message in it? If so I would try logging out and back in again to see if that deals with it...

Yes, it's one of those boxes.
Logged out and back in... still the same.
I'm running a WP Multi-site install. Latest version of WP.
The site the forum is on is the main site or Site 1 I guess in the install. At a loss now to be honest. Not sure what to do 🙁

Hmmm. I never have known what those damn messages are about!
But - check the file permissions on the plguin and it's sub-folders.And the folder ownership as well. Check they are the same as the parent wp-content folder.

All files are 644. All folders are 755. Same as everything else in WP.
Thanks

And the ownership? You should be able to check this with an ftp client.

ownership would be the UID and GID... ie name:name for the dirs and files... sp-resources should match wp-content
