I have the latest version installed with the css-only theme. As an administrator I can’t seem to edit a post or topic. I click on the edit button and it reverts back to the forum overview, but no editing option.
Any ideas?
Sounds like a possible script conflict.
Can I have a link to your forum page?
The forum is behind a membership site. I’m prepared to give you an account there so you can have a look. Please send an e-mail to my e-mail address directly, so I can send you the credentials.
Better method for us:
Please PM credentials to both myself and to ‘Mr Papa’. Please include in the PM a link to your site, a link to this thread and brief reminder of the problem. And one of us will take a look for you.
This is a very strange site. The need for a certificate doesn’t help me much as it is hard to navigate. But mainly I am getting absolutely NO feedback in the console… and that is something I have never seen before on any site.
So we will need you to check please. I d not know what browser you use bit all the main ones come with a script console these days – often in some sort of development or tools menu. You need to open that – clear it out of it has anything shown in it – load a forum page and then try one of the operations that is failing. See what gets reported. As I say – when I try it I get nothing but I suspect it’s an AJAX issue and only you can try those.
interestingly it looks like query args are getting stripped out… are you running any special ‘security’ plugins? or mod_security at server level?
Not that I know of. I have a attached my htaccess file and as you might have seen I’m using s2Member as the plugin to deal with subscriptions to the site. Because this is a test site, I have not bothered getting a proper certificate for it 
I have looked in Safari, Chrome and Firefox and I have the same issue in each browser. I have run the site in Firefox with Firebug and the console logging, but nothing is shown …
If you need anything to have a further look, please let me now.
Thanks,
Dave
right now, need to understand why your server seems to be stripping query args from urls…
right, I have disabled all the plugins and it worked fine. Then by slowly activating the plugins I found out that by activating WooCommerce, the query arguments got stripped off. Now what?
Most curious,. We certainly have had users with woocommerce installed before.
I guess you need to ask them if they have any clue as to what is happening…and why the query args are getting stripped.
I have contacted them, so now it is just waiting for their reply on the matter.
Even though the editing works now, the other plug-ins: Polls and Post ratings still don’t … In other words I have no option to rate a posting or create a Poll …
I would look through their options… I know WooCommerce is working with simple press in other instances…
no polls or ratings? have you actually enabled polls and ratings in the forums where you want them? each forum can have them or not… edit each forum and verify…
I have been and still are, but haven’t found it so far.
Thanks for the heads up on the polls and ratings. There are so many places to configure a plug-in. Missed this one. It works perfectly now (without WooCommerce activated). I’ll keep you posted!
I have found the problem! It is the setting: “Force secure checkout” in WooCommerce. When this option is enabled, it breaks the URL.
I have reported this to WooThemes. I keep you posted.
Thanks for the excellent support! It is truly a breath of fresh air!
