After doing a little more investigating there are quite a few functions that are not working. 

I am unable to add posts, edit post or add replies. 

When I try to add a topic there are a few functions that still work, I still can add a Topic Name But when clicking on the container to add a post it won’t even show the curser. Also the Upload Attachments Button and the Submit Topic Button still functions correct. However when scrolling over the Cancel Button nothing happens, I can’t even click it. 

I have have tried one thing with still no success. 

Under Admin Panel>Options>Global Settings I have Disabled CSS/JS Combined Caching 

But this did not fix anything. 

are you also running the latest tinymce plugin?  version 2.0.2?  looks like you are running the old version…

a bit worried about your wp theme violating wp standards too and loading its own jquery ui instead of the one wp comes with – and its an old version…  so you have two versions loaded – recipe for conflict…  but lets get the tinymce version up to date first and see what happens…

Here is a quick overview of whats under the hood 

WordPress Environment

Striking Theme Version 5.1.9.3  

This is the latest version of my WordPress theme. This is a
very complex theme with a ton of option but I have never
really had any problems with Simple-Press integration before. 

I also noticed adding User group permissions failed to save my settings. This all happened after I updated SP, SP themes and SP plugins. 

The only Plugin that I have recently added to WordPress is WP-Super Cache Plugin. 
I added that plugin a week before all the updates. But I don’t believe I had any 
problems with the forum after adding that plugin. 

While it would not be responsible for any such script errors wp-super cache can disguise them. Have you excluded the forum page from caching? The data on the forum is too dynamic to be cached in this way so you will need to exclude the forum page from wp-super-cache or you will find that users can get out of date data being displayed.

But – the real problems are almost certainly going to be scripting problems. It is a very bad practice for a theme to supply and of the main jQuery script libraries as this goes against Wp protocols. so does you your theme – as some good themes do – offer you the option to load these libraries properly from WordPress itself. If so then you really should choose that option and then see what happens.

Here is my advanced options for my theme.

I have tried messing with the Js and CSS options 

but it will not fix the problem only make the scripts

conflict even more when I turn any of the options on.

Do you see any options you think I should look into?

I didn’t excluded the forum from caching, i’m not sure if that is in the simple-press admin panel?

Also I uninstalled the WP-cache plugin and removed all files for that plugin until I can get this 

issue sorted out. 

OK – well the first step would be to at the very least get the theme to use the proper, WP supplied jQuery Even if errors remain it needs to be discounted first. But – it means finding where in the code it is being loaded.

I would start by taking a look at your theme functions.php file as the most likely place. See if you can find a line that looks something like wp_deregister_script(‘jquery’) and when you find it paste 2 or 3  lines of code either side of it here so we can tell you how best to correct it.

<?php
if(!class_exists(‘Theme’)){
/* Load the Theme class. */
require_once (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/framework/theme.php’);

$theme = new Theme();
$options = include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/framework/info.php’);

$theme->init($options);
}

/*
You can add your custom functions below
It will not override by theme upgrade.
*/

Sorry I don’t know why I postsed that code, anyways I was not able to find anything in my files with the Keyword deregister. 

at this point, being Christmas Eve and we will be checking out for couple days here soon, might be easier if we could just get access to take a look… Can you provide us a temp wp admin account with sp admin caps?  if doable, please pm them to yellow swordfish and mr papa with a link to this topic…

Okay, the actual issue here is the Short Codes Deluxe program… It tries to add a bunch of stuff to the tinymce editor…

not sure, but it looks like its making the assumption that the tinymce editor is only used in the wp admin… but that is bad assumption as wp has designed it to be used anywhere including on front end like simple press does…  everything works fine with that plugin disabled…

doesnt be any settings to see if you can limit its use to admin…  or force stuff to be loaded if needed…  so looks like some work needed on that plugin…

Thanks Mr Papa, I appreciate your help on this issue. Sometimes it can be the stupids things. 

For now I can live without the short code deluxe plugin, but I can’t live without simple-press!  

Regards,

Good to get to the bottom of it.

It would be worth making contact with the authors of the plugin to try and get it changed to load for the admin side of things only.
