Well than a bit of a puzzle.
Can you look in the forum admin > toolbox > error log… clear out any entries that are there. Try the edit post and save – and then check back in the error log to see if anything crops up in there.

Ok Sir,  there were some cubepoint errors showing up so i deactivated all cubepoint plugins, cleared the logs, and activated TinyMCE … same problem, and no errors in the log, but then its not erroring out when editing a post… “updated post saved” and green check as if all is as should be, just no change to edited post.

If you f5 for a refresh, the “updated post saved” returns and the text is still the original ?? .. scratches head .. 

I have tried clearing browser cache, but its not just my device, its all users.

Do you have PM / Contact details i can pass on login creds to for the site if you would like to hop on ?

Cheers

Yes – although I am not sure if that will help much.

But – before we go there one other question… Are you using any caching plugins as that will do it…

No – it doesn’t look like it,
Well we can take a look but we may need to investigate what is happening at the code level and what other factor is effecting yours and not everyone elses!

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.

Might have to do this in stages. The first – and most important thing – is that your WP theme is loading this: ‘jquery-ui-personalized-1.5.2.packed.js’ which is – to be honest – and absolute horrendous thing to do and ignores any other plugins that may need to use this library – and that can be a lot of them.

It is bad enough that they are loading the jquery UI library improperly but by the looks of the name it suggests that may have even custom coded stuff in there. Tis codex artucle explains why this is not good:

http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/faq/troubleshooting/what-is-this-jquery-conflict/

As this could be responsible – and the only way to tell that is to use a different theme – then I think we need to sort this one out before we can progress further.

Ok, this morning I activated the TwentyTwelve theme and was able to succesfully edit a topic,logged in as a user.

I have also noticed that logged in as Admin on the Astronova theme I AM able to edit topics as the Tiny MCE plugin does not load ? Am I able then to assign users to load or not load the Tiny MCE plugin as a work around ?

It looks like I am paying the price of not paying the price and running a free theme then, I really do not relish the thought of having to do a theme rebuild at this stage ?  

You can make an alternative editor the default but all the time you have tinyMCE active it will be made available to your users via their profile posting options to thay can override the default.

You know – our experience shows that paid-for themes are often the worse at riding rough-shod over all of the rules and the WordPress API. I also don’t think that sorting out the problems you have should be that problematic as long as we know just what the theme authors have done to the UI file.. i.e., have they added custom code or included other components? And you know – they may well tell you this if you ask them – there is no reason why they shouldn’t.

I feel you will encounter other issues – not just with SP but with other plugins if they need to use the script libraries.

Okie doke thanks for the advise, would you be able to tell me what i need to ask of the theme developers then, this jQuery stuff  is a bit beyond my reach really   and I shall go away and put it to them, and see what they have to say and report back. 

Thanks for your assist with this, mighty impressed with the support you are providing to Simple Press users ! and it is in no small part the quality of the Forum that I have been able to bring users across from gtplanet.net to my site. :tup:

I think the first question is – what exactly is in the ‘jquery-ui-personalized’ file? Have they added custom code or included any other components or can we safely swap it for the proper thing?

Hello again Swordfish … Please see below for answer from Web2Feel

“jQuery ui file is used for the tabs section in the theme. It is probably out dated now. You could swap it with a new version from here – http://jqueryui.com”

any good to you ?

Cheers

M 

no, just need to make it use the jquery ui that comes with wp…

so if you can find where its loaded in the theme, we can give you the code to correct the theme…
