My initial forum page comes up but i no other pages will work such as profile page. cannot add topics or add posts.
I looked on error log and here is what I get:
file: /simple-press/sp-api/sp-api-plugins.php
line: 82
function: closedir
Warning | closedir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource
What do i need to do to correct?
I think we can safely ignore the warning for now and return to that later when we have the actual problem resolved.
It sounds like a fairly typical case of conflicting javascripts at the moment and is probably explained by this codex article: http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/faq/troubleshooting/what-is-this-jquery-conflict/
if you can check for this we can usually help sort it out fairly easily if this is the problem. If not then a link to your forum would be useful to have.
you have something really weird occurring on your site… take a look a look at ANY url of your site after it loads…
you will see:
&doing_wp_cron=1351382902.7150790691375732421875
or similar added to every page… as well as some odd and perhaps incorrect url encoding of other arguments in the url…
do you know what is doing that and why?? its non standard and appears to be causing issues…
BackupBuddy used to cause something like the doing_wp_cron deal. Don’t know if they made any changes lately but here is some info on it and WordPress’s ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’ param that might help.
uhhhh …nope….
I use Blogvault
I built the theme using Artisteer.
I have no idea…so your saying i am screwed.
No, not at all… just working through it… but we do need to figure out what is adding that query arg… I dont even understand why it would be doing that… and why the unneeded and damaging encoding of query arg separators…
before you give up, would suggest we try to understand the issue…
what can i do to help.
i have deactivated most of the plugins and still no change
most?
first step would be to try a temp switch to the default wp theme… if still broke, then deactivate all other plugins… and see if still going…
btw, we have other users using Artisteer theme too… but you might have different configuration…
can you post contents of your .htaccess too? or at least look for any non standard wp rules…
FOUND IT!!!!
I put to default theme and no change.
I deactivated: All-in-One Event Calendar by Timely and it started working correctly.
why would a calendar plugin cause all of that?…
good question… looked a little greedy doing it to every url…
is that a plugin you need? we might be able to give you modification to not load the calendar on the forum page to keep it from conflicting… or if dont need it then all is good! 
Papa it is a very important part of our website..we have a lot of tournaments from Feb thru August as well as ton of other events…
I found this on Timely’s website support:

appended to the url. Here’s why.
The link will appear when your blog is doing background updates, or “cron jobs”. In the Ai1EC, this is related to updating your imported calendar feeds and facebook feeds.
There is a known bug in the WordPress core [link] where the scheduled update will fail if ALTERNATE_WP_CRON is not set. We use ALTERNATE_WP_CRON to make sure that your regularly scheduled updates do not fail. See the bug.
This should not affect the functionality of the calendar in any way, and you can always link to a page without the
part.
Please also see this forum post on stackexchange for some more discussion.
if it ONLY added that, I would agree… but that fact the its encoding or making entities of other elements of the url is the part that seems to be messing it up (messes up rewrite rules)…
Mr. Papa, i decided to change calendar plugins. I used one from Modern Tribe and it seems to be not causing any problems with the rest of the site and forum.
Thanks so much for helping me through this.
