Hi guys,
I have just updated the simple press plugin and the forum has disappeared. I’m sure the error is mine and that I have misread or missed something I needed to do before the update.
Could someone shed some light on this for me??
Thx.
Forum is (was) here: http://www.silverhairs.com/forum
What else have you updated at the same time? You website is throwing a very large number of scripting errors – not all related to SP. So other things must have changed as well.
I went through and updated all plugins…
I will start turning off the ones I have updated, if I can remember which these were!
I would start with the theme actually. Did that get an update? And what theme is it?
No the theme hasn’t had an update. The theme is impulse by skyali. http://londonthemes.com/viewtheme/?theme=impulse but has had some major alterations.
I have found the offending plugin – WordPress SEO by YOAST !! Quite a popular plugin.
Do you think it would just be my site affected by this or all using both simple press and WP SEO?
Oh no. WP SEO works just fine alongside SP. We also support it via our google sitemap plugin. Is it possible that WP SEO was also in conflict with another plugin and deactivating WP SEO caused the conflicts to stop?
one thing you need to make sure with yoast, and he recommends it anyways, is to have the rewrite ugly permalinks options turned off….
Ok, re-write ugly permalinks is off, I have de-activated all other plugins one by one and the only way I can get simple press to show is deactivate yoast.
Most strange – although personally I do not discount WordPress theme conflicts if that too has had an upgrade.
Can you try this – go to the forum admin > Integration panel and switch the current setting of loading javascript in header/footer.
And if there is any chance of briefly switching to the default WordPress theme (with both Yoast and SP active) it would be useful just to make sure that has no effect…
Toggling the javascript loading had no effect.
I will update my local version and try swapping the theme. There have been no updates to the current theme, but as you say it’s worth a try.
Hi guys,
Apologies for not getting back sooner. I have now set up a dev site to test the issue of a possible clash between WordPress SEO by Yoast and Simple Press.
To get back up to speed… I recently updated all my plugins only to discover that the forum no longer showed. I systematically switched off each plugin until the forum re-appeared. The offending plugin was WordPress SEO by Yoast.
Below is what I have tried without success, but first here is a link to the dev site, login details and link to forum (missing).

1) Deactivated all plugins one by one with Yoast activated and tested forum with each deactivation.
2) Swapped theme to Twenty twelve
We have just started a working relationship with an SEO company, so would really like to get this up and running before I have an embarrassing conversation as to why we are not running an SEO plugin.
Let me know if you need any more details.
