Integration > Storage Locations is an admin panel in the forum admin - just beneath where you were when looking at the Smileys panel.

Various storage locations (folders on your server) are created - or at least creation is attempted - during the Simple:Press install. Very rarely but every now and then, it will encounter a web server where it is not possible to create those folders due to permission settings on the server. Or - more rarely - the install will be able tp create the folders but not always assign them the correct permissions to make them writeable.

As the message said - the first task is to visit that admin panel and see what is wrong - i.e., missing or just not writeable - and then correct as needed. If exists then the usual permissions used for a folder are 755 and for files within them 644.

Well there is a peculiarity.

go to the 'Admins' section (the one with the star icon) and open up the pane; named 'Manager Admins' and against your own section there should be a 'Manage Integration' cap. Tunn that on, save and then reload the whole forum admin from the WP menu.

Ok - well first they are NOT instructions - merely descriptions of what the folder is for. Next - interesting that they are not contained in a tooltip within the page/device display area. Suggests a conflict with some other display item on the site. Would be nice to know what...

So - why are you now seeing more locations with a problem than before? What did you change to make that happen?

By the way - as the popup help will tell you - you an actually store this stuff wherever you want. The default locations are just that - defaults.

That's good to hear.

Any news on why the install could not create them in the first place?
