Hi,
I have setup Simple:Press V5 on a fresh server as a fresh installation.
Having setup almost everything I would like to do, I am having issues with the front end.
When I click on a forum, it takes me to a blank page. I have played around with the permalinks as I initially had this setup to run as "post name" - but this was causing the forum page to not display (both logged in as moderator and not logged in at all). I then changed the permalink back to the default, and everything works fine. Ideally, I would like to get this working using the postname permalink.
In order to pre-empt your next question, yes, I did go in to integration after each permalink change I made and pressed the update permalink button. Unfortunately, this did not help. Also, I have no WP plugins installed (except for Simple:Press). I do have most of the Simple:Press Plugins installed.
The URL is: http://www.biugsa.co.za and I can supply you with login credentials if you like.
Thanking You,
Anton

Let's start with the obvious just to make sure! How are you entering the post name permalink in the WP permalink panel?
And - secondly - do any other of the 'defaults' work - like 'numeric' for example?

Truth be told... I am not.
I am using WP 3.3.1. Since this version has a radio button option for Postname, I simply selected that one as it works on my other WP sites.
I have not tested any of the others, just default and post name

post name is what we use here... and these days, more and more use too...
hard to tell anything with it in ugly default permalinks now - of course, I understand why...
any seo plugins for wp or redirection plugins?

nope... I have only 2 plugins installed: Simple:Press V5 and Configure SMTP (but this was only installed yesterday after I posted here).
Would you like me to create a login for you so that you can poke around??

Would probably be best if that is OK.
Can you make that an SP admin account? PM the credentials to both myself and to Mr Papa. Please include in the PM a link to the site, a lonk to this thread and just a brief reminder of the problem to save us time hunting around. Thanks

OK let's talk about the .htaccess file.
When you change or first set up WordPress permalinks to anything but the default it will attempt to write out entries to the .htaccess file. If for any reason this can not be done then it will usually display a message with the text that it tried to write informing you that you need to do this manually. For reasons I could not begin to understand it seems that neither have happened on your site. So... try this.
Add this to your .htaccess file:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Then go to the permalinks setting page and choose 'custom' and out in there:
/%postname%/
and give it another try. See if that helps.
Your site IS very sluggish. Perhaps not a great hosting company...
Should have added - make sure you use a plain text editor!
