good news on Gantry integration…  we actually have fair number of folks using that…

Are you using any kind of membership plugin that might be protecting pages?

Or have you mistakenly marked the wp page the forum appears on as private?  or not published?

Its on a password protected page. When i go to that page, it doesn’t ask for my password it just displays nothing. If I remove the password protection is displays the screen shot below, but it’s weird because I have test topics.  This is driving me absolutely insane. This Gantry framework works with nothing but rockettheme items. I’m ready to throw in the towel and go joomla with vanilla forums. Can someone help before I lose all my hair.

here is the link to the pic  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15040797/S2apps/Capture.JPG

why is the page password protected??  seems odd since the forum gives you all the permission and access controls that you need…

that said, what version of SP are you running?  There was a problem in 5.0.3 showing password protected page, but it was corrected in 5.0.4…

ahh it is on 5.0.3 which is weird since I installed it last week. I will update it in 20minutes and check it out. Is there an easy way to update or is it a new reinstall. Once it is updated, and i can access it will it still be like the screen shot i sent above. thank you so much for all your help to mr pappa

go to your wp dashboard and click on the updates link under dashboard in the far left wp admin nav menu…  voila, simple upgrade process…

Got it upgraded and still no go when the page is locked, it wont ask for a password. Still the same when unprotected to, looks like the screen shot above. I’m out of ideas

so, no membership plugin?  any other plugins that do things for admins but not others?

very strange that something is outputting…

No no other plugins for memberships

It’s weird, when not signed in and no protection it shows up but distorted. I’m not getting it, i’m about ready to drop rockettheme because of things like this. Simple press is by far the best forum software hands down and i’m upset that the guys at rockettheme have no easy solution for this.

Weird, the page is blank but if you move the mouse over certain areas youll see the pop up menus or ‘finger’ icon as if it’s being covered up

You have to bear in mind that I have no real idea how Gantry works so this is discovery for me as well! So I might be able to tell you where something is happening – but quite probably not why! And I will need to take this one step at a time. So let’s start with why I see a completely blank blue page which apparently has SP hidden underneath it!

This is defined in the CSS in the file /rt_modulus_wp/css/template-gecko.css – and the rule is:

#rt-body-bg.rt-hidden, #rt-footer-bg.rt-hidden {
    opacity: 0;
}

‘0’ means transparent and as far as I can see that is being applied to the forum area making it, in effect, disappear. I have NO idea why!

I would point out that when I use the script console on your site I am seeing a lot of javascript errors and warnings form what appear to be Gantry specific scripts. The framework has also installed the ‘mootools’ javascript library and that can be quite difficult to sometimes get working properly with WordPress (not just SP) although it is not impossible

Thanks swordfish, I”m going to try a couple things this morning and I will get back to you this afternoon.
