My blog visit-sweden.eu is about to get its forum. However after installation the forum page is just blank.

Any tipps on what I have made or not made?

Hey Jon,

Have you had a look at the Simple:Press Codex? The best way to start is by looking at the Getting Started section.

Hope this helps, shout if you need any further help

Thanks!

I gone through the codex and some youtube instructions. I have groups and forums and all that. Still nothing.

OK.. assuming we are talking about http://visit-sweden.eu/forum/

Couple of things first.. Are you running the latest version of WordPress?

If so, can you temporarily try switching to one of the default WordPress themes to see if that changes anything?

You can also check to see if the page the forum needs was created properly. It tried to create a page with the default name of 'forum' upon install. This very rarely fails. Go to the forum admin > Integration > Page and Permalink to see if a page is selected at the top and if that page actually exists. If it doesn't then create and/or select a page for the forum to use and then update the whole panel - button at the bottom. Then - finally - click on the update forum permalink button in the middle of the panel.

And if still empty then Ike's suggestion above s the next step...
