hello just trying to get simple:press installed.  Had a bit of difficulty with the zip files, but have now unzipped these into the sp-resources directory.  

The site is now installed on my new wordpress site, but under integration I get  : ERROR: The page slug is either missing or incorrect. The forum will not display until this is corrected  

Ok, I’m missing a page slug, this I understand, so I need to create this manually, but where, with what content, and what title.

I am wondering if my permissions on this shared serve are part of the problem.

On the forum page itself, I get a slew of notices Undefined index: group, http://www.tripalium.org/wordpress/index.php/forum/   

I’ll keep looking but any ideas or suggestions would be great.  cheers,

Jay

My first suspicion is that not everything has installed – or has installed in the wrong place – or maybe, as you suggest, permissions are skewed in some way. How did you install this and were there any noticeable problems. And what was the issue with the zips?

I unzipped the files on my computer and then uploaded them to the server.  Then I installed the plugin via the wp admin panel.  I got an error unable to create the directories for the two zip files sp-resources-install-part1.zip and sp-resources-install-part2.zip.  So I created an wp-content/sp-resources directory, unzipped these files and uploaded them.

I’m wondering if the windows server I am running this on doesn’t like that Simple:press tries to create some files (or directories).

I have been looking more closely at those errors and I think you may be correct that the problem lies in permissions on the server and available access. While I know WP will run under IIS (which I assume you are using) we also know it can be the cause of a lot of problems and the WP dev team are not that fond of it!

Let’s start to investigate as this is, hopefully, a simple matter. So – can you go to the forum admin > Integration > Storage Locations for starters to see if the folders are recognised, and if php thinks it can read and write to them.
