There is absolutely no reason why moving the forum to a different server – and even a different domain – should cause any issues whatsoever. In fact – you should just be moving the forum tables along with the WP tables.

Please see this FAQ: https://simple-press.com/documentation/codex/faq/how-to/how-to-move-sp-to-a-new-server-or-domain/

I have read the FAQ and tried the migration with phpmyadmin.

Nonetheless, I have abandoned the idea of moving my Forum, so I elected to just start fresh. The point of my post is that this new install is not working properly. Meaning, I am unable to create post or when I click on a topic from the theme’s sidebar view, it takes me to a blank page. 

This is what I am asking assistance with.

OK – so what is different about your environment? Different WP theme? Different WP plugins?

It sounds like a simple JavaScript conflict of some sort. You should be able to check for this using your browsers web console to hunt down script errors…

Brand new server, new theme, and some plugins are new. I am not seeing any script errors via browser debug. I tried turning off plugins and I am still experiencing the same issue.

Any idea if why I may not be seeing anything errors generated, yet I am having issues?

Yes. I can send you an admin login. Will do so via PM.

OK – I will be here for a little longer

I don’t even see the front forum page. It seems to die with an iFrame call to http://mcc.godaddy.com and I have no idea what that is about!

Did you try updating the forum permalink in case it has got lost?  Would be unusual on a new instal but who knows. Forum admin > Integration > Page and permalink – update permalink button.

Is there any chance of granting the account you created SP Admin status?

So now I DO see the forum front page. When I click on topic and it is blank I see this error in the console:

GET http://mcc.godaddy.com/park/…. and a whole long string of chars – and the error is:

net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT

So do you know what that is all about?

OK – and all the forum permalinks are pointing at a .com address not a .biz address. Did you change it and not update the permalinks?

Yes, I sent you a PM with admin login.

I have no idea what that message is in reference to. This site is on a new server with a fresh WP install that is less than 4 weeks in development.  I only got around to customizing the FORUM only today. So the last thing I anticipated was to have issues. 

And the permalink question?

Ok, now I have a better understanding on your permalink question. This site was running on a different domain and we simply redirected the server to a new URL. It appears that almost all Permalinks on our site were automatically re-written accept for the forum.

There are not that many plugins that define their own rewrite rules (permalinks). Updating the WP permalinks will almost always need an update to the forum ones as well even though they should get picked up by the main refresh.

So I would guess that the missing iFrame and error I was seeing is the host trying to put up some sort of 404 message while at the same time denying access probably due to the old url.

Must admit I am a little surprised by the permalinks issue as this was a new install so it should have picked it up form the WP base url as set in Settings > General.
