Support Forum

it works for hundreds of thousands, so lets not yell   and figure out what is going on locally…

Sorry.  It's been a while since I've posted on a forum.  I forgot that UPPERCASE was yelling.  I'll watch that. . .

so are you able to get to other admin panels?  if so, anything on forum – toolbox – error log?

I've looked at the error log file, and I don't see anything in the error log that seems related.  There are quite a few entries in that log, but they didn't occur when I tried to update the permalinks.  Here is an example of an error from the error log (they're all pretty much about the same subject):

file: /simple-press/forum/content/sp-common-view-functions.php

line: 2466

function: Unavailable

Notice | Trying to get property of non-object

I did notice an error in the change log:

First, it says it didn't find a change log for build 9877. then the following error appears:

Fatal error:  Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in /problem-with-post-edit-buttonome/c1799428/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-press/admin/panel-toolbox/forms/spa-toolbox-changelog-form.php on line 45

when you say you tried manually to update it, do you mean the forum permalink on forum – integration – page and permalink?  and on same panel, is that page selected from the dropdown?

Yes.

any pages in the trash?

No.

no pages?  no users?  we dont create pages or users… they are part of wp… the only thing we will create is a single wp page to display the forum on…  I assume when you said you verified the wp page slug as forum, the page was indeed created…

I just mean that, in the virgin test site I created, I didn't muddy the waters by creating users or pages.  The install did create the single Forum page, with the forum slug in it.

If you would like, I could give email you an administrative login/password for the site so you could look at it.  It is not my production site, just a dummy for testing.

Thanks for the assistance
