Okay.. so I’m working on setting up a SP forum. When in the admin side there is a button on the upper-hand hand “go to forum”.. I’ve seen it work once. Now it simply goes to a 404 page. What should I be doing? I don’t want the forum to be public yet, I still need to configure it.. dont’ have groups or forums defined for instance. But I want to set up the colors to match my site etc.
Thanks,
Forum admin > Integration > Page and Permalink…
is there a WP page selected at the top to display the forum on? And if not then please select one. Then after that, save the updated settings and then click on the update forum permalink button about half way down.
Any change?
Thanks for reply. That did not do it.
Also deleted the WP page “forum” then I made a new page in WP admin called “letstalk” set that up and still it’s not connecting.
What next?
so – what are the two urls? (1) The forum page url and (2) The url on the button in the admin? What is the difference?
Should be here: http://www.sharinghousing.com/forum-2

Should work, yes?
Seems that I fixed taht problem.. but now changing themes is not working.
I had a problem yesterday when I corrupted the .htaccess file. Do you think I should simply delete Simple Press and start over? I’m not so far down the line that that wouldn’t be a good option?
Shouldn’t be necessary – at least let’s hear more. What does ‘not working’ mean?
Glad to hear that. It seems that there is a delay I’m not expecting.
So when I came back to this in fact the them I had chosen did render in the forum. But when I went to change the overlay, I save, I can see it working, I choose “go to forum” and my change isnt’ there. Cache? I expect it to be instant… not so?
Tahnks
wont be our caching… but of course, if you are running a wp cache plugin, you will need to tell it to ignore the wp page the forum is on since our content is all dynamic on that single wp page…
if you choose a different theme, ie css, you may need to clear your browser cache…
