Hi,

I had to permanantly delete the wordpress page called “Forum” due to theme issues.

Then I re-created it – same name, same path.

Simple press is not loading anymore.

When going to http://appgo2market.com/forum , I can an empy page with the title forum.

I also tried short code [Forum].

Doesn’t work.

 

Could you please advise, how can I bring it back to life ?

Thanks,

Ronen.

I would be most interested to know what is meant by this? Why should the WP theme care about a specific page title?

Yes – go to the forum admin > Integration > Page and Permalink panel:

  1. Select the new page from the drop down list at the top.
  2. Update the panel using the button at the very bottom of the form.
  3. Click on the Update Forum Permalink button half way down to finosh.

Thanks Swordfish.

Regarding your question, Thesis theme has a bug.

One can’t change the page template if the page was created before thesis was installed.

The workaround is to delete old pages and re-create them again.

It’s not about the title, it’s about creating a page after thesis was installed and not before.

I wanted to change the look and remove the right extra column, letting the forum be on the whole page and couldn’t “save” the page template unless I re-created it.

interesting…  seems like that bug would affect a whole ton of users…

but at least a simple, harmless workaround since no data stored on the page… just a few clicks… thanks for the info!

and glad we could help…
