Hello-

I'm having an issue with both the login button and the add a topic button… the login button shows javascript:void(0); and the Add a Topic button shows javascript:void(null); upon rollover…

I have to login to WP because I can't use the login button on the forum page… If I am logged in to WP as the admin that's when I see the Add a Topic button that unfortunately also won't work…

All the other buttons seem to work.

Help! I'm desperate!

the javascript:void(0) is irrelevant - it just means that the onclick attribute of the link is used and not the href...

but its still more than likley a js/jquery conflict... if you can give us a link, we can check for the obvious wp theme doing things wrong... 

more reading too:  http://codex.simple-press.com/.....-conflict/

In order to view the site, you would have to modify your local host file... can I email my credentials to you instead of posting on the forum?

have you looked for a jquery conflict as indicated in the codex article?

If you want to PM the details to yellow swordfish and myself (with a link to this topic and brief reminder of the issue) we can take a look too...

I just sent a PM to both Mr Papa and Yellow Swordfish with the details... Please note that the http:// is not necessary for the local host file edit... the email placed that there automatically...

Simon - I will let you know how this goes...

Simon, the solution has been found many times... did you read the codex article linked to in post #2?  and try to resolve the conflict? 

If you dont know that, then a link to your site is needed to look for the conflict... its usually not the same fix from wp theme to wp theme...  but is as the codex article says about improperly coded themes...

Scott, will try to look this evening...

Thank you! If you have any questions about modifying the local host file, check out the quick video I made...

http://www.absolute0.net/video.....lhostFile/

BTW, I did read through the Codex and understand why there might be a problem, but as a designer with a fair amount of programming expertise, I had no idea what to do with the information... eek

 

I appreciate your help!
