Hi, I migrated a forum on Freedompractices.net/forum/  onto UmaaTantra.com/ut/forum/ and KundaliniAwakeningProcess.com/blog/forum/ (half the subforums went to each website). 

I am very grateful that the SP Support Forums admins helped me with some migration issues…

Now another two issues have arisen on UmaaTantra.com but not (yet) on KundaliniAwakeningProcess.com:

1) The WP admin login on UmaaTantra.com is not instantly logging me in to UmaaTantra.com/ut/forum/ 

2) The login button at the upper right hand corner of the forum is no longer clickable, but gives

” javascript:void(0); ”    on mouseover of the button… this is to users and admin alike… no way to login from the forum page, and users already logged into WordPress are not being treated like they are logged in to the forum…

Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated.  I have tried resetting the combined js cache, to no avail…

Thank you for your time and expertise!

JavaScript:void(0) is NOT an error. it is the correct ‘target’ for this particular link.

You most probably have a JavaScript conflict – your wp theme or another plugin – which needs to be fixed. This codex article explains what this means and what to look for:

Thank you Yellow Swordfish, I think I’ve found the plugin conflict! :-)

Sounds good. More often than not the problem (if the jQuery problem) can be fixed up.

Regrettably, I spoke too soon…

I’ve tried deactivating and reactivation every plugin that draws from alternate script locations (both individually and all together,

I’ve tried reverting to a default WordPress Theme (2011)

I’ve reset the browser cache and tried alternate browsers

I’ve again reset the combined js cache in SP

Unfortunately, nothing has worked so far; the forum login button is still unclickable (as is the search button…)

What might I try next? Is it possible I have more than a jQuery issue?

Thank you again,

Tao Semko!

SP error logs show a bunch of this kind of recurring error today, if it’s a help:

first, those are warnings not errors… ;)

and it indicates an issue on your server with using the combined caches… I would suggest that you disable the combined css and js caches on forum – options – global settings…

then go to forum – toolbox – error log and clear the log…

then see if the warning comes back… and more importantly, if the issue clears itself up…

it might help if you could give us a link to your site so we can look for conflicts/issues…
