Support Forum

Assuming you are referring to the actual login button in the forum header area and by 'not working' you mean nothing happens when it is clicked then I am afraid I need to ask the usual 2 questiona when this sort of thing comes up.

Firstly - was it working before you noticed it was not working and, if so, what changed? Things like that don't generally just stop. Which means that most usually something has happened to the site like - for example, a new WordPress plugin added, or a change of WordPress theme or sometimes just a plugin or theme update to add new features.

And, if in doubt then you could always use the web console to see if any errors are being reported. See the link below for some basic guidance on using that.

The problem, of course, is that Simple:Press Javascript is already compressed and optimised. So any attempt to do it again is, as you found, going to render it useless.

All WordPress supplied script libraries are also compressed. Any half decent plugin will also supply compressed scripts. These sort of optimisation plugins have always seemed, to me, more trouble than they are worth due to the very fact of mixed scripts.

Also worth saying that some of the better ones should offer you the opportunity to exclude some script files.

if you really want to make use of it - then from the forum viewpoint you will need to:

1. Go to the forum admin > options and ensure that the option to combine and compress the JS files is turned off.
2. Edit your wp-config.php file and add the line below:

   define('SP_SCRIPTS_DEBUG', true);

   which will cause SP scripts to run in uncompressed mode.

In my personal opinion I think that would be a mistake bit it is, of course, your call.
