I noticed when I click on the profile tab (to edit my profile) it goes to a text page instead of it showing within that box. 

so i have a text page which obviolsy doesn't look pretty.  on top of that if i try to change my avatar using the text page....nothing happens when i click browse to upload a icon

when I click add topic button...nothing happens

Also the pop up box when you click a user or the the i for simple press at the bottom didn't pop up until i went to integration and selected Load JavaScript in footer.

 I have tried disabling almost every pluggin.  I think its my dang theme :(

Please any help would be MUCH appreciated.  i have no coding skills

Oh dear - many, many errors showing up I am sorry to say. The basic probpem is this: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....-conflict/

Your theme is loading at least 2, maybe 3 components incorrectly. To make matters worse something that appears to be some sort of login form replacement is loading a third copy of the same  script library - all differemt versions - at least 2 of which are incompatibile with WordPress.

Now these are usually pretty easy to fix up - at least when it is the theme. Other plugins can be a little harder. It;s not coding skills you need. It is just the ability to search through a few files looking for some code fragments. I would start with the theme - start with the functions.php file and see if you can see any lines of code that start with terms such as wp_deregister_script, wp_register_script and wp_enqueue-script. if you can find them, we can help you fix them.

Thanks Yellow Swordfish.

I had the guy that originally developed our website take a look (wordpress guru)  he has tried a few things like disabling all pluggins..So, we know it's not any of the plugins causing the error. Second, he replaced our current version of the Wisdom theme with a fresh, updated, unedited version (downloaded today from Themeforest.net) none that worked.  So looks like its a theme issue.  He gave me two files and asked if you could edit them with the appropriate changes and send them back to us.  The first file is the functions.php and the second file is the theme_functions.php

Do you mind doing this? and how can i send these to you  ?

 

Thank you we would really like to use this forum pluggin

As far as I can tell - without tracing all of the code - the following script libraries are being loaded incorrectly from supplied versions (old and out of date) - ALL of which should be loaded from the WordPress supplied libraries. These all appear in the themes functions.php file:

  • jQuery (main library)
  • ui.tabs (assuming this is the standard tabs from the UI library)
  • ui.widget (NOTE - in 2 places)
  • ui.progressbar
  • ui.core
  • ui.datepicker
  • ui.mouse
  • ui.slider

This WordPress Codex article - http://codex.wordpress.org/Fun.....eue_script - discusses how to properly enqueue script files - which is done correctly in your theme - but also lists the names of all the components supplied.

well I guess my theme sucks.  So I found a pluggin to use another theme just on my fourm page to get this to work its called multiple themes pluggin.  I have a test theme called Resistance....seems to work with your forum pluggin.  but ofcourse I need to tweak it a bit to make it look better.  one issue I noticed when I created a test topic the it the post doesn't not fit in the box properly

http://www.fishinglakes.com/fo.....est-topic/

thanks

That is caused simply by the nature of the column width being so small. I can tell you how to fix that up but as this is hopefully a temporary measure for you might it not be worth utilising a full width template if there is one available for that theme?

I see full width under template when I edit the page.  which it is set to..  Is there a way to edit a theme without activating it? 

 

and if I have to activate it....will I lose my settings from my other theme...?  I will need to switch back obviously and don't want to lose my settings

Well yes you can edit the theme files but you wonjt be able to see the result...

I can't guarantee anything in this respect but... the WordPress team have put quite a lot of effort into making sure that settings are preserved across theme changes and my own experience of this recently has been positive.

If you just need to make the minot adjustment to get the topics posts and information to align properly then this codex article does explain what needs to be done:
