Hi Guys

Any ideas re. the above. It's a new install everything seems to work except those two buttons.

Cheers

One thing we have found that could be the culprit is if another WP plugin is loading an alternate tooltips script to ours these two buttons seem to stop - although I have no idea why just these two!

You might be able to tell if the tooltips on ther forum buttons look like ordinary, unstyled tooltips. or of you can give me a link I can take a look for you.

I think it's the tooltip issue we have seen before. Try the following to find out...

the theme you are using (BareBones) has a file in the /templates folder called spFunctions.php. Open it for editing (you can use the theme editor in the SP admin > themes section).

Right at the top you will see a define statement for tooltips and a note on how to turn it off. Change the 'true' to 'false' - save - clear your browser cache - try the front end forum again and see if that resolves things.

That is all sorted now.

Thank you so much for your help, I would never have found that.

Good news.

You really should use a child theme of course that will preserve the edit when the main parent theme gets updated. Child themes are free from our store and you simply make the change in that and use that theme instead of the parent.

Full use details of child themes can be found here: https://simple-press.com/docum.....ild-theme/

I have a similar problem, however changing the tooltips option did not fix it.  The  add topic button on the topic display page works fine, however the add reply button does not work.  On the forum display page, the add topic button does not work.  When inspecting these buttons, the href attribute is not populated on the buttons that don't work.  I attempted to trace this back, but I'm not understanding where these functions go.

I'm not exactly sure when this stopped working, but I haven't done anything except for wordpress and simple:press updates - no other custom coding.

I also tried using the default wordpress theme and also tried different simple:press themes - none of them made any difference.

I also experimented with disabling plugins and disabling all caching - no change in behavior at all.

Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Let's start by asking  you to check in your web console for script errors. Open the forum page and then try the operations again and see if anything gets reported.

If you have no experience with the console then this FAQ should help point the way: https://simple-press.com/docum.....r-console/

Always try and just ensure that only the 'errors;' reporting is selected...

Wow - I missed that one - there is a plugin - Photo Gallery which is throwing the following error:

ReferenceError: bwg_set_shortcode_popup_dimensions is not defined

I deactivated that plugin and the buttons are working.  I can't believe I missed that.

Thank you - I will pursue with that plugin.
