Hello. I just had a vBulletin forum converted to Simple:Press. Everything worked just great EXCEPT that no matter the user (admin or regular member), this message is displayed when a topic in the "New/Recently Updated Topics" drop down is submitted:

"Access denied - you do not have permission to view this page"

When navigating to the same topic the "usual" way, the page comes up just fine.

I have searched these forums and google already for a solution, but I'm coming up empty.

Can you help me resolve this? Thank you. 🙂

Can you give us a link to your forum page? It sounds possibly like an AJAX issue...

I'm happy to say that is working after I used your rebuild indexes option in the Toolbox. Thanks for putting that in! smile

Another issue -- is there a way to recount user posts? I had two user accounts in WP, but only one forum account (in vbulletin). The conversion hooked up my forum posts with the wrong user account. So then I went into the db and changed the user id for all my posts so they would match up to the right user, and that's all working great. But now the count is off. confused

afraid you will have to make the count change in the db too... look in the sfmembers table... for each user, there will be a posts column... just update as needed...

Thanks!

And one more question? How do you get that "Unread and recently updated topics" on the forum home page below all the forums? I can't find it anywhere - a plugin? a setting?

Its built in to all our themes... who is not showing for? by default, its not shown to admins (assumption is that admin bar is in use), but users and mods would see it... so is it just admin not seeing it or anyone?

to enable for admins, in your spGroupView.php template file of the sp theme you are using (its your own sp theme, right?), find this line near bottom:

sp_RecentPostList('show=10', __sp('Unread and recently updated topics'));

and change it to

sp_RecentPostList('show=10&admins=1', __sp('Unread and recently updated topics'));

and it will be shown to admins too...

Ah, I see! It is not showing for me and I am admin. As long as I know it is showing for everyone else (which I will test), then I'm happy and don't need to alter the theme. Well, maybe, I might change my mind. laugh
