Since upgrading to the most recent version, it seems we're missing our link to our inbox and the ability to PM each other. Is there a setting for this that I am missing?

Thank you.

I am an admin. It's my site. I forget which version I upgraded from. I checked the change log, but it seems to indicate updates I never did. I may have updated from 4.5, but the change log shows many updates between that and the current version of 5.3.4.

Well let's ask from a different perspective. Do you actually have the Private Messaging plugin installed and active?

LOL - I didn't know it was a separate plugin. Was it in the earlier version? I've taken over forum admin from a previous admin. Thank you!

No it wasn't - which was why I was asking about the version you were previously using.

Please see our codex  and take a look at the Using Plugins article (plugins section of course!)

And you can download plugins from the plugins link on our Download page.

[Image Can Not Be Found]So I installed and activated - and now there is no forum. Nothing. http://fanfic.me/community/   I may have to uninstall before you see this, but there is no forum on this page - even the theme isn't displaying.  Edited: the entire site is displaying like this! 

 

I CANNOT GET INTO /wp-admin/    Please help URGENT!

My guess is that you have experienced the WP problem with plugin installs but let's check. The private messaging plugin should create a folder in the forum-plugins storage location called 'private-messaging'. Can you check the folder name to ensure it does not have a '-1' on the end and if ot does - rename it accordingly.

If not the how did you installl it please?

Can you give me the exact folder to be checking, please. I'm in /wp-content/plugins/simple-press and I am not finding plugins there or in /admin or /forum.

 

Please tell me where to find the plugin in my file structure. Thank you.
