Reinstallation of Simple:Press

Ok, I've tracked it down.

It has something to do with the theme I am using.

Basically, when I switch to another theme the forum admin section in the dashboard has the correct look and all functionality. When I go to my preferred theme it takes on a slightly different look and does not function correctly.

I have emailed the theme author to see what can be done. If there were a way to make it so that the theme would not affect the dashboard then perhaps I can get it rolling properly.

I also know that the widgets that are designed by the author have an adverse affect on the forums. Not all of them, but some of them.

So it sounds like it may be the use of javascript. Odd that it should be loading on the admin side though. Will be most interested to know what happens next please.

So I am still tinkering with it while waiting to hear back from the author and I discovered this...

When I remove the javascript folder in the theme the full functionality of Simple:Press returns in the dashboard.

Then I guess javascript is the problem, but doesn't that then have a knock on effect on the functionality of your theme? Possibly only in the dashboard of course..

I am trying to isolate which exact script is the culprit and I think I found it -

var $ = jQuery.noConflict();
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.yesido').on('click', function(){
$('.warrning-button').fadeOut( 'slow' )

});

});

This runs a file that gives the theme user an option to select a predetermined/sample style for the homepage widget configuration.

With this disabled I am having no issues.

I re-enabled it to see what the outcome would be by inserting it back into the js folder and selecting a sample homepage... and sure enough, it went back to having issues.

I also cannot use any of the author widgets in the forum sidebar as they are showing sections of the forum rather than showing the correct info.

forum in widgets?  have you looked at forum - integration - page and permalink, and the options there?  namely the display multiple and display in loop options...  no to display in multiple and only display in loop...

That corrected the issue.

Thank you very much for the help.

My experience so far with Simple:Press and everyone involved has been very impressive. I'm looking forward to taking my forums to the next level for my users.
