Hello, I've made some changes to my wp_table prefix on wordpress and now my forums topics and stuff are not there. Well, they're still their it's just not visible, i'm assuming i have to manually tell it which table to look at where do I go to do this?

if you changed the wp prefix, did you actually update all the tables in the db?  was it manual or a plugin?  and did you change it in your wp-config.php file?

I used a plugin better wp-security and yes it automatically changed it on the wp-config.php but it still doesn't show. So, there must be another file that simple-press uses.

This is sort of urgent but please respond as soon as you can i'll be on here the whole day. Thanks

No, we dont use another file... the prefix comes directly from wp-config.php... however, as I asked originally, that plugin also has to change ALL the tables in the db... did it change ALL or just wp? you need to actually look at your db... I guess its possible you could have modified our config... sp-config.php in our plugin root... but by default we just set it to wp prefix...

Oh okay, well now it shows but it doesn't show up for me the administrator. The better Wp-Security Plugin has this option where I can change the user_id and I changed it. So, it doesn't show up for me when I'm logged in.

I already gave my new user id administration rights on SP but I still can't see the forum. I went to my database table and I don't know what to modify. I know I have to modify membership column on the sp_members table but when I copy it from a user that has already signed up and posted it I still can't see the forums.

 

I could go more indepth with you but I don't know if you have the time. If you do please PM Me thank you!

in sfmembers, find the row for you your user... search on display name... look at the user id there... does it match the wp user id you changed the account to? if not, make it the same...

why answer in pm?  takes longer to deal with since forum topics get priority...

so what is not displaying?  the entire forum? or posts?  you would get errors if the prefix was wrong... sounds more like a permission...

when you are logged in, go to your SP profile, the permissions tab... for a forum in question, look at the permissions... perhaps take a snapshot and post it here...

like pm, support will be much quicker through the forum than email...  answering questions we pose is the only way to get to the bottom of it... 

as mentioned in previous one, I dont think it has anything to do with prefix... you forum would not display at all with errors if that was the case...  sounds like you are just missing the post content - based on your comments..

I don't know what was the problem but I don't want to go through with it anymore. I sent you guys an email asking for a refund. You can check my site out and see I don't have the forum anymore.
