I mentioned that in the "plugins" section of Wordpress, it tells me that Simple-Press is ready to be removed. 

Is it possible to save my posts and then reinstall everything somehow?

Or would I need to begin new with a fresh installation?

Do not remove or try a re-install. Go to the forum admin > Toolbox > Uninstall panel and uncheck the uninstall option and update that panel.

Yes - it would be easist of you could create an account for us. If you are willing to make that account an SP Admin (do not need WP Admin capability) then that might save time if we needed ot later.

Please PM credentials to both myself and to 'Mr Papa'. Please include in the PM a link to your site, a link to this thread and brief reminder of the problem. And one of us will take a look for you.

I found the culprit. It was the W3-Total-Cache plugin.

At some point I must have lost the settings and it wasn't finding the hostname. 

When I "disabled" the plugins, I very likely broke something else..or didn't clear my cache. Since I had to restore a backup to restore my forum, i likely lost track of things.

So, everything appears to work now. (I just need to clean up the designs and such)

Wow - that IS good news and the first time I have heard that being the cause. Often the cause of other problems but not usually this one!

I'm also having this issue and read through this thread but not sure how to resolve it. Bottom line when I have the TinyMCE plugin activated, the post field does not work.

I don't have WP Super Cache activated, and do not have any other TinyMCE plugins installed.

I have the latest version of WP.

Any suggestions to resolve this issue?

This usually comes down to another theme or plugin that is attempting to add some buttons to the tinymce editor - not necessarily a tinymce plugin...  When you create a wp post, do you have any non standard buttons?  ones that a theme or plugin would add?

do you have a link, we can see in the tinymce init if there are any obvious buttons...

Yes, I'm using an "Elegant Theme: The Source" template and they add their own extra buttons to the editor - for shortcodes.

I decided to add the standard WP TINYMCE Plugin, then I activated the Forum TinyMCE plugin too and that seemed to resolve the issue. Posting works fine now.

That likely means the theme is improperly adding the buttons... they nprobably made a bad assumption that the wp tinymce editor was only nshowing in the wp admin... but thats not how the wp folks designed it as nan api...

Can you find where in the theme they add them? often its a simple as nhooking into admin_init vs init... and it will only do its thing in the nadmin...

I'd need my programmer to look up where the theme has their shortcodes added. It's working fine now at least.
