System requirements are here: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....uirements/. But that should be fine as it is checked on install and in any case WP also needs the same minimum versions.

So - I can see there are no plugins! That is about as bare a system as you could run. So - it comes back to the server in some way. Could you ask your host of they can shed any light on why POST variables are being discarded/ignored?

OK - I was able to do a screenshare w/ the developer who hosts/manages our site and we were able to do a lot of troubleshooting, which I hope will be helpful!

  1. He wrote a simple test to verify that POST array is being recognized, which it is.In addition, other POST-related functions in the forum are working properly (i.e. REPLY and ADD topic).
  2. We confirmed our environment, and we are running the correct versions of everything - 5-10-2012-11-15-46-AM.pngImage Enlarger
  3. We discovered a number of errors in the log - one was due to invalid time zone (FIXED), the others were due to an inability to get stats from sp_get_option. we commented out these lines so that the program should continue to execute. At that point we were able to get rid of all the errors in the log, but the edit button still was not working.
  4. we also tried deactivating all the plugins (on both forum and within simple press) but edit function was still not working.
  5. Our developer thinks it may have to do w/ the javascript redirect. He noticed there is a seemingly older version (1.7.1 vs. 1.8.16) of jquery being called when viewing the source of a forum page -
    <script type='text/javascript' src='wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.7.1'></script>

timezone issue... just an annoying notice... hopefully we will get that fixed in 5.1 but does not affect anything really...

5)  we do NOT load any jquery... we simply tell wp to load the jquery it ships with... and besides you are confusing jquery and jquery ui...  jquery is version 1.7.1 and jquery ui is 1.18.16... those are proper current wp versions....  and keep in mind that jquery and jquery ui are NOT the same thing...  jquery ui is an additional library that uses jquery...

sorry if I missed it by I dont see a link to your site... can you provide so we can take a look?

is your host running mod_security?? they may need to whitelist simple press or deactivate it (its about worthless anyways)...

No, we are not running mod_security.

I will PM you the credentials as this is a secured site.

Thanks!

Not sure if this is somehow related...but also noticed that forum/member stats are not showing up on the forum. Also, it's not showing any names under Moderators/Administrators...stats.pngImage Enlarger

You are being very patient! I have been gone for the last week but I see your problems are still there. I really do believe we are looking at some kind of environmental issue here as last time I looked everything seemed to be set up correctly. And I feel pretty sure all of these issues - including the attachments issue - will come down to a single cause if we can but find it.

I am going to ask Steve to take a look this time and I note you have sent him a PM with credentials. Maybe he canm spot something I can't.

Just wanted you to know you are not being ignored.

so since the account you sent us has very limited access, a couple questions...  what version of php are you running?  and what flavor (ie cgi, dso, etc)?

it seems to be dorking with $_GET and $_POST variables...  and doing some odd redirects... are you forcing any kind of redirection?  ie in your .htaccess or other?

is there any particular reason why you are running with the ugly default permalinks (also bad for SEO)?  any chance that you could do a temp switch to a custom, friendly permalink and see if that makes any difference?

Hi - I will send you admin access as well as contents of my htaccess file via PM. There is another line in there that might have something to do with it?

Here's the PHP info...and yes, am willing to switch to seo friendly permalink; let me know if you still need me to try that (and how to do) after looking at this info, plus contents of the PM.
