Unable to Edit or Delete Forums

The forums plug-in was working fine. I was able to edit and delete entries. I tried today, and am now unable to to edit my forums or delete them. I am not sure what could be causing this problem. I did have to generate a new htaccess file the other day, could this have done something? If so, how would I fix the problem?

Thanks,

Tonnie

Was that for just a normal change to your permalinks? If so then I doubt that would be the culprit. But perhaps explaining what tjhe change was for might be useful.

Any other changes? Other plugins? Theme updates etc?

And have you tried closing down and restarting your browser?

I had to delete the original htaccess file due to a permalink change. I did add the WP-Polls plugin and the Hide Update Message plugin. When I click on the Edit link, in the forum, it just takes me back to the page, but I can’t make any changes.

so are you able to update the .htaccess by updating your wp permalinks?  or do you get an error which might indicate your replacement file has wrong owners or permissions…

just to be clear, you said editing or deleting forums, so you are having an issue in the sp admin?

Yes, I am able to update the .htaccess file. I did not get an error message.

The problem is only with the forums. I also just tried to add a new topic to the forum. When I try to delete the topic, I get the confirmation to delete but then it takes me back to the same page and never deletes.

oh, so front end and deleting topics or posts, not forums…  glad I clarified wink

in the admin, be worth going to forum – integration – page and permalink and updating the forum permalink and see if it helps…

do you have a link to your site?
