Hi guys i run a repair business and have been looking for a "decent" wp forum for 3 years, i have tried mingle, bb press, wp-forum and buddypress. None of them really did a good job. 

 

I then came across this site and decided to install Simple Press. Guys you have an amazing product here ;) it touches all my buttons anyway in the back end (no pun intended).

 

I have just one query, i cannot get this to work, well i can not get it to work with Woocommerce.

 

There is a strange problem, as soon as i activate SimplePress my "shop" page changes (and turns into my blog posts) and all products from categories disappear. There seems to be a conflict somewhere.

I have re-saved permalinks, set the right page in Simple Press integration etc

 

Is there anyone on here who can help me please.

 

Many Thanks

Damian

The only problem I can remember co-habiting with WooCommerce was an issue over url rewriting which I am not sure ever got resolved. The user with the issue stopped talking to us mid-thread!

But for starters can you please try this. Go to the forum admin > Integration > Page and Permalink. Firstly make sure the correct page is selected at the top and change AND update the whole panel if not. Then click on the Update Forum  Permalink button about half way down the panel. Try running the forums including links to topics etc. Then try whatever in WooCommerce.

If still a probpem can you repeat the whole procedure but try WooCommerce first and then the forum. See if any different.

Not really sure what you mean by 'changing the page'. Simple:Press uses just the one, single page that was created when it installed. The rest is done with the WordPress 'rewrite rule' engine. I was under the impression that WooCommerce used the same approach.

I am not by any means trying to pass the buck here but I think it would be wroth contacting the Woo guys as well in case they have any light to shed on the issue as they may well have faced such a support question themselves. And I will do another search through the archives although I an pretty sure that is the only problem we have ever known about.

strange.  we have multiple users that use woo commerce and simple press (I have too but not currently)...

You are using different pages for woo and sp, right

If you have a schedule and are willing to pay, I would contact BrandonC here at SP... he does a lot of our customization work and is quite familiar with woo commerce too... I will send him an email too...

Andy and I are willing to take a look, but its on a time availability schedule...
