Ok. I updated the storage locations with directories that are “Write-OK” .now the “Storage location” page doesnt show any error. I also added sp-plugin-scripts-footer.js and sp-plugin-styles-all.css to wp-content directory since I got this error

Warning: fopen(/f5/geekgardener/public/wp-content/sp-plugin-scripts-footer.js) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /f5/geekgardener/public/wp-content/plugins/simple-press/sp-api/sp-api-plugins.php on line 722

Now the above error vanished. When I visit the forum it the error I get is

Check your “wp_sfauths” database table. Do you have more than 7 entries (or any at all)?  I’m testing an upgrade from 4.4 to 5.4 and discovered that the wp_sfauths table got created but it didn’t get populated. Perhaps the spa_setup_auths() function needed to be run during the upgrade process?

Peter,

I just checked the wp_sfauths and found only one entry in that. Am I missing the other entries?
How do we add them now?

You can run “Permissions > Reset Permissions” and then set up your forum permissions again.  I’m not sure whether there is an automated solution other than that.

Peter,

That actually did the trick!  I am yet to test it out completely but the forum is loading and I can see the threads.

thanks once again

mani.

(Thanks Peter)

Yes – I am afraid we had a few (still too many but it was quite a small number) where the permissions became corrupted upon upgrade between V4 and V5 – an issue we have never been able top get to the bottom of I sorry to say.

As Peter recommended and you have found the reset does the trick but do note his comment about checking your user group/permission settings on each of your forums.

So – are things generally looking better now the folders are all correct and in their proper place?
