So, I have a new installation of Simple Press (latest version) with most of the plugins installed and enabled.  Everything looks fine (http://deepesthealth.com/forum/).  I'm integrating with Wishlist Member and have followed the instructions to create WP roles, map them to SP user groups and so on.  That all seems to be fine.

What's not fine is something quite strange.

I've had two users with different permission levels try to add topics.  They can click the button to add the topic, it brings up the editing window (just like what I'm typing into right now here on the Simple Press forum).  They can add the topic name just fine.  

However, when they click to go into the place where you edit the body/content of the topic, nothing happens.  The cursor simply does nothing.  They cannot enter the window to create text.  Different browsers, different permission levels, etc...

To be clear, the forum is NOT in read only mode.  

Thoughts?

Oh dear - more problems.
You need to look at this codex article: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....-conflict/

Your site - maybe the WP theme - is loading jQuery AND the jQuery UI from the google cdn. It is also not loading it using the WP API so there are two ciopies loaded plus the main jQuery library is an oldish one.

These issues are usually pretty easy to fix but you need to locate where in the code they are being loaded.

Ok, I've contacted my designer.  We'll see how it goes.  Seems that there is one plugin that could also be causing the trouble, so we'll see what I come up with.  Fortunately, things seem to improve when I disable the rich text editor plugin.  So, there's that.  🙂

That combination of jQuery conflicts will effect other areas as well.
let us know if you need any help or guidance

Designer figured out which plugin was causing the trouble, something that makes accordion style menus and a few other things.  It's not needed right  now (future need) so we just disabled it and now everything is working fine.  Just thought I'd let you all know.  🙂

Good news! thanks for update... would be nice if theme and plugin designer quit violating the wp api like that... no way for plugins to test with their unique version of jquery...
