Hi,

Please see this link: http://www.urlgone.com/fa8996/

Try clicking ‘Forum’ in the navigation, and you’ll see forum loads without styles, etc….

But, if you then refresh/reload on that forum URL, the forum comes up fine.

Theme author says this… “This is happening, because that plugin only loads the styles and scripts when that page is fully loaded. Because the theme is loading pages using AJAX calls when you click on the menu, the plugin does not detect that it’s needed to load those elements. To avoid this you need to turn off the Ajax Calls feature under Samba Options>General tab>Use Ajax calls to load content and set it to no.”

However, we’d like to keep the Ajax.

Is there a setting in S:P that will allow it to work correctly?

Thanks again guys for the great work,

M

to be honest, not sure what the developer is saying…  styles are loaded in the head tags… scripts can be either in header or footer.. by default its header.. looks like you did change it to footer…  you can try switching it back to header on forum – integration – page and permalink…

also, you are using a php theme for sp… that is, the css file is a php file and requires php parsing… that may not be occurring when loading via ajax…  try switching to the css only sp theme and seeing if that helps…

on forum – integration – page and permalink you could also try enabling the strict wp api option and seeing if that helps…

Tried all the suggestions to no avail.

1. header/footer switch

2. css only theme

3. wp api force

Will have my guys check it and maybe find a solution.

Any other ideas are appreciated.

Thanks

will continue thinking on it…

more than likely going to be problematic…  simple press uses standard wp hooks to load stuff and accomplish tasks…  if just the page content section of a wp page is loaded, then those standard wp hooks (ie wp_head and wp_foot) wont be called and the forum wont know to do its thing…

I think thats what the developer was trying to allude to…  the standard wp hooks were already fired once for whatever page was loaded… if you load another page via ajax and dont fire the standard hooks, then the plugin is never even notified that a page was loaded…
