Wee we don’t have a plugin named ’email;-subscriptions’ which is the name of the folder referenced above. Do you have any idea why the folder is called that when it should just be ‘subscriptions’?

I’ve gone in through ftp and removed the forum plug-ins.  Still get the error messages.

When accessing the forum via the internet using the URL, this is the error –

Warning: include_once(/usr/problem-with-post-edit-buttonome/ivyworldwide/public_html/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins/plupload/library/sp-plupload-components.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/problem-with-post-edit-buttonome/ivyworldwide/public_html/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins/image-plupload/sp-plupload-plugin.php on line 161

This file doesn’t seem to exist – sp-plupload-plugin.php  – in the folder listed.

Renaming the plug-in folder via ftp worked to bring things back up, but doesn’t solve the underlying problem. 

Is there something I might be missing when installing the plug-ins?

Ahhh, the light bulb just went off.  I’m almost back to normal.  Will activate things one at a time and watch the results, but you’ve set me on the right track!

Thanks!!

yes. same issue with the directory name for the plugin… not sure how you got those – not like that in our downloads…

Now that I’m on the right track for this, I’ve reinstalled the plug-ins and things seem to be working on the site. I’m going to activate each plug-in separately and test before adding more.

After activating Blog Link I’ve tried to set options to create a link to the relative forum.  The drop down box for the forum selection is empty.  The Blog Link shows on the New Post in WP, but there is no other info there – just the words “Blog Link.”

No form? No check box for editing? None of that?

And you say it says ‘Blog Link’? This is a term we do NOT display in the write post page. Should have a section actually entitled ‘Link to Forum’.

Do you have any other plugins that are creating new items on the write post page? Or removing them?

Or – here’s a thought… what about in the screen options at the top? Is it just hidden?

I thought screenshots might make it easier to explain.  I sent via email, but don’t see the reply here, so guessing it didn’t make it.

OK this is a very strange and so far unique problem.

Can you please check something for me? We have had one or two users with admin permission problems stemming from the last update. Ss far these are unexplained but we are working on it.

Could you – when logged in as the SP admin – go to the profile (forum profile that is) and open the permissions tab. Take a look at one or two forums. As an admin they should ALL be turned on and available. But are any of them turned off?

No luck.  Still nothing showing in the dropdown box.  I did all the updates yesterday hoping that it might solve the problem, but didn’t help.

I’d also replied via email (no attachments) and didn’t get a response, nor did it show up here.

We’re testing our forums extensively before moving to the live server, so we’d love to help you out with this once we get the other bug worked out.  It’s one of the main reasons we’re moving to SP.

Thanks for all your help!  Definitely worth paying for the subscription!

Solved!

Not sure why the first installation didn’t work, but apparently when I deactivated it, it killed the option for the allowed users group to create the link from the blog to the discussion forum.  After going through each one again after a new install, selecting the radio button on the permissions, saving and then going back to the plug-in, the forum option is showing up.

Good deal. I was just about to go into a few tests to see if I could duplicate. It does make sense that checking to see if a permission to create a link a blog post is tied in with the ability to actually create a WP post.

I will create a tracking ticket on this so it can be double checked.
