After uploading my file upload plugin into the correct folder, I went into the plugin settings of my simple-press forum and activate this plugin.  Now the entire forum is black with texts all over the place like the scripting or code is not correct.  Please help!

It’s fine now.  I think activating the WP Super Cache plugin didn’t sit well with it.  After deactivating the WP Super Cache, the forum looks fine now.

Okay, it’s doing it again.  My forum screen is once again turning black with codes all over the place.  What’s can I do to fix this?

It used to be a white background with menus more neatly arranged.  See the comparison with the 2 image attachments.  I can see the white background when I’m logged in.  But once I log out of wordpress, the forum has a black background.

It looks like it’s a plugin-related issue.  I activated almost all of the plugins available through simple press for the forum.  By deactivating and deleting more than half of those plugins, my forum now has a white functional background again.  I wonder which plugin is not compatible?

try it one by one…   and perhaps go to forum – options – global settings and try turning off the combined css cache file…

Hi there, what are some of the disadvantages of disabling combined css cache files and script (JS) files?

There are performance benefits to your server. If combined only a single http request is needed for each file. If not combined an http request is needed for each individual css and js file. This can slow down page loading as http requests for an be somewhat slow.

The number of js and css files you have will be determined by the number of sp plugins you are using. This only applies to sp stuff not other wp themes or plugins.

Additionally, IE versions before 10 have a limit of 32 css files that can be read per page load. So if you have more than that css files fro wp theme, wp plugins and SP stuff, you will not get needed css loaded.

so did that help? turning off the combined css?

I thought it could work fine without having to turn off the combined CSS caching option, but just recently my background turned black again when I was logged in this time.  But when I logged out of wordpress, it turned white (opposite of what happened earlier).  So I turned off just the CSS combined caching option, and the background turned white again (for both scenarios – login and logout).  

Should I also turn off the combining and caching of JS files option too?  Is there any drawbacks to keeping both of these options turned off?

just some performance… more http requests – one per css file instead of one for all…  its best to leave both on…  but if for some reason having css issue, try just turning that one off…

I answered  your question previously btw in post #10 https://simple-press.com/support-forum/sp5-plugin-topics/file-upload-plugin-turned-my-screen-black-and-texts-are-all-over-the-place/#p120868

Okay, I’ll leave the combined JS file option turned on then.  Do you know what is the cause for the white forum background to turn black?  Since you said it’s better to leave both of those options on, I think there must be a way for me to leave both of them on without having to worry about the background changing color on me.

Thanks.
