try to update them from my wordpress dashboard but still does not update itself

Can you describe what you mean here. Exactly what do you do and what happens?

And – did you update the main, core Simple:Press plugin to the latest version first?

yes i did update the latest version of the main core SimplePress plugins. i have also updated the wordpress itself, but still the same notification, when i try to update i have got a message saying i should go to the main simplepress website.

After updating Simple Press core plugin did you perform the database update when visiting the ‘Forum’ admin section?

As Andy asked ‘Exactly what do you do and what happens?’ – What exactly is the process you are going through to update these plugins?

Also word for word, what does the message say regarding visiting the Simple Press website?

You should just be able to update them via the WP update page but would need more info on the steps you are taking and the results.

here the message i get from my dashboard, i have contacted my hosting company they check and did not find anything wrong, they said it is not their side.

thanks

Have you had any trouble updating anything else?

I think the first thing to try is disabling all plugins and trying again.. It’s possible something you have running is interfering with the upgrade.

Certainly being able to update the core plugin but not the SP plugins is rather word as they all go through an identical channel.

It is also somewhat odd that no status code was returned…

And in the event of that happening I don’t think disabling plugins is probably worthwhile although it never hurts to try it just in case.

This message lies in a core WordPress routine so I am going to have to do some research which might take a while. You can, of course always download the plugins manually and use ftp to get them onto your sever if the auto-update continues to fail.

thanks for your replies,

i am going to disable the plugins one by one until Andy makes some research

thanks for your help guys i really appreciate it

and also i have got another issue connecting simplepress with a membership plugins called profile builder,i have created a registration page on the dashboard but can’t see where to connect it to simplepress. i would like the registration link of simplepress to be the same as my registration page i have created so i have tried to copy and past the link but it doesn’t work.

thanks

Where are you copying and pasting the link to? Have you taken a look at Forum > Components > Login and Registration? If so, could you elaborate on the problem?

Also not entirely sure how you’re using Profile Builder there, we have seen the name before but never in regards to it being used as a membership plugin as such. The important thing is that whatever membership plugin you’re using, it must conform to the WP API.

Please make sure to take a look at How to Configure Simple Press With a Membership Plugin. We use WishList Member as an example, but as long as the membership plugin you choose behaves as WordPress expects / requires and doesn’t have it’s own pool of users separate from WordPress users then the principals are the same.

And,,. was this more like you were looking for?

hello,

i went to my component but could not change link the registration page of the forum to the registration page that i have created.

my main issue is actually to change the forum registration page because i dont like the one given by wordpress, this is why i used a membership plugins.

i still cannot update the plugins in the forum

thanks

In regards to the registration, did you take a look at the link Andy posted?

yes i read it and frankly it is a bit complicated for a non programmer like me. it  did not help me at all

It’s actually pretty straight forward and shouldn’t take long, but I can see how just looking at the links to functions can seem a bit confusing. I’ll outline the process step by step so it should be easier to follow.

First off you will need to create a Child Theme. We offer the frameworks free in the store so download the relevant one for the SP theme you’re using (i.e if you’re using Default theme, download the Default Child Framework).

Next you will want to copy the head template (spHead.php) from the parent theme’s ‘templates’ folder to your child themes ‘templates’ folder. Assuming your forum is the one on the website associated with your username then it looks like you’re using Default theme, so the path will be wp-content > sp-resources > forum-themes > default > templates > spHead.php.

Then you’re going to want to open your newly aquired child themes spHead.php template in an editor or the SP theme editor (WP Dashboard > Forum > Themes > Theme Editor) and locate the function ‘sp_RegisterButton‘ on line 94. As the Codex states it has a ‘link’ argument for adding your own URL, if you were to add it in the function would look something like:

sp_RegisterButton('tagClass=spButton spRight&link=http://www.yourlink.com', __sp('Register'), __sp('Register'));

So you can replace the entire function with that and change the URL to be whatever you need, and when you click the register button that’s where it will take you.

Hope that helps!

hello, 

after many attempts i have managed to install the forum, thanks god for that. it was fine until today for 2 reason:

1. i have installed profile builder plugins because i did not want people to go thru wordpress registration everything was fine i have connected both, the plugin and the forum but could not find anywhere to link the lost password with the forum .that makes difficult for people  to recover their password. is there a registration plugins that you could advise that connect well with simple press? what plugin most of your clients use to registrer new user?

2. the second problem that i have encountered is that everytime i open my wordpress dashboard to check the forum the first page i click on doesn’t go away even if i change topic. for example i open integration and then try to open user group, the integration page will be stuck there. nothing else will open i will be stuck with the integration page it doesn’t swift when i swift option.

kindly advise
