Its not a plugin for WordPress… its is a plugin for Simple Press so you have to put in the Simple Press plugins folder… Please see:

and come on back if you still have issues…

Hi, back again, I can’t install the simple press plugin .
Starting to upload it and in some time receive this: No se ha podido descomprimir el paquete. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature
i am having it in Spanish, but i think you can still understand the meaning.

Andres, are you talking about the simple press plugin or the blog linking plugin for sp – which is what the topic title is about???

You will have issues trying to upload the simple press plugin via the wp plugin installer – it just doesnt like plugins that go multi folders deep… you will need to ftp the software to your server or use your server control panel…

if you are trying to upload the blog linking plugin for sp, you cannot use the wp plugin installer… you need to follow the steps listed in the link I gave you… or if you have 5.1.1 you can use the plugin uploader on forum – plugins – plugin uploader… but wp will not understand sp plugins…

so pleas explain further what you are doing if I have missed the possible meanings of your last post…

Thank you, the plugin was installed in a right way . My problem was that i tried to install it through the menu plugins, while i had to do it through menu forums –> plugins.
Thank you

Hi again, the plugin i am having already. But when i enter the plugin options and setting green to “Use linking on post type: post” then press update – no results. The update button doesn’t work. I can’t change the options.
Could you help me?

So any js errors when you click on the button? do all the other admin panels work just fine? only blog linking?

to check for errors/status, use firefox with firebug or the browser or your choice with dev tool of choice (ff and fb is best)… with console open, click on the update button and see what the ajax response is in the console…

Actually, all the buttons in every option menu are not working. I can’t for example update the display option or any other setting. No error comes out – i press the update button and nothing happens.
I installed the firebug and opened the console section All. Its said: Post http://adress 403 Forbidden 303ms

Or am i looking in the wrong place of the firebug?

no, thats right…  so your server is rejecting the ajax requests – the 403 forbidden…

is your server by chance running mod_security?

Thank you, we fixed everything, the problem was in mod_security :)
May be you could answer a question about this plugin – blog linking. The posts were all transmitted to the forum – that’s good, but the comment – not. Which option should i choose the comments would be transferred together with the posts?

Ah good old mod_security – the bane of a web developers life!

The ‘comment’ options are all in the bottom of the blog linking admin panel. To be honest the pop help in there says about the same that I would say here so I would suggest taking a look at that for explanations of the options…

Otherwise can you be more specific?
