I am guest and you are admin… and other plugins running on site that might be admin specific?
can you log out and try as guest?
Well, OK, as a guest it seems to work.
So the question is, why with a call to jQuery outside of the local version, and an older one at that, does it work 90%, but with a call to the local version does it not work at all when logged in as the ‘Admin’?
you did not answer the previous question… any other wp plugins that affect admins only? ie give you more things you can do… or your wp theme for that matter…
would be worth trying the same test as a regular user too…
Ahh, sorry.
Nothing that stands out. Gravity Forms *might* have been it but with it deactivated, still nothing.
I have turned off all the plugins and cleared the cache totally to check but it seems like that has had no effect.
I guess next step would be for you to set up a temp wp admin account for us and pm the details… so we can see the actual generated error… if that works for you, pm the detail and a link to this topic to yellow swordfish and myself…
are you only allowing admins to upload attachments? appears so, because you have many errors with the uploader which only gets loaded (or attempted) for admins:
“NetworkError: 404 Not Found – http://www.machine.lab-gear.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins/plupload/resources/css/plupload.css”
“NetworkError: 404 Not Found – http://www.machine.lab-gear.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins/plupload/resources/jscript/plupload.full.js?ver=3.3.1”
you need to make sure those file exist…
what do you see if you go to forum – themes – theme list or forum – plugins – plugin list in the admin?
Hmmmm, no. In permissions I’ve allowed Standard, Full and Moderator to upload files and images.
In the admin, if I go: forum > themes, I see: Current Theme > Default 1.0.14 by Andy Staines & Steve Klasen
In the admin, if I go: forum > plugins, I see the list of all loaded plugins, 5 of which are activated, including ‘File Uploader (using Plupload)’
there is no plupload (file uploader) stuff for guests… well, make sense since that is not possible…
so did you check to see if those files actually exist? you might have had an issue when ftp’ing them to the server…
I did ponder that earlier today so unzipped and reinstalled. The files that loaded are as per attached:
there is a whole sub directory missing under plupload/resources/jscript… should be also a jquery.ui.plupload directory which contains more directories and files… they are missing in your image…
That’s what came out of the download I hate to say…. I uploaded the unzipped folder complete as it came of the SP server.
On that, I also downloaded some of the theme packages and found they were missing files too.
I dont think so… I just downloaded from the site and they are there…
I would check your zip extractor and make sure it isnt set to a max depth of extraction… winzip for example can do that…
3 different extractors all delivered the same thing.
I have NEVER had an issue unzipping files much larger, or deeper, than this before. Maybe I’ve pulled down the wrong one? “sp-plugin-plupload-1.0.8.zip”
On the themes, I get and error telling me the file is missing: /wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/stacked/styles/stacked.php
It happened for each of the different additional themes.
and notice that each one is the same level deep as the problem for you… what kind of machine are you on? windows? just use the built in extractor if you dont have winzip… if mac, will need to andy to discuss with you…
you are extracting on your local machine and then uploading via ftp, right? and you looked on your local machine vice the server?
but they are there in the zip archive… if not, trust me 
we would have more people having the same issue…
