I have never used PageLines but did you try changing the integration options?

On the Forum administration page – Integration – Page and Permalink settings there are options to limit forum display to within WP loop and allowing multiple loading of forum content.
If not you might try changing each one individually and try then both turned on as well.

Yes, I have done exactly that. No combination of the three options helped this problem.

Well it was worth a try.
Depending on what the theme is doing and how it is doing it there is a probable work around for this in 5.1 which we plan to release next week. If I could I would offer you the code changes but they are a little complex and scattered.

Thanks, I’ll look for the new code next week.

Aiming for the 31st. There will be a new option on that integration panel and I suspect this will help.

Hi Grant ,

 we use Pagelines theme and works fine with SP, no problems at all, you may have to tweak the css a bit to integrate in your theme but if you not to fussed all good. Check it out

cheers

Thanks, Alex. Even after the update I’m still having the problem where the forum appears above all the other content. Did you have that problem at any point? Did you have to do anything special to your page named “Forum” in WordPress to make it appear correctly?

So is this after you have turned on the new display option for strict use of the WP API?

Yes. Enabling “Force the strict use of the WP API” removes the forum from the page altogether.

Looking at the page source reveals that Simple:Press is displaying before the

tag. That’s unexpected.

so that would lead me to believe some other plugin (or theme is doing odd things)…  setting the use full api option ensures that we return our content for the wp the_content filter instead of outputting directly for improvement gains… so if its coming out in the head tag, then something else must be invoking the_content (and outputting) too early…

so on forum – integration – page and permalink, what other options do you now have set in the integration option section?  I would try making sure that display in the loop is set… 

On the page “Filter WP list pages” and “Load Javascript in footer” are chosen.

I’ll enable “Limit forum display to with WP loop.” Is there a way to to get clues as to what might be interfering? Disabling plugins to see if any of them are causing this problem is just a huge hassle, as you tend to lose settings.

lets try the option first.

but why would plugins lose settings on disable??  poor design?  they should come right back if you reactivate… but I digress…

we can probably give you some other debug code if needed to track down where its coming from…

Like I said, I already tried the “Limit forum display to with WP loop.” It does not work now, it did not work before. With that option enabled, there is no forum at all on the page, not even in the header.

Debug code would be great.

sorry, I dont see where you said you tried the option AFTER enabling the wp api option…  out of curiosity, what do you have the bypass head option set to?

so go back to the wp api option only…  edit file sp-forum-framework.php… find function sp_render_forum()…

at the top, after the global statement, lets add this:

bshow(10);

the load up a page…  that should do a debug backtrace and show you how you got there…  now if this is appearing in the head tags, you may only see it when you view the page source…
