Hi ,

 

For my new blog I installed simple press forum

I have  simple machines running and working on my server .But I would like to change it to simple press ,because  the WP integration ,SEO etc..

 

Have quite a few problems   Cry

 like :

 

forum + sidebar only displays in Firefox properly .Not I.E.

– cannot upload images and avatars

-can log into forum from I.E. but can not log in from Firefox .

-the admin functions move topics,pin topics   etc  do not display, when I try to edit post .

I cannot move or delete any posts  or make them sticky etc.

 

These are just the ones I noticed so far .

 

Like I said. I would like to completey change to simple press , but I don't know how to work out these bugs.

I think they are theme related

 

my blog template schemermag

http://wpthemedesigner.com/demo/

 

I would need an idea of the cost and if in  Canada/Ontario/London  area ,

I would love to meet and learn this first hand .  

 

Thanks

I doubt these are bugs of course. They are likely to be conflicts with either your theme or a plugin (or maybe plugins). Easy to find out.
use Firefox, open the error console and clear it. Try some of the things in the firum that do not work and then look in the console. Errors tab ONLY. Ignore warnings.
What does it say?

Hi,

 yeah, bugs I meant my theme etc. I kind ofg assumed (as non computer techie) that it was theme related ‘but I really want to keep my theme though.

 

I did the firefox error and the main one came up as :

 

Error: The stylesheet /wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/css/jd.gallery.css.php was not loaded because its MIME type, “text/problem-with-post-edit-buttontml”, is not “text/css”.

Source File: .ca/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/css/jd.gallery.css

Line: 100

 

error details   : filter:alpha(opacity=20);
 
 
 
There are a about 5 more messages like these above.  I only copied the first  3
Is it possible that featured gallery plug in could all of these problem ?
 
By the way , the featured gallery displays on I.E., but not on Firefox .
 
Meanwhile I will deactivate it and also remove it temporarily from my theme style .
However, I have also 2 pages of error messages  like these :
 
Warning: Error in parsing value for 'display'.  Declaration dropped.

I am completely clueless about the meaning of any of these

first, featured content gallery is known to conflict with WordPress since it uses mootools and WP uses jquery… since those two js libraries share namespace, many conflicts are known to occur… sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt…

search our forum for many workarounds for fcg and many other plugins that users have used instead… easy way is to tell fcg not to load on forum page since its not needed (it should only load on needed pages anyways!)

The featured gallery was only on main page .not post pages, pages or forum.

 

I did deactivate it and removed the its code  from main template

 

<!– begin featured content –>

 <div class=”box”><div class=”buffer”>

 <h2>Featured Content</problem-with-post-edit-button2>

 <div class=”featured”><?php include (ABSPATH . ‘/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php’); ?></div>

 </div></div>

 <!– end featured content –>

 

from my template , but still the errors are all the same .

i still cannot load any images or log in from firefox.

 

 

Please see my messages above I copied some of the curent error messages, that is forum and after the featured gallery was remove,.

There are 2 pages of errors and like I said I have no idea what they mean or how to fix this .

 

Thanks.

most of those are not errors, but warnings and not really that important – ie the property and css warnings… but the first one about the mime type is of concern…

can you make a quick edit to simple-forum/library/sf-ahah-handler.php?  near the top, you will find

header(“Content-Type: text/problem-with-post-edit-buttontml; charset=”.get_option(‘blog_charset’));

could you try moving that line to after these lines

if (array_key_exists(‘sf_ahah’, $wp->query_vars))

{

as to logging in, are you sure you are allowing cookies in FF?  and still would like a link to your site…

1. This error message is gone, after i deleted th featured content gallery .

 

Error: The stylesheet /wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/css/jd.gallery.css.php was not loaded because its MIME type, “text/problem-with-post-edit-buttontml”, is not “text/css”.

I am in Cpanel , I don’t know where to look for

 simple-forum/library/sf-ahah-handler.php?

O.K. there are still these issues :

 

– can not load avatars and images . the loading symbol keeps going, and going but no pictures load.

– html same thing .I click on html editor, no code will appear

– the editor tools do not show up .I cannot move,delete or make topics sticky

 

Another curious thing .Guest can view the forum when coming

blog>forum>post>  they can read posts

 

However when referred by search engine, some times they  get the page saying

:you cannot post without being logged in or similar  ?

 

Sorry, such a long list .

 

I will give you the link ,  ********

May I ask, that you remove it from public view  please , after finding my site .

Giving my ignorance,all I need is me inviting any hackers .

Thank youvery much for your help  ,Sir ,

I will pack it in for today .

MP Mr Papa

well, I viewed many pages in your site and had no errors… of course, most of the issues you report, I cannot check out because I dont have those kind of permissions as guest…

do you have a url example of the search engine pages that are a problem?

when you say the editor tools dont show up, have you actually enabled them??

AN angie

Hello,

 

I believe I have enabled them .

I went to  Forum>Admins>Global Admin option>display admin tool icons          also

ticked > display admin bar in  >your admin options .

 

This correct  ?

 

I forgot to mention again.The forum is still only displaying on part of the page . (middle)

I would like it to fill the right side as well.

 

As for the url .

F.e. when I use statounter it will give me the links via visitors (guest) come to my page .When I tested them as a guest

(without logging myself in)  I cannot read the post ( I have guest can view Forum enabled)

 

Here is a link

**************

It gets an access denied message  .Visitors are unable to read posts

 

However ,when guest go . > Forum>Coupons>post   they willl be able to read this post as a guest .

 

Would you kindly deleted this link again ,please .

Thank you.

first, that link wont work because its supposedly in a forum called 'grocery coupons' which you dont have…  the location you say does work is for a forum called 'coupons'… thats not the same forum… so guessing at some point you did have a 'grocery coupons' forum and you changed the name but not before your site was indexed by search engines…

yes, just enabling the option in the global admin is enough.  on forum view or topic view, you should now have a computer looking icon that you can click on in the post icon row to pull up the admin tools…

I can see an icon called tool   on my  post page . (to the left of online,edit,report, )

 

But when I click on this it is like I said, the admin tools do not display .

I have tried this for days and just now again  to double check .

The icon keeps loading and loading,but will not display the tools  and at the bottom of my screen left side it says :””error””

 

This tool and the image and avatar upload and the html problems seem to be related ?

yes almost certainly they are related and it comes back to the very beginning of this thread.

You must have script problems. At the end of the day you need to deactivate plugins until things start working. if that doesn't fix it try using the Wp default theme – if it works then then you know the probem lies with the theme.

I think I might know  what has happened .

I just did a test install of my theme  plus simple press forum on a “”blank”” wp test blog.Zero plug ins .

 

It does work . (image,avatars uploads ,sticky )

 

So my theme is not to blame .

 

I also tried deactivating all plug ins, but problems were still there .

 

 

Now thinking back , I think I messed up the forum .

In the beginning when I  could not work out the side bar display issues ,

 I uninstalled the forum using

wp dashboard > deactive plugin simple press .> uninstall forum .

 

When I reinstalled the forum again to make it work , I was surprised the forum categories and tags were all still there .

 

Maybe I uninstalled it incorrectly and some of the files are corrupted .

 

 

Do I start all over again  with complete removal ?
