Hi,
I installed the program and the page its suppose to be on I'm getting a 404 page error. I went through the troubleshooting for the page in the download. It didn't help. THe pages don't show up just the template. In the page part of my admin panel it doesn't show the page coming up. I've never been able to see the forum at all. I do have the plugin activated and it shows in my blue panel and i've clicked on it in admin and still see the error. I'm at a loss what to do?

make sure the page-id is correct in the options page… update your WP permalinks and then the simple:press forum permalink…
if that doesnt work, a url might help…

When you select Manage Simple Forum from the WP admin… at the top is a row of buttons…
Manage Forums, Manage Options and Update Forum Permalink… its right there..
Since the link to your simple:press forum is now “forum”, you had to have changed the page slug from the default install value… make sure it shows in properly in Manage Options - Admin tab… then hit that Update Forum Permalink button… this assume you already updated your WP permalinks… if not, do that first…

Hi,
When I go to my admin page under manage is the simple forum button. WHen I click on it it takes me
to the page where it should be and there is nothing but a 404 error. I dont have a update forum
button on my admin panel anyway. I updated permalinks under the options button. But there is nothing
about updating simple forum.
The only changes I made were the ones you suggested in the email. I was not able to make the echo to 1
as you had suggested.
when I did that it took away my other static pages other then the home page. I put the echo back to 0
because of this.
I don't have an area for updating the forum permalink.

in the forum options… there is a button labled “Update Permalinks” (v2.1)
Under Manage Forum (first tab) make sure that the page ID and the page slug match the page ID and Slug of whatever Wordpress Page you want the forum to appear in (the forum will not appear in a WP Post, only in a Page)…
If these options all match, when you navigate to the WP page that you selected for the forum, the plugin will generate the forum and associated data.

from here it sounds like you have NOT installed SimpleForums in your plugins directory properly…
all of the plugin's files should be in /wp-content/plugins/simple-forum/
the only exception to this should be the forum-avitars directory which should be in /wp-content/forum-avitars/
a first install will make this change upon being activated.

When I uploaded the folders should they have gone in individual folder for each category?
I did put the main one as the forum and then when I uploaded them I uploaded each one creating a folder under
the simple folder.
THe ones in the bold print are made into there own folder under the simple forum folder ie simpleforum/admin. Obviously they have other files in each one.
admin 755
ahah 755
avatars 755
icons 755
jscript 755
languages 755
skins 755
These ones are just in the simple forum folder by its self.

looks good so far…
now you need to activate the plugin in the plugins page of your WP admin…
if it is already activated, deactivate and re-activate the plugin again…
|

I did that and still does no good still the 404 error….
Everything is the same as it was.

Not so sure Radio - he said he called the folder 'simpleforum' and it should be 'simple-forum'.
There is no need to create a folder at all if you just unzip the package and copy the 'simple-fourm' folder in to the plugins folder…
