This sounds like what Ben was dealing with on Nov. 15 but I can’t figure it out. The strip that shows the login, register, add new topic, etc… is not showing up in the forum. Any thoughts and help you could provide would be great…I can’t wait to get this up and running, it looks great. Thanks.

I am a little confused by this as the ‘login/registration’ icons are NOT on the same strip as the ‘Add New Topic’.
There are two reasons why login and register will not be displayed. (1) Your WP site is not set up to allow registrations (see Options > General in your admin) - or (2) Your ‘Users and Registrations’ are not set correctly in the ‘Forum > Options - Users tab’.
As to ‘Add New Topic’ perhaps fix up the first issue and then we can come back to this.

Sorry for the confusion about the icons NOT being on the same strip…you’re right they aren’t, but the ‘login/registration’ and ‘Add new topic’ icons are still missing for whatever reason.
I’ve got my WP site set to ‘Membership: Anyone can register’. I don’t have the ‘Users must be registered and logged in to comment’ box checked. The New User Default Role is set to ’subscriber’…so I think that’s set up correctly.
My ‘Users and Registrations’ are set like this:
Checked: Allow guests to post in public forums, Show login/logout/register is allowed, moderate non-registered users posts, and collect and display extended profile.
Unchecked: Moderate registered members posts, and moderate first post only. Thoughts?

Any chance of a link to your forum page? Might be the easiest way to resolve this..

OK… Just took a peek…
Good News/Bad News (not that bad really)
First, the good news…
All of your settings are correct in order to do what you are asking about.
Bad News, you have three different problems that are masking each other.
Bad News #1 - Your Permalinks need updateing in Simple Forums Plugin Management. (This is what is hiding the Add New Topic link, You never actually get to a forum page where it can be shown. Updating the permalink in SFP Management should fix this.)
Bad News #2 - Your Theme’s CSS is messing with the placement of Images in your Pages. (Common Problem, Check your CSS for img related tags, comment out the tag that is upsetting images in the body of your post. If you need help, ask.)
Bad News #3 - You have some of the link text turned off in SFP Options Management. (if you were using Text Buttons instead of the graphic only buttons, which are being displayed, you could turn off the text portions of those links, as it is now the buttons are showing, but don’t have any identifying text.)

Wow…ok.
First - I updated the permalink in SFP Management.
Second - I need help…not sure what you’re talking about.
Third - Under the ‘Link Display Text’ the ‘Display Link Above Post Content’ was not checked…it is now checked. Was that what you were telling me to do?
Again, thanks for the help. Let me know about #2 and if I did #3 correctly. Thanks.

#3 that Radio talked about are the icon text settings in the ’style’ tab so yes - that was wrong!
I’ll take a look at your site see if i can find the errant CSS…

Ok - I see you’ve solved the icon text. As to positioning, in your theme ’style.css’ file you will find these two directive blocks:
#content .post .storycontent p {
float: left;
border: none;
padding: 0px 50px 0px 0px;
}
#content .storycontent img {
float: left;
border: none;
padding: 1em;
}
each has a ‘float: left;’ entry. You need to remove them both. Now this might just have other unexpected results so check the rest of your site for knock-on effects. If there is anything terrible we can think of ways to resolve the conflict

Ok…I’ve deleted the ‘float: left’ entries. But…I don’t see any effect. Still not showing login/registration, add new topic… Any other thoughts? In regard to Radio’s suggestion about the icon settings…in the style tab (login, register, logout, etc…) are all checked.

Well - I am seeing both the login and register text and icons so it’s probably that you need to clear your browser cache.
But, when clicking on the only forum you have defined, the page is not going to the forum (where you would add a new topic) so I suspect that you are running a plugin there that is interfering with the page loads. Are you running the ‘permalink redirect’ plugin for example? Look in the user and troubleshooting guide as there are one or two that have a conflict.

Ahh!!! You’re a genius. It works. Thanks for the patience and help. I deactivated the permalink redirect and emptied my browser cache…and it began working. It looks great. Have a great New Years!

And to you indeed. Good to hear it’s working. One day I must sit down and take the permalink redirect plugin apart and work out what we need to do to work around the problem.

sorry, but what issue are you having?
If you are referring to the login form not showing, its because you have NOT done the above steps… WP registrations are not allowed (logout and visit http://transitionbristol.org/wp-register.php)… hence, you cannot have forum registrations since they use the same user base…
for that form to appear, you must allow users to register in your WP admin Options - General
oh, and out of curiousity, why are displaying the forum in a div that is limited to 380px?? thats why the scrollbars are showing up… Its gonna make things pretty unwieldly when you start getting posts…

Yep, sorry. Thought I had checked it all through before posting; getting too tired!
The forum was added today. The previous forum appeared in a new un-dived page. The result at present matches the requirements but I agree that it is likely I will be pulling it from the div asap.
