Hi,
I've had a [prohibitive] problem with my simple:press forum recently. I'm hoping someone will be able to help me figure out what's up.
The problem is that the forum seems to exist fine in the back end, but is not displayed in the from end — it doesn't show up on the assigned page, and no links to posts work. The admin panel has been set to use page id 112, but when I go to page 112, no forum. This happened a little while ago so I'm kind of fuzzy on the details. I think it just seemed to 'happen' — soon after I commented out the add_action('after_plugin_row', 'sf_check_plugin_version' ); line of sf-admin-header to get my plugins page to load at a decent speed — but not, if I remember correctly, right after that. I'm having a vague memory that I tried to edit my options after upgrading to the new back end (don't remember which version this was, sorry … ) and had to save a Forum Administrator Name. I would save it and have no value appear in the form, and I think that change of options was when the forum stopped appearing on its page, but I am not 100% sure. I cannot access posts from their links — http://acsa.coop.arts.ubc.ca/?page_id=112/general-discussion/artswork-poll-question-what-was-your-dream-job-when-you-were-6-and-what-is-it-now/page-1
Here's a link to the theoretical home of my forum: http://acsa.coop.arts.ubc.ca/?page_id=112 (set as permalink / id, slug set to forum which is correct for the page)
Any help is much appreciated. I'm sorry if I haven't given sufficient info — if you need more details I'll do my best to provide them.

The easy answer, of course, is to say that if it worked and then stopped working then it has to be something you've done to the configuration and environment. And in truth this does sound like the probable cause. That information may, of course, prove vital.
If the 'page slug' and 'page id' are correct and the permalink is correct (toolbox tab) then let's start with have you introduced any new plugins and have you changed your theme at all?

I don't think that I've changed either my plugins or themes. I had to disable register plus when I upgraded to wp2.6.1, but that was after this problem started. I also added Reveal IDs, but that was after the poblem started as well. I definitely have not changed anything in my theme. I also tried disabling all of my plugins except spf and still no luck. The forum doesn't output any code whatsoever to the page.
I've taken screenshots of my Admin screen, if that's likely to be at all helpful. As I said, the display name doesn't persist when I save and I have to re-enter it every I change options on the admin screen.

I realise that you are telling me you have not changed the theme but I think we have to start with basics here. In the forum online help is a section on 'Installation Troubleshooting' and a topic of 'Nothing Displays'. This discusses the wp_head() function. Can you double check that this is there in your theme and not missing for any reason?

That was it! Sorry that I didn't think to look in the online help section of the plugin, that would have made a lot of sense.
I think I must have removed wp_head for security reasons (we had some problems so I tried to tighten up), forgetting / not knowing that it was required for SPF. However, that was a couple versions of wordpress ago. So wp_head is back now. Thanks a lot! Again, sorry for wasting your time with something silly.

Glad we found it. wp_head() is important to plugins. Any plugin that needs to load a stylesheet or a javascript file SHOULD do it va wp_head().

nor is wp_head() itself a security risk…
