Hi Sakin.

I’ve been working through a few problems as of late. My main issue is that Simple:Press forums isn’t working when paired with your theme. (Forums load, cannot add new topics or replies, most posting functionality broken)

The developers of simple-press have said this:

“its likely because your site is improperly loading an offsite jquery and jquery ui instead of using the versions that come with WP… of course, the WP devs greatly frown on that…”
<script type='text/javascript' src='//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js'></script>

<script type='text/javascript' src='//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.min.js?ver=4421ed263f8be45805ce599d70feb76a'></script>

its likely your wp theme (quick test would be to switch to default wp them)… but you will need to sort that non standard loading of jquery and jquery ui…”

They included some documentation explaining about jQuery etc and apparently, wordpress has it’s own copy installed locally on my web server as part of wordpress.
I Have tried changing theme’s but this did not resolve the problem.

It’s looking unlikely that this jQuery issue is going to be the fix – but I’d like to try it anyway 🙂

Hi @beatmaniaNZ,

This is not the theme issue, we always use the core jQuery library provided by WordPress in all our themes. And we haven’t used jQuery UI in our themes. You may check it by switching to core themes. If the problem persists, it is due to some plugins that you’re using. Try deactivating the plugins one by one and check the site again.

Regards,
Mahesh

Hiya -= Yeah, I actually solved my own problem after posting this but couldn’t figure out how to remove the first post 😛

I did the “Plug-in Walk” test (Enabling plugin’s one at a time until symptoms discovered). It was a plugin for BBpress that was causing ALL of the issues.
