Yes, and it didn’t show up even after. However, for some reason when I reinstalled with the 1.6.5 just up, it worked like a charm, so I’m happy with that. ??

By the way, nice work on this plugin. I was about to write my own (although I could barely justify spending the time on another project!), before I noticed this on existed.

Thanks and Cheers!

Installed the plugin in 2.9.1, added the basic short code to a page…. nothing showed up. Completely blank page.

So, I put the PHP code to call the plugin into a page template… still nothing shows up. plugin was installed and activated through dashboard. I recently have had other problems getting plugins that use shortcode to work, so there may be other problems.

other plugins include clean-contact and TinyMCE…. Is there a chance that there is some conflict among plugins?

I was able to accomplish this by simply setting up a page template to display for the forum using iframe.

I edited my page.php file, removing all of the code that calls and displays page content, and replacing it with the iframe statement. I left the div I used to enclose the text content in place, but changed the it’s id to “forum,” then added the id to my style.css file, with width=100% specified. I then removed the calls for sidebars, so the forum would span the entire content area of the page.

I also changed the width in the iframe style to 100%, so the iframe would span the whole text area as well.

It worked perfectly.

I wanted to keep the user registration separate, because the “blog” portion of the site is used managed as website, and doesn’t allow comments and user registration, anyway.

So, with my setup, a page template that displays the forum using the iframe tag and a small addition to my style.css file were all that was needed. No plugin’s of any kind required.

Instead of having wp-page-menu include a home link on the menu list, I added a page in the admin control panel called Home, and set my posts to display on that page. Then, added my span and /span tags to the wp_page_menu to appear before and after each menu item link.

Problem was that when you use wp_page_menu, and you do not have a page called home – so your home is essentially just your posts page, and you ask wp_page_menu to include a link to that home page, it does not add any of the before and after text you specify in the wp_page_menu function call.

Still think this should either be fixed in the wp_page_menu function – or an actual home page for posts should be generated by dafault on install. It is rather inelegant, as it is, to have to add the page and assign posts to it in order to get the specified before and after link text/tags to appear on the home link, so you don’t have to make a special button for it when you’re trying to make two-piece expanding tabs or menu buttons.
