FAQ

Ik heb de plugin geïnstalleerd – wat nu?

Now that you have installed your forums read our getting started pages.

Ik ontvang geen e-mailmeldingen

Er zijn verschillende factoren die de bezorging van e-mailmeldingen kunnen beïnvloeden. Het beste wat je kunt doen om e-mailbezorgingsproblemen te diagnosticeren, is door een plug-in te installeren die je een e-maillogboek laat zien. We raden MAILGUN of SMTP POST aan. De logboeken laten je weten of e-mails worden gegenereerd en niet bezorgd of helemaal niet worden gegenereerd.

Kan geen nieuw forum maken. Als ik een FORUM GROEP selecteer om het forum te maken, gebeurt er niets.

Gebruik CTRL-F5 om je browsercache voor die pagina te vernieuwen. Soms moeten oude CSS- en JS-scripts gewoon worden gewist en CTRL-F5 doet dat.

Kan ik gegevens van mijn oude forum importeren?

Ja! Je kunt gegevens in ons forum importeren vanuit andere forums, waaronder bbPress, Asgaros en anderen. Download de import plugin hier;

With a bit of development skill you can even build your own importer for something we don’t already have!

Or contact us to build one for you or to use our flat-fee import data service.

Ik ben een WordPress beheerder, maar ik kan geen forum menu-items zien

Wanneer een nieuwe WordPress beheerder wordt aangemaakt door een andere WordPress beheerder, krijgt de nieuwe WP beheerder NIET automatisch rechten op het forum. In plaats daarvan moet een bestaande forumbeheerder de nieuwe WP BEHEERDER expliciet forumrechten toekennen in het menu FORUM->BEHEERDERS.

Een van de mooie gevolgen van deze beveiligingsdeling is dat je een gebruiker een forum beheer kunt maken zonder hem een WordPress beheerder te maken.

Na installatie worden bestaande WP beheerders forum beheerders gemaakt; dus dit probleem zal zich alleen voordoen wanneer er een nieuwe WP beheerder wordt aangemaakt nadat het forum is geïnstalleerd.

Welke shortcodes zijn beschikbaar?

Simple:Press gebruikt geen shortcodes. In plaats daarvan wordt het hele forum rechtstreeks uitgevoerd naar het inhoudsgebied van de WordPress pagina die je opgeeft. Standaard wordt die pagina FORUM genoemd, maar je kunt deze eenvoudig naar een andere pagina schakelen in FORUM->INTEGRATIE-gt;PAGINA EN PERMALINKS.

Why is the forum so narrow?

Veel thema’s gebruiken een zijbalk op hun standaard WordPress-pagina’s. Dit verkleint het inhoudsgebied dat het forum mag gebruiken.

Bovendien kunnen thema’s een inhoud aanduiden die slechts x% van de breedte van het scherm is.

Deze twee praktijken zijn de belangrijkste redenen waarom het forum er niet zo uitziet als het zou moeten.

Het goede nieuws is echter dat veel van de thema’s van hogere kwaliteit een pagina template met “volledige breedte” bieden of je in staat stellen de standaardbreedte van pagina’s in het inhoudsgebied te wijzigen. Neem contact op met je thema ontwikkelaar om te zien of ze een van deze twee opties hebben.

Kan ik kosten in rekening brengen voor toegang tot het forum?

All the other reputable membership plugins use WordPress ROLES to control their membership. Simple:Press forums does too. So you can use ROLES to integrate with most other membership plugins if you like. Just contact us if you need more help understanding what this means.

Kan ik bestanden uploaden naar berichten?

The free version of the plugin does not allow file uploads. But the premium version does. The premium version also allow users to list, view and delete their prior file uploads.

The free version of the plugin can still display images that are stored elsewhere – just paste the link to the image into the post editor.

De editor ziet er eenvoudig uit – is er een betere?

De editor in de gratis versie is een pure teksteditor. Echter, Simple:Press Pro komt met een volledige wysiwyg editor – dezelfde die WordPress gebruikt – TinyMCE.

My initial review is below the dashed line. Thank you for the follow up Joakim. Given what the WP world has gone through during the past 36 or so hours, I understand what happened. This morning I made sure my sites were fully updated to WP 6.4.1. I downloaded the newest version of Simple: Press Forum. Installation was smooth, not even the slightest of hiccups. I am changing my rating from 1 star to 5 star based on your excellent customer service. Now I can start exploring Simple: Press Forum. --------------------------------------------- I can't remember the last time I gave a plugin only 1 star. I read reviews and looked carefully at their website. Despite the high price and some negative reviews, I thought I would give it a try. Downloaded and installed it. As soon as I pressed Activate it crashed my site. Thank goodness for WP Recovery Mode. I was able to quickly get back into the site and copy the error code and information which I then submitted to their support. This morning I received what basically amounted to a "solve it yourself" response. They suggested I buy the pro version and then they would help me. I've done that with other plugins but this one failed instantly. Why would I risk my time and money buying the pro version? Interestingly, some of the poor reviews I initially disregarded described a very similar problem. Guess I should have paid attention to them. My advice, stay away from this plugin. Here is the error which crashed my site. This plugin failed to load properly and is paused during recovery mode.An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 90 of the file /home1/qykowkmy/public_html/myskylinecondo/wp-content/plugins/simplepress/sp-api/sp-api-class-spcfilters.php. Error message: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_real_escape_string() in /home1/qykowkmy/public_html/myskylinecondo/wp-content/plugins/simplepress/sp-api/sp-api-class-spcfilters.php:90 Stack trace: #0 /home1/qykowkmy/public_html/myskylinecondo/wp-content/plugins/simplepress/sp-api/sp-api-class-spcfilters.php(78): spcFilters->do_esc_sql(false) #1 /home1/qykowkmy/public_html/myskylinecondo/wp-content/plugins/simplepress/sp-api/sp-api-class-spcoptions.php(150): spcFilters->esc_sql(false) #2 /home1/qykowkmy/public_html/myskylinecondo/wp-content/plugins/simplepress/sp-api/sp-api-class-spcrewrites.php(239): spcOptions->update('sfflushrules', false) #3 /home1/qykowkmy/public_html/myskylinecondo/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(324): spcRewrites->check_flush('') #4 /home1/qykowkmy/public_html/myskylinecondo/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(348): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) #5 /home1/qykowkmy/public_html/myskylinecondo/wp-includes/plugin.php(517): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #6 /home1/qykowkmy/public_html/myskylinecon

I am new to WordPress and was looking for something that I could manage with my limited knowledge, SimplePress does that. I created a site in my spare time in a few short weeks. Buying the product really makes it worth your while and investment. The library of plugins for this app is extensive and easy to manage. Support has been very responsive as well. Keep up the good work!

I have been using Simple Press for years and am gratefull they continued this plugin. Easy to use and given you have to pay for the extra's. But in my opinion it is worth the investment.

I've used Simple:Press to manage a forum that's very important to my business for years. The mix of built-in features and plugins does everything we need a forum to do. The free version works fine. I suggest one of the paid levels so you have access to more support. The basic product is very simple to install and use, but there are a lot of plugins and nice options. You'll find the best of those faster with the help of the community.
