    We recently updated Simplepress from 5.7.5.3 to 6.10.8. I am no longer seeing any features in the admin. I ran the database update and it functions on the front-end but no where to access the settings in the back end. Please advise!

    Hi Fooey!

    Great to hear that you have made the update. Have you updated anything else? What versions of PHP are you running?

    When you say that you are no longer seeing any features, what you do you mean? Are there no links under “Forum” in WP Admin?

    Unfortunately, this is an older site we have adopted and it is running php 7.4. When we try to update it breaks likely due to the theme no longer in development (Canvas). We are slowly going through and running updates and swapping out old abandoned plugins to give it some life again : ) We do have the latest version of wordpress core.

    The only thing under Forum in the admin is “WP Admin Notice” see screenshot.

    Also I noticed in the updates section there is an option to update SP Themes but it just goes to a white screen when I hit update and nothing happens. [License free update available] You have version 1.2.22 installed. Update to 2.0.1. Requires SP Version 6.1.0.

    Hi!

    Thanks for sharing. Do you get any error messages when clicking the “WP Admin Notice”?

    The updates should work, but we can send you a zip containing the theme you are using to see if that solves your issue. What Simple:Press theme are you using?

    No there are no error messages, it goes to a screen that says

    Upgrade Simple:Press From Version 6.10.8 to 6.10.8 (Build 15898 to Build 15898)

    When I click on perform upgrade, it says I am not allowed to access that page. Although right after I ran the plugin update, I did run this upgrade and it ran fine. Which I am assuming is why it says From Version 6.10.8 to 6.10.8 which is the same thing.

    It is just the default theme.

    Hi again!

    I believe that this is some kind of permission issue. If possible, please check your database and have a look in the table wp_sfmembers and look for the user you are logged in as. In that table there is a column called admin does your user have a 1 in that column? If not, add it and see if the issue persists.

    Thanks for hanging in there!

    That did it! Was set to 0.

    Can you send the zip of the newest default theme? It is still going to a blank screen when I try to update it. Here is the notice:

    Default[License free update available] You have version 1.2.22 installed. Update to 2.0.1. Requires SP Version 6.1.0.
