hi. i have a web site and i work with wordpress. I have had a wordpress forum plugin called WP-FORUM for ages now, but suddenly one day from any computer, mine or from other places, when we access the forum page we can see the forum, however when we post a new thread or reply to a post and press 'post' we get to no where, and see nothing, just plane page. Meaning, I can't or no one can post anything. I have no clue why this is happening. What should i do?
hoping for a reply!
Thanks,
Vivee

I'm confused are you having a problem with the form, or are you having a problem with posting new pages/posts?

It sounds like you have a plugin that is causing problems, try deactivating your plugins one by one and see if you can make a post after deactivating each one.

Also if you have not upgraded to 2.9.1 (latest version of WP) then I recommend doing that also.

If none of that works, download a fresh copy of wordpress from there site and upload all the files again.

I tried deactivating every single plugin but it still won't work. Also, I did upgrade my WP to 2.9.1 already, hence i have it.
And, Yes, i downloaded a fresh copy of wordpress...now what should i do with it? Where should i upload it...? and how will i make sure all my current files will be just like now?

You should never modify the core files for wordpress so as long as you have followed that rule then you should be fine to simply use any ftp client to connect to your server and upload the new files and over write the old ones.

The file wp-config.php is the only core file of any importance and the default download from wordpress.org does not contain that file but just in case you should backup that file.
