It turns out that the problem was caused by removing the “pick a section” bit of the post-form.php file. Thanks for the help guys.
I cut out a lot of code from the original template to get things looking the way I wanted. Any ideas as to what I removed that is causing this, or at least which file I should restore?
I checked my database and topic_open is open.
I was able to successfully able to add a new topic with the default theme. I do have access to the database, though I’m not sure what to look for or where to begin.
Akismet isn’t activated on my forum. Do I have any options?
I’m using bbPress 0.9.0.2. Yes it is integrated with my WordPress 2.7 blog. No active plugins at the moment.
