Dig this –

I’m about to lauch the forum, so I deleted all my test posts. Now whenever I try to create a new post (even logged in as Admin) I’m taken to an error screen saying “This Topic Has Been Closed” …. what’s going on?

See for yourself – http://www.triplepundit.com/forum

The only thing I did prior to it ceasing to function was delete a bunch of test posts…

Have you read these threads?

Did you remove the “pick a forum: drop down from your theme? I recall that having an affect at one point. Otherwise, have you recounted all your topics, posts, etc, in the admin?

Thanks yeah, I looked at those threads and didn’t find anything. Recounting did nothing… yes… I think I did knock out that “pick a forum” thing…. however, I guarantee that didn’t cause the problem because I’ve been posting test posts left and right since then. Only immediately after deleting my tests did the problem kick in… hadn’t make any changes to the theme. It’s definitely theme related, as the default theme works… very strange. I’ll put that dropdown thing back and see what happens.

> It’s definitely theme related

that’s a good start.

Unbelievable. So… basically what happened was that I HAD commented out the drop down code… didn’t remove it, just commented out. I put it back, and bam! it works!
