 * Hi,
 * I also have a problem with the forum, the names of the topics are not visible,
   so we can not access them.
 * same as JonathanB’s post
 * The funny thing is, is that it worked ono my local version.
    Are you able to 
   help?
 * Thanks
    Fiona

 * Looking at this further I noticed that the sql table ‘forum-posts’ whilst had
   created a record and stored the ID the subject and text fields were blank. Any
   help would be greatly appreciated.

 * Hi Jean-Philippe
    No I did not resolve the problem. It seems to me this plugin
   hasn’t been supported for a while now. I ended up not using it and moving onto
   bbpress and bbP private groups. Shame though as I liked the functionality of 
   the other but I did not have the time to wait for resolution. Thanks Fiona

 * Hi Fiona
 * May be it’s too late for you, but my Stéphane, he have found the solution and
   I write here if a future person have a same problem :
 * the solution of my friend **Stéphane** :
 * **add the modification in the line 16 in the file wp-insert.php:**
 * if(!@include(‘wp-config.php’)) {
    require_once($root.’/wp-config.php’); } mysql_connect(
   DB_HOST,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD);
 * **add the modification on the line 10 in the file wp-pro.php:**
 * $root = dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))));
    if(!@include(‘wp-config.
   php’)) { require_once($root.’/wp-config.php’); } mysql_connect(DB_HOST,DB_USER,
   DB_PASSWORD);
