Hello Mercime,

Thanks for your input. As I stressed, I was trying to give constructive criticism. I meant no harm!

I work with DVD/BD authoring, and FCP editing – this is where I can help out others (and I do. Also very generously. And I do know all about the way forums work ). In this area I’m relying on others, and as our support guy was out of reach, I had a very critical breakdown situation on my hands yesterday.

It didn’t make sense to me, that Roger spent time writing that I shouldn’t make identical threads, without at least – in the same post? – writing a line in response to me having followed his original advice. Anyone could probably tell that this double thread was a desperate action on my behalf, for which I apologized promptly.

I’ve been very careful trying to describe what I have on my hands here – If you read my first post, you’ll see that I can’t access the admin panel (so I CAN’T change to default theme!). And if you read the posts after Rogers input, you’ll see that deleting the buddypress plugin didnt help – in other words I still cant access my admin panel. And the entire wordpress site is down.

I respect everyones time! I value (very highly!) what I get from any forum! And I give knowledge back (in my field of expertise)! In this case it seems that because I offended someone, I was excluded. Everyone makes mistakes. I was corrected. And I stated my opinion about forum behaviour.

I’m in over my head. And getting more frustrated by this forum. I thank you for your time – I do appreciate your help. But I’m gonna have to wait for my support guy to return. Thanks.

To Roger – this is meant as constructive criticism:

I’m very aware that you (I) cant expect help and “ready made” solutions whenever (the shit hits the fan?!) it suits you (me), but Im having a hard time understanding why you dont follow up, when your (initial very kind) help, didnt work. I must stress that this is meant in a constructive way. I hope its being read that way, too. By follow up I mean, that half a line from you saying “If that didnt work, I dont have any other suggestions” would’ve helped me – because then I could’ve started looking for solutions elsewhere.

No one has any suggestions at all…!?

It seems that the file permissions are ok. I’m not sure whether there’s a quick way to display properties of more files at the same time, but seeing them one by one, all the folders i checked were 755 and files 644. Could it be an issue of one single file/folder having the wrong properties?

[chrfriis]

Could the plugin activation have changed the file permissions?

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. I have no access to admin panel or the site itself. All is 403. I’ve deleted the buddy press login. This is a very unfortunate situation – ideas are very welcome.

[chrfriis]

I apologize.

hello roger,
thanks very much for your quick reply. i’ve deleted the buddy press folder, but unfortunately that didn’t help… there must be some files that have been changed by the buddy press plugin during the setup process?
