And you have a temp sub directory below Packages?

Make sure both are 755 (some hosts don't like 777).

You may also need to check ownership of the directories - but then if its shared hosting - only your helpdesk can do that.

I encountered that problem too. I don't know why this issue isn't fixed. It is one of the most important mod - to integrate smf with wp.
Users like me just follow the instructions stated. Boom, the above problems appear.
I have to re-enable the cookies and remove the plugin to make everything works back to normal.

I think it's not worth the hassle, considering the mods/plugins are all buggy and not frequently updated.
Henceforth, I disabled registration on my blog(wordpress) and direct my users to SMF forum for registration.
Problem 'solved'.

That should work:

'menu_action' => array(
'title' => 'Pro Ana Thinspiration',
'href' => 'http://www.proanathinspiration.net/,
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),

@eman its the same code  with the first one and it also crashed where am i suppose to put it, immediately before mlist array or please give me the line of code from before the new menu to after the new menu...
Thanks

Tony Reid

Its not the same code - look closely at the href line, its missing an apostrophe in the first example.

Kindred

in all of the above codes, you are missing a closing ),


'pro_ana_action' => array(
'title' => 'Pro Ana Thinspiration',
'href' => 'http://www.proanathinspiration.net/',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),
