Simple Forum Plugin for WordPress Installation Bug

If you see this error in firebug: Access to restricted URI denied (NS_ERROR_DOM_BAD_URI)…

This is likely you have set in your WordPress installation:

define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
define('FORCE_SSL_LOGIN', true);

This is a severe bug in Simple Forum.

In this case, Simple Forum will not simply install, actually, it’s AJAX components will not like https protocol prefix.

Solution:

Log out from wordpress

Comment in config.php:

//define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
//define('FORCE_SSL_LOGIN', true);

Log in (with a normal http link)

Perform installation of the Simple forum Plugin. Everything should go smoothly now.
Uncomment the commented before. Log out/log in back with https.

May be also valid for other plugins.
