My forums aren't appearing

[Alexmr19]

When I make my forum I then go to make sub forums under categories... well when I make them they do not appear on the forum page.

Why is this?

Did you set permissions ?

Below is an example of how I go about creating categories and forums + the permissions


ACP > Forums > type the category in the box at the bottom > click create new forum >

> forum type =category > parent forum = no parent > submit

> set permissions > select the groups from the list (using the mouse ctrl and alt to select multiple groups) > set the required permissions for each group > submit.

click on the forum tab again > click on the category you just created > type in a forum name > click create new forum > forum type = forum > parent forum = this will be the name of the category you created > half way down the page it will say " Copy permissions from: = the name of category (if permissions are the same.....if not "Do not copy permissions) submit

If you copied permissions from the category just click "« Back to previous page"
you can now make more forums for that category.

repeat the above stages again when creating new categories and forums

Remember categories need to have permissions set and a forum to show on the index page.
