You don’t need to do anything with that file!
Now you need to go to your admin panel and enable the option “allow members to create groups”? Or something along the line of that so I can create a group
Do same with forums
You are now an Administrator, that should give you full access.
Why thank you for trusting me
I will work on things and test some things in meantime
No, thank you for helping me! :o)
Feel free to try anything, and then let me know to try in the other directory where I keep the actual site.
-Tested Hnla’s solution, or rechecking in group settings. No-success
-Tested re-installing forums- No success
-Tested going to default theme- No success.
Maybe @hnla can assist me. This man is having problems with forums (error when creating topic), but your solution is not working for him.
He is graciously letting me go in as admin to do some tests, but they all come up negative!
By the way… as I am doing tests, I get a alot of Internal Server Errors…
I read through this whole thing and tried some of the stuff u guys put down none of them worked for me as well. Now I decide to put word press forum up and used that one until somebody find the solution
I suspect that you are not connecting to the DB, can you look for the file bb-config.php it should be in your root directory same place as your wp-config.php it contains DB connection details in the same way wp-config does. bb-config must have the same connection details as wp-config.
Both has connection to the same database . Can it be a bug or something it s just wired that there is no error message or what so ever.
On the main forum’s directory, if you post a new topic, it will redirect back to the page right?
But on individual forums it says “there was an error when creating the topic”
yeh you press create topic and it jumps back to the main page and it s say there no topic has been created or if you do it from the groups it says “there was an error when creating the topic”
“By the way… as I am doing tests, I get a alot of Internal Server Errors…”
Yes Savannah, I already reported this situation to my hosting provider. Their short answer was: upgrade to a VPS! :S
With my moderators hat on: Can I please remind people that on tech forums it is frowned upon to hijack threads i.e have two or more people asking questions within the one topic, this is due to threads rapidly becoming confused, my question was directed at ? one person but another replied in answer to it, this thread and it’s responses belong to the original OP or at least are meant to.
Dear hlna,
In most of the support forums I participate people is encouraged to do exactly the opposite, because you could end having too many people asking the same questions. I think its better that people that had the same problem read the same suggestions to solve them.
BUT if you are the moderator and those are the rules, I respect them. Should I create a new topic to ask the same question and receive the same answers?
Regards,
Joel
