Hello,
The portal on my forum isn't working. I have been over and over the settings and cannot find the problem!
History: I recovered my forum from a recent backup, everything seemed fine. I then installed a new theme
This One, again everything seems fine.
Then I noticed on the portal page the left side columns (welcome, search, online, stats, latest threads) all work fine but the main content, post preview (?) area doesn't update. It seems to be static with the posts from the time I made the backup I recovered from?
I'm pulling my hair out and at my age I don't have too much left!
Hope somebody can help.
I'm using MyBB 1.6.1.5
admin panel >> configuration >> settings >> Portal Settings -->
Forum ID to pull announcements from --> does it have a good number of active forum IDs
Number of announcements to show --> is it set to 10 or more ?

Forum ID to pull announcements from: 1,2,3,4,5
Number of announcements to show: 10
assuming that you are using MyBB's default portal without code modification
run file verification tool available at tools & maintenance section of admin panel.
focus is on missing / changed php files. ignore images. ignore files reported from install folder
post the result

Had done that already but did it again to double check and it's all good other than
inc/languages/english/member.lang.php to which I made changes....
^ do you have any active plugins related to portal ? if so, disable such plugins and check portal page

I don't think they are portal related, I have pro stats & reg secure plug ins - Did already try disabling just in case they were causing a problem.
I think I may be getting somewhere with this.
If I go to 'Tools & Maintenance' > 'Cache Manager' > (and click on) forums.
This is (a snippet of) what I see:

The above 'Headquarters' is actually number one on my board but as you can clearly see the fid is 34 !!
I certainly didn't have 'Forum ID to pull announcements from' set to 34

All working now.
To summarise then go to 'Tools & Maintenance' > 'Cache Manager' > (and click on) forums <---- Get your fid's from here and enter those fid's into your 'Forum ID to pull announcements from'
I do hope this helps other people out.
Thank-you .m. - you guys rock.
