Since i have upgraded to the latest version new members cannot register.

I have disabled all of the spam checking stuff but its still not working.

Any ideas?

Thanks

^ have you updated the templates ? esp. member_register template may be reverted to its original version

upgrading guidance Wrote:Visit your Admin Control Panel, then go to Templates & Style > Templates > Find Updated Templates.
This will show you a list of all the templates that have changed during the upgrade.

You can either revert these templates to their default - meaning all the changes you've made to it will be removed - or you can see a Diff Report which will show you exactly what's changed. If you have a custom theme installed, it is probably best that you look at the Diff Report and apply the changes you need.

or it would be better to install & use a theme fully compatible with MyBB 1.8.x

Hi

http://www.ford-ranger-forum-uk.co.uk

I've also got other issues such as plugins which don't work but they are not compatible so i have had to disable them.

The threads also appear differently.

I'm guessing all this is due to the theme compatibility.
^ earlier version's theme requires lot of changes.
it would be better to install & use a good looking theme which is compatible with MyBB 1.8.x

regarding the plugins, see if required plugins are available for MyBB 1.8.x at the Extend section

some of earlier version's plugins might work by changing the compatibility.
Ok, so i've changed to a compatible theme.

I've changed the plugin compatibility and got most of them to work again. Ones which i can't get working have been disabled.

still getting issues with members not being able to log in or register. I have cleared the cache etc

Members are claiming they can't post on the forum now. I've checked all the group permissions and all looks ok.

Found that the moderator group permissions had changed since the upgrade

Just opened the Config.php file and its empty.

Im sure this isn't correct!
Taptalk app isn't working now either/

Help!
I'm guessing this from had 1.6 installed before? Your theme is out of date and things like the registration page won't work. You will need to update the current theme or hire a designer to do it for you.

Upload the default 1.8 theme and try it to see if it works.

As for tapatalk you need to update your plugin, see Tapatalk for help with that.
