Recently trying to clean up forum. Attempted to copy "other Art" from Other forum to Photo Forum.

Forum as it looks now logged in as Admin under forum management after copy attempt.  This is what it looked like originally before the copy.

This is a screen shot when logging in as user. The only forum showing is the Other forum.

As can be seen, the Photo Forums is no longer visible. Is there a way to restore to status before the attempted copy? Right now I have the forum closed for maintenance...

From the log: Copied settings and group permissions for usergroups #4 from forum #9 (Other Art) to forum #1 (Photo Forums )
Looks like you need to create a Category and move Photo Forums into that.
Tried that, still only see "Other" when logging in as regular user.

Tried adding another forum - still only shows the Other Art/Other forum. From Admin screen. Regular user shows only Other Art just like before. So it isn't even displaying new forums added.

Its likely that the forum permissions may be hiding it from usergroups.

You need to change the permissions of the category/forums possibly.
You've still not got Photo Forums in a Category. You've got Photo inside Photo Forums, it needs to be the other way around. The bold ones are Categories, they need to be top level and have forums inside them. Change Photo to have no parent, then change Photo Forums to be inside Photo.
Thanks. Finally got it back into some semblance of order without losing anything. Smile
