Hello, I have an issue
On my forum, one of my admins has done something, I have no idea what...
None of my forums or subforums shows up on the forum, our posts are still there, but none of my forums or subforums shows up even though all groups can view them.
Is there a setting that hides forums? How can I re-enable them?
Thank you.
Check index template and make sure you have word in there :
{$forums}
Are they hidden for guests only or are they hidden for all the usergroups??
If they are hidden for guests only then go to AdminCp >> Users & Groups >> Groups >> Guests >> Forums and Posts and make sure Can View Board and Can View Threads is checked.
If its doing it for all the usergroups then check the permissions for the forums and the usegroups as described above.

it's doing it for all of them, not just guests.
He told me on MSN that he messed up the templates so I couldn't fix the forum...I reimported my theme and stuff...
Here's the index template for my theme:
<html>
<head>
<title>{$mybb->settings['bbname']}</title>
{$headerinclude}
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
lang.no_new_posts = "{$lang->no_new_posts}";
lang.click_mark_read = "{$lang->click_mark_read}";
// -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
{$header}
{$forums}
{$boardstats}
<dl class="forum_legend smalltext">
<dt><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/on.png" alt="{$lang->new_posts}" title="{$lang->new_posts}" style="vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px;" /></dt>
<dd>{$lang->new_posts}</dd>
<dt><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/off.png" alt="{$lang->no_new_posts}" title="{$lang->no_new_posts}" style="vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px;" /></dt>
<dd>{$lang->no_new_posts}</dd>
<dt><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/offlock.png" alt="{$lang->forum_locked}" title="{$lang->forum_locked}" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></dt>
<dd>{$lang->forum_locked}</dd>
</dl>
<br style="clear: both" />
{$footer}
</body>
</html>
To make sure that the problem is in the templates or the theme, set the default template and see if the problem is still occurring.

Why do you need the URL? To see if I qualify for support?

I changed my theme to the default theme in my user cp, and the problem is still occurring.

Most of the time we ask for a URL its so that we can see the problem first hand and understand it.

Could you PM me a temporary admin account that I can use to login to the adminCP so I can have a look?
EDIT: User pm'd admin details, found it to be a permission error, corrected permissions and forums were visible again.
