    Solved Help with setting up categories and forums

    Post by Fanciful April 5th 2024, 6:40 pm

    Good afternoon, I'm new here so hope I'm in the right place.

    I've just started setting up my own forum.

    Help with setting up categories and forums Screen10

    A category I started also appears as a forum, 'The Making of Civilisation' although it shows nil posts I can't delete it, it's the entry under the forum name and above the actual category that I wish to delete.

    I get either of the following two onscreen messages.

    Thank you for the prompt reply.

    Yes I have read the tutorials you kindly linked but they don't appear to answer my question.

    It looks like I may have inadvertently created a category and forum in the same name and the forums created have been dumped in both, hence I can't delete the unwanted forum without deleting everything.

    The only way around I can see is to copy everything then delete and start all over again, if I can't live with the eyesore. Otherwise just remove it from view.

    Please consider this solved, I will of course get back to you if any further problems arise.

    Sorry for the trouble.
