Hello, recently installed this on a website I am building to be a forum. I added multiple categories and topics to each however nothing shows. see the link below.

Thoughts?

Hi @yoster4,

Please follow the steps below:

1. If a category (blue panels) does not have forums (grey panels) it will not be displayed on front-end. Each category should contain at least one forum. So please navigate to the Dashboard > Forums > Forums admin page and make sure you have a forum created. Then click the "Save forums order and hierarchy" button.

2. Then go-to Forum Accesses page and makes sure the users have permission to see the forum. To check it please navigate to the Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Forum Accesses > admin page, edit each access and make sure the "Can view forum" and "Can view replies" are enabled.

3. Finally, go to Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard clicks on the "Delete All Caches" button, go to frontend page press CTRL+F5(twice) and check again.
