Hi @jono3,

Please make sure your hosting server MySQL is not outdated. It should be 5.6 and higher.

It seems the database doesn't support utf8mb4_unicode_ci collation.

So I'm not 100% sure how to check that but under Tools>Site Hleath>Info>Database I found

Does that mean I can't use this plugin?  Can I update this somehow or do I have to move my site?

@jono3,

You can see the MySQL version in Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard admin page.

And I think I was correct, your server MySQL database is outdated. You should contact to your hosting service and ask them update it to 5.6 or better 5.7.

I contacted my host and they were able to execute something with my SQL to get the full database installed without any errors. However, it still shows v5.5.5.  I am now having a different problem with the forums being created but not showing up on the forum page.  Would this still be related to the SQL, or is this a different problem entirely?
