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Please make sure your hosting server MySQL is not outdated.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

Client version

mysqlnd 5.0.12-dev - 20150407 - $Id: 7cc7cc96e675f6d72e5cf0f267f48e167c2abb23 $

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And I think I was correct, your server MySQL database is outdated.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.

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.

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?
