Hi at all,

 

we have strange issue at our wpforo plugin.

All topics and posts are lost or not visible. But if i check at wpforo dashboard i can see that (see screenshot)

So i guess at the database is still everything there (?) but its not shown. What can i do?

 

many thanks for ideas

 

edit:

i saw a error message at the database:

i tried to solve the database problem with the button, nothing happened, then i follow the suggestion to insert direct at phpmayadmin

 

this:

SET AUTOCOMMIT = 0;
SET sql_mode='NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO';

INSERT INTO `wp_wpforo_boards` (`boardid`, `title`, `slug`, `pageid`, `modules`, `locale`, `is_standalone`, `excld_urls`, `status`, `settings`) VALUES(0, 'mein-tagebuch.de Sardinien', 'sardinien', 339, '{\"tags\":true,\"subscriptions\":true,\"mentioning\":true,\"follows\":true,\"notifications\":true,\"logging\":true,\"seo\":true,\"antispam\":true,\"akismet\":true,\"rss\":true,\"social\":true,\"revisions\":true,\"bookmarks\":true,\"wpforo-user-custom-fields\":true,\"wpforo-topic-custom-fields\":true,\"wpforo-private-messages\":true,\"wpforo-topic-prefix\":true,\"wpforo-advanced-attachments\":true,\"wpforo-embeds\":true,\"wpforo-memberpress\":true,\"wpforo-groups\":true,\"wpforo-suremembers\":true,\"wpforo-paid-membership-pro\":true,\"wpforo-woocommerce-memberships\":true,\"wpforo-mentioning\":true,\"wpforo-voice-posting\":true,\"wpforo-cross-posting\":true,\"wpforo-ad-manager\":true,\"wpforo-polls\":true,\"wpforo-emoticons\":true,\"wpforo-tenor\":true,\"wpforo-giphy\":true,\"wpforo-mycred\":true,\"wpforo-syntax-highlighter\":true}', 'de_DE', 0, '[]', 1, '{\"title\":\"mein-tagebuch.de Sardinien\",\"desc\":\"mein-tagebuch.de Informationsportal\"}');

;SET AUTOCOMMIT = 1;

 

after i get some error issues see second screenshot

Hi @tomb 

Please install phpMyAdmin plugin or use the same tool in your hosting cPanel to access your database. Then find the wp_wpforo_boards table. Edit the row and set 0 the boardid field for that row.

The go Dashboard > wpForo > Overview admin page, scroll down, find [Delete all caches] button and click it.

Hi @tomb 

Duplicate entry 'sardinien'

https://mein-tagebuch.de/ sardinien/
https://mein-tagebuch.de/ forum/ (also Sardinien)

Dashboard > wpForo > Boards

remove the board you don't want
forum or sardinien

@tutrix yes, wpforo doesnt show my forum ...so the forum sardinien e.g. isnt shown , and the only forum i see, it shows that here are 0 topics 0 posts...)

 
i have only this page with the shortcode [wpforo]

again

you have 2 pages with your forum

once here as Sardinien

>> https://mein-tagebuch.de/sardinien/

and again here as Forum

>> https://mein-tagebuch.de/forum/

so 2 pages with the wpforo shortcode

remove one of them

I do not know this view on your screenshot
via phpMyAdmin plugin or directly via hosting cPanel phpMyAdmin you can easily edit this
