There are no back up settings, depending on the back-up files, the changes would always happen.

Is there some setting in wpForo I can set such that it stays working after a restore from backup?

I followed the following steps:

  • wpForo > Boards
    • change the slug from my-community to community-2
    • Save
  • In cPanel run SQL command that is shown in error message in wpForo
  • Refresh browser
  • wpForo > Boards
    • Should see two boards.
    • Delete the community-2 board

I have fixed the slug and board ID, but I can access to the forum page, you have a plugin which doesn't let me enter the forum page, I get redirected to the following page:

Under tools/Database Tables, I saw that "Problems Found in Database". I click on "Solve database problems" button but that did not work. I wen to cPanel to run the SQL statement and I get the error, "#1062 - Duplicate entry 'crew-community' for key 'unique_slug'"

Now my forums are completely blank.  Is it possible to get my forums and settings back? It appears my data is there but not showing. See image. I do have site backup files.

 

Thanks,

Cey
