For some reason simply opening topic/reply and clicking “update” makes it all work properly…weird. Without doing that it will only show cats and forums on front end but no topics or replies. After “updating” topics/replies in dash it all shows up on front end properly. Any idea why this would be?
Again, the repair tools break all. I’m thinking it is a php7 thing.
I figured out a work around which meant opening 1,000 topics/replies and resaving them all. Couple replies needed to be realligned. THE REPAIR TOOLS DO NOT WORK. They actually break everything…
Could this problem be related to trying to keep my categories in place over forums?
Nope. Did not work. still made the replies screen go all white when trying to use repair tools – didn’t do “Recalculate the position of each reply”. Before doing the repair tools everything looks good on back end but doesn’t show up on front end as being connected. Shows categories and forums and all counts, etc but no topics connected or replies, obviously.
Is the repair tools compatible with php7??
