Hello Support Forum.
I really hope that someone can help me out here – struggling..

Alright so, after my last VPS bugged out, and somehow blocked me out of my wp-admin, database corrupt and so forward. (Which I’m guessing was caused by a bad plugin.)

I had a backup plugin, and now have the site up and running again at http://www.blazeplay.com
now if you locate http://www.blazeplay.com/forum there’s nothing.
The shortcode is still on the forum page, but nothing is showing – I tried disabling plugins adding new forums, but the only thing it shows is some “upload file bar”.

Is there a way to troubleshoot this, and hopefully find the issue?

Thank you.

so if you go into Dashboard do you see forums/topics/replies as items, and if so, can you see topics etc.

And what backup for data did you have? ie were all posts copied including custom posts?

[@fugglet Participant 10 years, 1 month ago]

Everything was backed up, database, plugins etc.

Every topic, reply and user is still there intact.

Yea. I see them all in there as they should be.
I can go to the link of the item to see it on the website.
It just doesn’t show me the forum on the website, even with use of the shortcode.

I’ve tried making other test pages, but didn’t work – only shows some upload image bar.

ok, so what is the slug in

dashboard>settings>forums forum root slug

forum root

?

[@fugglet Participant 10 years, 1 month ago]

Forum Root “forums”
Forum Prefix “Ticked off”
Forum root should show “Froum Index.

Is what the 3 options are set to.

I fixed it using an earlier backup, thanks for the help anyway.
