2.3.2 and WP 3.6
Having just installed a new version, I guess i had to create a top category to hold the others.
I did, saved it as a category and created two subs as working forums.
However when i view the forums page the holding top category says “This forum is empty”

The instructions say that a category cannot hold topics – so why is it saying it is empty please?

There is probably no check wether it is a category or a normal forum, so the error message is still displayed. Can probably be changed with an is_ check in the theme files.

Thanks Xevo
Being quite new to WP and bbPress, I wonder if you would be so good as to expand on that please.

Hi,

I’m having the same problem on my site: http://www.silverstacker.co.uk

I’m pretty new to all this as well, is there anyone who could give a simple explanation of how to resolve the “this forum is empty” error message?

Thanks,

[@ronthai Participant 11 years ago]

it is gone as soon as a post is made in any forum under the category
