Solved Problem with category access - access denied

I have kunena 3.0.4 installed on a Joomla 3.2.2 along with community builder 1.91. Everything has been working well until this morning. 3 categories now show "access denied, you do not have permission to view this page" even when I am logged in as administrator. I have looked at the category settings and they are unchanged. I have resynced the users. I have checked the user database with no errors found. I am lost. Am still learning kunena management and really need to get these categories opened back up. Any ideas?

G'day, allenjj, and welcome to Kunena.

K 3.0.1 is not supported and contains nearly 200 problems/bugs/defects/issues that were fixed in K 3.0.4. We recommend that you (a) update to K 3.0.4 and then see if this fixes your problem and, if it doesn't, (b) watch the video vimeo.com/69818669 .

You should also look carefully at the permissions settings - use the Kunena Category Manager - that relate to the three categories in which you have problems. It is possible that the cause of your problems lies in how you've set your access permissions.

Sorry I posted incorrectly as I do have 3.04 installed. The category permissions have all worked up unitl now and none have changed. These 3 categories have worked fine allowing users to access them, create posts and read posts, then today access denied for just 3 categories when most of my other categories have the same settings.

Can you post a screenshot of the permission settings for one of the categories where you get this "access denied" issue?

First is the error message and second is the permissions for that category.

Thank you. I know what the message looks like.

It is really important that you watch the video vimeo.com/69818669 . I think I may know what the problem is, but your configuration report will confirm my suspicions.
