G'day, CFCSW6, and welcome to the forum. Your problems do sound like things we've heard before. Perhaps it might make it easier for us to see what stage you're at if you posted the URL of your website.

There are a number of things that new users of Kunena can do for themselves. There is a lot information about Kunena and how to set it up in the documentation Wiki . Kunena is a Joomla extension that installs just like every other Joomla extension. After you have installed the Kunena component, you only need to create a Joomla menu item and Kunena should work immediately ... without having to do anything else! :woohoo: But, sometimes, things don't go according to plan - or users change something - and things don't work.

Before advising you further on what you might need to do next, it would be best to see where you're currently at.

Hello,

1°)At the end of kunena installation do you have seen the message : "successfull install" ?
2°) When you go into the kunena configuration panel, do you have any errors messages ?

Hi many thanks for your reply.

www.1026.tv is my 1st ever site i've ever done. And so far i've done everything by trail n error.

I haven't changed to config' settings. It said that installation was ok. (no error messages)

Noramally i set up a cat & a section, but i didn't really know what to do on this one.
As said, i did try hard to go through posts and wikkidocs etc etc.... but : -(

Thanks for the help!

ps, i did try and place into my forum button, as you can see, well in google chrome anyway www.1026.tv/index.php?tp=1

OK. Thank you for posting the URL.

The first problem is that the menu item (entitled "Forum", on the right side of the page) links to a non-existent page. That's easily fixed. You need to change the menu type using the Joomla Menu Manager.

Your forum is located at 1026.tv/index.php?option=com_kunena

You have changed your Kunena configuration settings. Actually, I think you've messed them up. It would be much easier if you restored your Kunena settings to their original, default values and then make successive changes incrementally, one at a time. If you must change anything, please read Configuration Tips .
