Question Migrated from PHPbb3 but now can't view posts

I created a new forum and made a test post, which seems to work as designed.
So my question is... is there any way to move these orphan posts to forums?
Many thanks!

I'm not familiar with how phpBB3 organises its categories, but it helps to understand the difference between categories and forums in a Kunena sense; Standard (consistent) Terminology?! helps to explain these differences. Equipped with your understanding of the terminology, you should be able to now better understand the Forum Administration facility.

Yes and no. As long as you can see the topics in the frontend, as an administrator/moderator you can move them, individually or as a group, from one [level-1+] forum to another forum regardless of what category they are in ... but here is where I have to warn you: you must never move a topic to a category (i.e. a level-0 forum). If you do, you and your users won't be able to find it again.Is there a way to "create" subforums and then assigning each post to a specific one?
Again, it's getting past the terminology that's the main hurdle. I would hope that, in a future version of Kunena, the administration of forums and categories and the moderator tools to administer moving topics will be made simpler and less accident-prone.

Next question, can I password protect just a single category or forum?
Thanks!

I'm not aware of any built-in mechanisms in Kunena that automagically repair orphaned posts. It would be a very useful thing to have. Unfortunately, this really only leaves direct manipulation of the raw data using a tool like phpMyAdmin. It's not easy.

That's a relief, I suppose.At this point I'm considering the lost posts acceptable losses, since I was able to get the lion's share by simply moving my existing categories into forums under new category names. It was a small board so easy to do.

Kunena doesn't have a "password protect" concept. You can assign certain permissions controlling who can view messages and who can post messages, and these can be controlled on a forum-by-forum basis to a certain extent. The tutorial Forum Setup, Permissions and Forums for special Groups provides a some case studies that may help you.Next question, can I password protect just a single category or forum?
As we have now dealt with the question that you originally asked, and you have accepted the "collateral loss" as a consequence, I am closing this topic.
