Merged [Merged topic] How do I restore my Kunena menu?

Thank you from the error message.

It looks like Kunena fails to find suitable menu item. Do you have menu called Kunena Menu and all items in there? Kunena 1.6/1.7 depends on having that menu -- Kunena 2.0 doesn't need it anymore.

I am using Kunena 1.7 on Joomla 1.5.24 - configuration settings report attached below. My problem is that any link to the root /forum gives a 404 error. This means that any replies or new posts do not work at present. I have installed Mootools upgrade, and went to 1.5.24 to resolve a separate issue with the main site. I'm probably missing something obvious, but I'd love to know what it is...

G'day, Watty, and welcome to Kunena.

I went to your site but there's not a lot I can see because I don't have any access to your forum. I suggest you read Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) in the Wiki to gain some appreciation for how "/forum" links should work (and why they may not work). You should also read about why you should not be using Legacy mode, too; you should know that any components that you've installed that require "legacy mode" are unsupported and are likely candidates for completely making a mess of your site. Our advice is to disable "legacy" mode and remove any components that are dependent on that plug-in.

Thanks for that - I have checked, and SEO is set up correctly. I disabled the Legacy plugin, but it has made no difference. I also restored Kumena to default settings (fortunately, I am just setting the board up, so I'm not running a huge risk with this! Restoring to default has had no effect either. Further observed behaviours:

If I go to the forum as a guest, and attempt to log in, it returns me to the Joomla login page and tells me I must login first. Then, when I do that, I get a 404 page, although it does appear to log me ion this time.

Once logged in, I can navigate the forum as normal, but when I reply to a post, or use quick reply, I am redirected to www.pgysa.bc.ca/forum/post.html , with a 404 and nothing is posted. This is true whether I log in as myself, a Super Administrator, or as a regular user.

Generic login for testing:

I will look into this later. I suggest that you read again the link that I posted in my earlier reply. It's quite possible that the .htaccess file that you're using may be old or customised and it would be a good idea to replace it with the standard file that ships with Joomla (as htaccess.txt which you have to rename). Also I don't think it adds anything to your website if your pages have a .html suffix (so I would turn off that option).

I'll do both of those, thanks.

I think I've figured out why your links aren't working and why you're getting 404 errors. Most of the time, these things are caused by not properly setting up the Kunena menu. There is a guide in the FAQs page to how you should do this. It involves a technique that we sometimes refer to as the "trash-burn-build" approach. You trash your existing menu items that have links to Kunena, delete them from the menu trash, and use the Kunena Create Menu function in the backend. This, almost certainly, should fix your problem.

See How do I restore my Kunena menu?

Thank you, that seems to have done the trick. Now going through my notes to find out what I did to mess it up!

nvm, got it

Hi,

Why on my website ( www.craff.org/portal/ ) does not appear the tabs, like in this forum?

Someone can help me?
