Merged Locked category => section

After upgrading to Kunena 2.0.2 I have lost the ability to move topics into a locked category.

The category lock description states, "Set to Yes if you want to lock this category. Nobody but Moderators and Admins can create new topics or replies in a locked category (or move posts to it)."

Any idea what I need to look at to get this working again?

This looks like the issue:


Some categories are considered Sections and other are not. In the attached screenshot the Olive Grove Category has a sub category titled "Archived Jobs". The same "Archived Jobs" sub category under "Stellar Mock Community" is considered a "Section".

I can see the difference in the backend or how to make all the sub categories not be sections.

I thought sections were only the categories in the Top Level.

I think this happened when I updated kunena from 1.7 to 2.

Here is the backend for the problem Archived Jobs sub category that is functioning like a section.

If you create a category and do not have any topics in it and then lock it, you create a section. You cannot post in a section. What you need to do is create a category, place a message in the category and then lock it. After that your moderators/administrators can post more topics or move other topics into that category.

It's a little tricky, I know, but it works.

That did the trick.

Thanks

Hi there,

I was sent here after asking a question in a forum, about not being able to post in my categories, even though they are in sections already.

I tried to follow these tips, but I still never get a place where I can leave a message.

Any tips?
