Solved Kunena Discuss not showing on articles ... only blog pages and front page.

Ah! I see the issue.

The menu item (ID=600) is pointing directly at the category "General Mattresses" (this explains why the Index page is a bit strange to me) - this is non-standard (even though it may work and it may not have any bearing on the situation)

Another thing you may like to do is to set up a test account. Post the information about the test account in here as ... and then one of us (who are moderators here, who can see what's hidden with the confidential BBcode) can login to your forum, attempt to post a comment on an article, and see why things are not working for you.

One other tip I can suggest is for you to read (and apply) the information in Kunena Discuss "quick and dirty" instructions for use

Hi sozzled,

Thank you ... and I apologize for the curtness of my previous reply.

I deleted the members only forum just to make sure that it wasn't an issue and the "symptoms" are the same.

The index menu item (ID #601) page is set for "show category" and is linked to "general mattresses" because I only use one category and this way the members go right to the listing of the posts rather than only seeing the single category. I found that there are less google bounces that way because they can scan the forum titles to see some of the available content and the activity of the forum.

The main menu link (ID #600) as you mentioned uses index as the default view so it shows the same view as index.

I have trashed and burned the menu on several occasions and it takes some time on a live site to get it back the way I like it afterwards so I will set up a test site on a subdirectory later tonight and change the menu defaults (so that two menu items aren't showing the same view) to see if that makes a difference. I'll also try a more "standard" menu to see if that makes a difference.

I'll also post the login information here so that you can take a look if the symptoms persist.

I read the link you posted about Discuss "quick and dirty" instructions for use before I posted but couldn't find an answer there. I also tried listing categories specifically in allowed categories (instead of using 0 for "all") and tried category mapping on a per article basis directly into the forum but none of these had any effect on the article pages. The thing that seems so strange to me is that the blog pages and the front page featured articles are working perfectly (I just tested them).

Thank you again ... and sorry for any misunderstanding ... and my frustrations.

I thought I would mention one other anomaly that is probably related to all of this.

If I try to map an article directly to a pre-existing topic that was created in the forum from the article in previous versions of Kunena Discuss like this {kunena_discuss:12569} or use this method to exclude an article from discussion ... the coding itself shows up in the article for both guests and logged in users but there is still no reply mechanism (either a link or a reply window depending on the setting) showing up for logged in users.

Hi Sozzled,

I've set up a test site with a separate database that is a duplicate of the main site and did a trash and rebuild of the Kunena menu and left everything with the default settings. The symptoms are the same as before (Kunena Discuss links or reply windows showing up on the front page and blog pages but not on articles).

I also set up an Admin user account for you. If you can figure out what is happening it would be great.

Any changes you make there are fine with me.



Thank you!

Sorry but that account does not seem to work

HiZozzled,

I'm not sure what I did but I must have written down the PW wrong.

I changed it to the one that is listed (and tested it). Sorry.
