Merged K 3.0 Kunena menu issues

I just installed Kunena on the latest version of Joomla. However, I the Kunena menu at the top of the forum pages keeps disappearing. I've restored the menu several times using the Restore Menu option under the Menu Manager, but then it just ends up going away again.

Here's my configuration:

G'day, Bryan, and welcome to the forum.

You have two conflicting items in your mainmenu menu. Delete menu item id=127 (the one called "forums") and you should be OK.

I looked at your site. It certainly is difficult to navigate to where Kunena is without logging in, isn't it? And, without a user account on your site, I can't even get past the first page.

*** Topics merged ***

I suggest you use look at the Wiki article called Kunena menu issues, you will find the link on our FAQs page. I hope this helps.

I have Joomla 3 and today I noticed that an update was available for Kunena 3.I let it run the update and now after it sucessfully completed, my site only gives 404 errors.

Luckily, I can access the back end admin pages. Turning off Kunena does not fix it.

help!

G'day, simontv, and welcome to Kunena.

I do not think this is a defect with K 3.0.2. I think this is a Joomla menu issue on your site. I have moved your topic to a different category.

When you installed K 3.0.2, did you follow the installation instructions - did you see the video tutorial in the installation guide that explains how to setup your Kunena menu?

There are also many other topics in the forum that help with problems people have with setting up Kunena to work with their Joomla menu. They are in this category where I have moved your topic and they are "stickied". There are also articles in the Wiki that relate to Kunena "menu issues" . I hope this information helps.

For your information, 99% of "HTTP 404 errors" in Joomla are caused by wrongly-configured menu items.

Hello,

Can-you put here please your Kunena report configuration settings ?

I tried to post settings, but when I hit submit, I get a 500 error on this forum.

???

You might be right about menu. I can see the menu along the top,followed by the crazy 404 error. The reason why I posted it here though is that I did the automatic update from the site manager page. It went ok. or so it seemed...

[strike]Paste of text seems to fail, so I did it as an attachment[/strike]Edited by moderator

Yes, I see the problem. You have a custom menu that has out-of-date menu items. Read Kunena Menu issues in the Wiki - restore the standard Kunena menu - and you will fix your HTTP 404 errors.

*** Topics merged by moderator ***

These questions have been asked and answered before in this [merged] topic.

Thanks so much for the help on this. The issue was indeed related to the menus. I was missing a default "home" page on the main menu. Odd that it was not an issue before the Kuena update, but I guess it was going to happen eventually.

I have followed the upload/install instructions but can only see the menu item on the frontend but it is not linkable to the default categories. See image.

How can I fix this?


Thanks
