Question Kunena install fail v 4.0.7 on joomla 3.4.5

You said you have several problems:

1) You cannot create new topics (and there are no Reply buttons);
2) you see "Loading BBcode editor..." when you try to post a message;
3) you cannot create polls;
4) you cannot find any documentation; and
5) you say that you are getting the "runaround".

I can probably help you by working directly with you, one on one.

One suggestion that I would like to make is that you uninstall the plugins JomSocial - My Kunena Forum Menu 2.0.3, JomSocial - My Kunena Forum Posts 2.0.3 and JomSocial - Kunena Groups 2.0.3; these plugins do not work with K 4.0.

The second suggestion that I would make is to set your Kunena configuration settings back to their original values:

Thank you for the reply.

My issue with not having "new topic" or being able to reply is within THIS forum, not my site's one.

I cannot find the plugin's you refer to as needing uninstalling via the backend. Should I look for them with cPanel?

I cannot follow your screenshot for restoring default values as I can find nothing that looks similar on my version of Kunena.

Also, I did do a search of this forum for information, and of course read "Before you post your question, read this first", a well written post by yourself. However are you aware that none of the linked documents work ?

The attachment shows my screen when logged into the kunena forums. Note neither of the links shown in this screenshot of your post currently work.

Yes I am aware. The topic , shown in your screenshot, is a very old—nearly 3½ years old. I cannot be held accountable if links in old topics do not work; that's something you will have to ask the site owners and forum moderators to explain.

You cannot reply to locked topics.

Hello,

The documentation to start with Kunena can be found here : www.kunena.org/docs/en/setup/configurations

Can anyone explain to me why I cannot create new topics in this forum? Sozzled says I have to ask moderators why links in old posts do not work but that was to do with documentation links, but that IS NOT my issue. My issue is that I just never have a new topic tab. How can I ever make a post to say that I cannot make a post !!! Also this is NOT me attempting to reply to locked topics, I do happen to know that only admins and moderators can do that.

Can we get over the old topic business? This is the ONLY way I can communicate on this forum. If I cannot soon post new topics for some help with Kunena I will have no alternative other than to go to phpbb or similar.

we have disabled the new topic menu item, to limit the spam.

So you need to go to the category, then click new topic.
