Question Panic - users getting moderator messages and access controls not working

Kunena uses Joomla ACL, so you have a wrong setting somewhere. You can change the permission on the global settings, or on the permissions on Kunena.

Why won't you believe me? I've been through all that and nobody apart from admin and SU have *any* access. And now even admin has no access.

I think I need to upgrade to a better version. If somebody knows how I can do this, can they please let me know.

Thanks.

I believe you, that's not the point what I was making. But this issue, you get by 2 things.

1) That all users are on an admin group
2) Or by mistake my changing the usergroup permission, doesn't mean that users can login on the backend.

Whats the error message that you have, when you login on the backend with the admin account.

If you can't login anymore, then you need to go to your database -> *_user_usergroup_map and change the group_id by the admin id, to "8" (8 = super admin by default)

You can update kunena:

Backend -> extensions -> update -> clear cache -> find updates

Or by downloading the package, then install it by the joomla installer.

Not all users. Authors and editors. But when I removed one of the users from the authors group, the others also ceased to be admins in Kunena. Also, the actual admins also lost access. I can still access the backend without problem - it's only Kunena that's affected. And of course, I can use my SU account to access everything.

It says no updates available for Kunena. Doing it manually I suspect I have to start from scratch, or no? Can I "update" from a package without having to recreate everything?
