Solved Kunena Latest Module 3.0.1 not showing latest posts

After upgrading Kunena 1.7 to 3.0.4 and installing the 3.0.1 version of Kunena Latest Module it doesn't show the most recent posts any more. Instead it shows "No posts to display"

I have these module settings (which were working previously with 1.7):

I have tried changing the Time Period to 1 year and same result.

Thank you for such a beautifully-detailed question. It really assists everyone trying to help you if you "do the right thing" and provide us with your configuration report (watch the video vimeo.com/69818669 ).

I have no clue, based on the information given in this topic, as to why you cannot see the latest messages displayed by the Kunena Latest module. Maybe it's a "permissions" thing? Maybe you have messages posted in a category that require the user to be logged-in to see the messages? I'm taking a wild guess based on the fact that J! 1.5 did not have ACL protection and J! 3.2 does but I really don't know what is the cause of your particular problem.

The subject of this topic is "Kunena Latest Module 3.0.1 not showing latest posts". Try chaning the module setting from

Module Output = Latest Topics

to

Module Output = Latest Posts

The reason for suggesting this change is that, if people are only replying to existing topics then there are, in effect, no "latest topics" for the Kunena Latest module to display. If there are no "latest topics" then there will be nothing for the module to display.

Again, that's just another wild guess.

Hello,

Do-you have something displayed in recent discussions page ? Can-you put here your Kunena report configuration settings ?

Thanks. It was a PITA to hand copy all those settings

yeah I tried changing that and also to show the last years worth as well. Also tried various other permutations and combinations with same result. No joy. Most all messages are in category that requires login but I'm viewing the latest module when logged in, in fact that's the only time you see the output of this module. I'm on J 2.5.17. I'll poke around with permissions and see what I can find and report back.

As I indicated earlier, without actually seeing the situation at first hand and without having your unedited Kunena configuration report to work with, it's all guesswork on our part. Good luck and I hope you discover the cause.

Yes I can see 7 topics in the recent topics.
Here's the unedited settings from the live site. The previous one on the other thread was from a test site which I did not want to show publicly.
