Actually, that's not right. You should
only need (as minimum)
SECTION and
|__ CATEGORY
I sympathise with people who find it difficult to understand the concept of sections and categories (and we all agree that the
documentation
on this part of
Kunena is hard to find and even harder to find!) but I may have a clue as to why you've found it necessary to create sub-categories under existing categories.
The subject of this topic that says "You do not have permissions to start a new topic!". There are
many topics in this forum
on this subject.

Perhaps you may have created the "first-level" category and then locked it?
If you lock a category
, before creating any topics in that category, no-one (not even the forum moderators or administrators) can create topics in that category. Is that what you may have done?
Locking an empty category is one of most common mistakes people can make.

It shouldn't really matter if you make a section accessible to "public" or to "registered"; it only matters if you want to allow the public to see the if a section exists or not. The configuration setting
Kunena configuration »
Security »
Security Settings »
Registered Users Only = Yes
will hide your whole forum from non-registered visitors, yes, if that's what you want to do.
