Re: How do I recover my threads, along with posts?

You deleted the page, not the thread. Remake the page with the following code:
[[module ForumThread]]

[!-- please do not alter this page if you want to keep your forum working --]

(Note: I got that code right from this page!, options, then view source)

How do I recover my threads, along with posts?

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 01:41:32 +0000

I have read your page above, it has provided me with better knowledge, but I'm still unfamiliar with this stuff…

Anyways…

My situation is pretty similar, or even exact - I was hoping that you could tell me how to recover all the threads of my forum. The site is lolwiki.wikidot.com

I was browsing the forums, and noticed a thread I didn't want. I proceeded to deleting it. After I deleted it, I tried accessing other threads… The result I got was a page saying "This page does not (yet) exist."

I posted a lot of stuff on, and I was looking to keeping it too, so I need help on recovering it……

Any advice is greatly anticipated and accepted…

Consider this as an urgent S.O.S. with quite a few users waiting for the forums to work again.

Broken forum

Hi all I have a problem with my forum pages that falls outside of the 'fixes'.
I? have all the pages coded correctly but can not for the life of me work out where the buttons have gone.

Is there a way to delete the forum and start from scratch, I went through the step by step guide to creating the forum and didnt see anywhere to activate it, could this be that it has been activated already.

for those that need to look the forum is at http://rmaa.wikidot.com/rmaa-wiki-forum

any assistance would be appreciated

Cheers

When you move something to the hidden category it seems that the option to 'show' the hidden category is available to anyone ~ How do you remove the 'show' option?

Re: It worked for me. Thanks!

Good info. I fixed my forum after using the WRONG delete option.

Note to self and others: By all means "move a thread/post to hidden:deleted" but don't use the "delete page" option at the bottom. That's a global thing you want to avoid in the forum.

It worked for me. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for this info. It worked great for my after one of our "Admin" users deleted the "forum:thread" page.
