This is the discussion related to the wiki page Forums : Fixing Them.
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.
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
You cant start from scratch.
have you set any categories in the forum
I have set 1 category but the problem i have is that there are no buttons to allow the users to post anywhere or add new replies
if you go to http://rmaa.wikidot.com/rmaa-wiki-forum you will see what i mean
cheers

this is from your site. there are NO categories
please re-read and follow
http://community.wikidot.com/howto:forum-step-by-step
so that it looks more like

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.
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)

I am having a bit of a problem…
when I post a new thread, it does not auto appear under the "Click here to visit our discussion forum. " button, but only under "recent posts". what am i doing wrong?
thanks.
And when you click on the link, it is blank…
go to this page :-
http://osagecollege.wikidot.com/forum/t-88825/test
now compare the history between the first and last revisions.
you will see something like…
[[module ForumThread]]
[!-- please do not alter this page if you want to keep your forum working --]
the last line is trying to tell you something! :-)))))
to resolve your issues, revert the page back to revision 1.
Thanks a lot. Your page is a good help. Not easy to find that page in Wikidot.
As usefull page, please, put it in a easy place to see it quick. Thanks :D
I went over all the pages in "list pages" all seem to be there with right code. My problem: when you click on a thread within a category it refers to one persons post, all the threads do this. I can see all the new post in "recent posts" but they dont show up in the thread.
Because your site is private i cant see anything, and my crystal ball has run out of crystals.
Balls or no balls, i reckon you have deleted something you shouldn't.
Check the pages again.
i wonder why this wiki page has only got a rating of three?
…but it's still not working properly. Do I have to delete all these pages and then re-create them?
nope!:if its not working properly then you have missed something. i would have a look but your site is private.
