I think something is wrong, I need to link the forum to a blog and need it to be very simple. It will used for an educative program and it need to be quick and easy to see.

Please see the site and help me with ideas.

You have Groups defined in your forum, but no one category under these groups!

Only the automated created categories under group "hidden" - "deleted" - and - "per page discussions" are existent!

You have to go to the site manager and under forum settings

http://community.wikidot.com/howto:forum-step-by-step#toc5

You see in the 3. paragraph the "add a category" ?

AND: You have to SAVE it ( 2 times !!) -( most newbees make this mistake.. you are not alone..)

Second Hint:

If you need a quick link to a specific Forum Grioup & category you can insert in any page the link of the starting page of a category..
Like this one:

http://community.wikidot.com/forum/c-10/how-may-we-help-you

( You see the url of the categroy start page? ….wikidot.com/forum/c-…./category-name ?)

This page is created by the save of the "add a category" and the save of the group..

3. Hint:

Be yourself clear about the forums permissions - this can be complete different to the site permissions
( perhaps a" guestbook category" is complete free for anonymous…) ..

Hope this help?

Hi Helmut, thanks for your help.
I am quite lost because I deleted almost everything on the side bar so as to have the forum only.

Perhpas I will delete the existing forum and start again.

I will see how I can restore all the other elements to start again
Thanks
Mayte

Hi, this is eaasy to restore:

enter the "side bar" page name ( nav:side) ( from time when you started your site) on the url…

and than have a look on the revisions in the history.

Could be you find out when was the last moment with all needed links…
(if you do not want to have "internal" links for some visitors on your sidebar - than copy the sidebar ( the wanted revisions) to an "internals" page
- a name only know by you. It is hard for non wikidot-gurus to find such a page…

And you can always enter this name on the url ( or have a favorite) to have a link-list of your internals…
