Subforum doesn't show up in Forum Sections in the ACP

· 7 months ago · 4 replies · 463

I just came across this issue. I had created a subforum at some point called "Chat Clients" in my ACP, and it shows up on the index. However I can't seem to find the subforum listed in the "Forum Sections" in the ACP. I'm wanting to make this a category rather than a subforum. Here are a few screenshots showing the issue.

I’ve just logged off for the day, I’ll have a look asap tomorrow.

If a forum contains subforums, it turns into a link in the section manager in the ACP. If you click the main forum ('Alternative Platforms'), you should find your subforum there. Click on the subforum, change the location (the empty location will turn it into a category, and selecting a category will make it a forum on the index of your forum board) and save the forum settings. :)

Mace saves the day! I couldn’t explain it without having a look. So thanks!

Thank you for your response! Funny enough I didn't really do anything to the permissions when I logged back into my forum after making this thread, maybe I subconsciously clicked on the main forum in the ACP and was able to see it. Anyways this has been resolved!
