Solved "There are no topics to display" caused by sh404SEF

Hi,

On one of my websites I have been running Kunena but since 2-3 weeks suddenly it's impossible to create new forum topics. Browsing and reading is no problem, but once I create a new topic or try to reply I end up at the main Kunena screen and it says "There are no topics to display".

I'm not sure where to start looking, there are no errors displayed at all. In the attachment is a screenshot of what I see once I try to create a new topic or reply.

Looking forward to your reply.

The reason that "there are no topics to display" is because the most recent topic in your forum was last updated more than one month ago and the Recent Topics view, by default, only shows topics that were updated in the past month. If you change the date you will see your topics.

You might also try these other suggestions:

1. If you are having problems using K 3.0.2 with sh404SEF, I suggest that you read To what extent does sh404SEF support Kunena?


2. If you are having problems using a K 3.0.2 using the Blue Eagle template was designed for K 1.7.2, I suggest try the Blue Eagle template designed for K 3.0.2


3. The add-ons JomSocial - My Kunena Forum Menu 2.0.3, JomSocial - My Kunena Forum Posts 2.0.3, JomSocial - Kunena Groups 2.0.3 are out-of-date and no longer maintained by the Kunena project. Please contact JomSocial if you want help with those things and read To what extent does K 3.0 support Jomsocial

I hope this helps.

I managed to fix this by changing the SH404SEF settings for Kunena:

1. Configuration
2. By component:
3. Kunena:
4. 1st dropbox: "Use default handler"
5. 4th dropbox: "Use Joomla! router.php"

Just in case I also changed the template to the 3.0.2 version. Maybe this is useful for others to know!

Thanks Rene, that's actually what the developer from sh404SEF said to me.
