How would I go about going back to TP 1.0.5?

Elen

I've been digging around.  All the articles are still there.  If I make the missing category a non-child category it then shows up and I can see the articles there.  I've tried setting the theme back to the default, just in case that had a bearing  but whatever the theme, the actual content of the article doesn't show up. (This is when trying to view them as a user, not edit them in the Admin screen)

In your admin screen for one of the articles check the 'Status' to make sure that it is set to 'Article is active'

All the articles have the green button lit.  I can see all the articles as long as the category isn't a child category - setting it to be a sub-category seriously buggers things up - clicking on the parent category produces the error posted above.

I've attached a screen shot.  Can I just ask what the boxes down the LH-side with 0 in are?

I seem to have fixed it.  I found the answer here http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php/topic,27217.0.html

QuoteIf you have frontpage blocks turned on, turn them off and the articles should show.

I couldn't find a frontpage setting relating specifically to blocks but selected :

What to display on frontpage: Only articles

and now my articles show up!

Good on you for using the search Elen! :up: The last couple of beta's have had some big bugs that got by. Hoping to see TP beta3 out soon fixing most of these.

Well, if it's not on there already, you can add article sub-categories to the list :)  I'm just relieved to have it working.  I hate the skinking feeling I get when everything's fubar and I have no idea what's even gone wrong, never mind how to fix it.  As always, the answer is usually here somewhere :D

On that problem with articles in child categories not showing, I believe that is a reported bug, but I can't place my fingers on it right now.  If I remember correctly, it had something to do with the fact that if you didn't have an article in a main category, but only had child categories under that main category, then the articles in the child categories wouldn't show.  The temporary fix was to put an article in the main category as well.

Again, I may be slightly wrong on this because I can't find the bug right now, but you might try this to see if that works.

I think that must be wrong as I did have an article in the parent category.  It's no big deal anyway, I can get things working acceptably without using sub-categories.
