What are your front page settings? Are you saying you can't get them to display on the front page? You said "including the frontpage", so that doesn't make much sense to me.

What are your front page settings? Are you saying you can't get them to display on the front page? You said "including the frontpage", so that doesn't make much sense to me.

Front page settings are set to display articles:



Yes I cannot get an article to display on the front page or the ones I usually can access by a internal link in the forums. I have tried creating new ones changing various settings and they just will not show up.

The articles are still there as shown here:



The front page displays this where the articles normally display:



If you click on an internal link to an article you get this:



Settings are activated and toggled on in the category area and I do not have any theme selected in "use only this theme":



I have worked through all the other small settings and display issues on blocks and such but cannot get the articles to display. I have 6 or 7 front page articles and 6 internal like links to forum FAQ's and such. It seems like I am missing something that initiates or enables them to show but I dont know where to look?

I remember having an issue along the same lines. First, make sure the article is assigned to a category. Then make sure it is approved and enabled. You might also have to but it in a frontpage block.

Thank you for your reply but I already tried the block with a new article and I have had categories from the beginning and yes they are approved and enabled. I wish it were that simple it would for sure make my day. With the new look it would be easy to over look something like that so I focused in those settings initially. I did however go back and double check just to make sure. . .

When you post a link you need to make sure it's a link to your forum so we can see the problem. Does anything change if you change your front page options? Like Forum posts and Articles? Or Selected Articles?

Either you're upgrade didn't fully happen, or you have some setting some where causing this. I don't have any problems getting articles to display on the front page in SMF1.1.xx

OK so in a perfect world if I manually parse the whole upgrade things should display as they use to. I will post back up with the results of that endeavor, thanks for your response its much appreciated. . .

Please excuse the double post:

After reviewing and correcting all of the article and settings I now can view everything all articles in the default core theme. In helios which is my forum main theme I still cannot view any articles. I searched these forums and even reinstalled the theme but I get the same results? I am using helios_multi11final this may be an obvious fix but I have tried everything that I know and could find. If some one could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. . .

Here is the forums link Ichbin:

It goes directly to the front page where the articles are not showing. Everything works like a champ in the default core theme but all the members like the helios theme that we have had for about 2 years now. I figured I would ask first before trying the TP upgrade again dont know if it would solve this issue and I am afraid something else will stop working lol!

Under Configuration, in Themes and Layout, could you select "Allow members to select their own themes." and "Allow members to select the "Default" theme." so that we can look at your site with the SMF default theme.  I'm not sure what it is we are supposed to see.  Maybe that will show us.  Also, this theme you are using.  I know it's one of Bloc's themes.  Were you using the theme with your Forum when you had TinyPortal version 0.938 installed?  Could you check "Current Theme" under Configuration and see if there is a selection for TinyPortal support?  If there is, can you unselect that and save that page and see what happens.

Yeah I have gone through those settings a million times and I am starting to think this is going to be something really simple that I over looked. I am most of the time savvy to these kind of issues and search and try relentless amount of trouble shooting prior to posting.  I do not see a TP support check box that I can un-select sorry. I have changed the front page "what to display" back and forth, the articles number and different article display settings to see if it would kick in but no go. I have all the articles in categories and the category setting including what users can see them, the little toggle on icons work but they just dont enable the article to display. Is there a certain .php file in themes that have TP articles settings that may need an edit to enable the articles to show? Is it possible that a TP theme file did not get updated during the install?
