Categories Not Opening

Yinyamina

I'm having a problem at whiteguardianstudios.com/forum where I'm trying to open a category and it's just switching the words at the top. It's supposed to take me to the topics in that category right?

I'm new to vanilla coming from mybb. I've solved a few other problems on my own, but I can't figure out what's wrong here. It was installed through softaculous.

when you set up categories.
edit category.

make sure i DisplayAs is set to default.

if that doesn't solve it, create a new category and delete the old category and when it asks where do you want to move the discussions to, move it to the new category.

I have no idea what vanilla version you are using, do you?

Ooh Such a simple solution. Can't believe I overlooked that. Thank you this problem is fixed!

I think on-page documentation really need an explanation for DisPlayAs, because it is not intuitive at all.

No, I had them all set to category Wasn't sure what default did so I didn't use it. Turned out to be the correct thing to use.

exactly - on-page documentation - needed to explain
