Catagories
Despite being admin for a forum I'm unable to alter, add and delete categories. It's not showing for me in the menu bar as per the help video.
Does anyone know why? / a way around this?
Thanks.

Please try adding
$Configuration['Vanilla']['Categories']['Themes']['Use'] = true;to your config.phpSorry to be a super n00b... how would I do that?
Choose any editor you like and change the file
/conf/config.php. Add the line mentioned above at the end of that file.Best thing would be to edit it directly on your server (notepad++ is a nice tool for something like that). You could also download it via FTP, change the file and re-upload it.
I found the wordpress config file and added it to that but nothing. Is there another file I should be looking for?
wrong folder and wrong app.
Is there another file I should be looking for?
yes the vanilla forum conf folder contains config.php

Pragmatism is all I have to offer. Avoiding the sidelines and providing centerline pro-tips.
If anyone wants to take the trouble to let me know what is missing, I will happily add it to the ToC.
