I didn’t have time to work on the site for a while, and I’ve been working on it again now. Today I discovered the problem and the solution.

For some reason, new posts wouldn’t appear when the forum was on a page named “forum.” But when I named the page anything else, including “forum2,” new posts appeared. So, I’ve given the page a completely different name, and the forum is now working.

These forum tables are in the database:

wp_forum_forums
wp_forum_posts
wp_forum_reactions
wp_forum_reports
wp_forum_topics

wp_forum_posts, wp_forum_reactions, wp_forum_reports, and wp_forum_topics have columns and indexes but nothing that I added that I can see.

wp_forum_forums contains the forums I added.

I can’t think of any changes I’ve made that could affect it. I’ve just made changes to the theme CSS.

Thanks for your reply. The first post had bolding and bullets but no emojis. After that, all the posts were “test 9” or something like that and no more. So, emojis didn’t cause the problem, but that’s good to know for future reference.

Is there anything else to check?

Thanks for your reply. I had “Include event categories in post category lists” enabled, but as you’ve seen, the categories don’t appear in the subscribe options for Subscribe2. I’ve tried different subscription plugins, but Subscribe2 is the only one I found that lets users choose the categories to subscribe to.

This calendar is for a non-profit group (you can see the calendar here), so funding is limited. If the quote will be for a small amount, I’ll suggest it to others to see what they think. If it’s a big project, we’ll have to go with Plan B, which is to post non-recurring events in both the calendar and in regular blog posts.

You can reach me directly by choosing the “Website” option on the site contact form.

Thanks!
