Everything else seems to be working as normal but stories and reviews aren't being displayed on the pages that they should be showing up on.
The link to our client's site is http://slashedtodeth.com
No errors are being displayed.
The settings for the site look fine and debug has been turned on.
Nothing in the script has been modified...it was a vanilla upgrade following all the instructions and then the client applied a custom theme when the upgrade was complete. I verified before that no stories were showing up with the default theme after the upgrade was complete either.
Let me know if you have any insight or suggestions. Thanks!
Are the stories stored in a stories folder or is it on the database?
If it's the story folder you might have to change the chmod from 777 to 755. Or ask your webhost if they've changed permissions.

Thank you for replying. NEXCS-Greg helped me with the upgrade to my archive. I tried changing permission to 777 to 755 but the stories still don't show. I did do a post some time ago about upgrading https://efiction.org/forums/index.php?topic=4539.0
Carissa mentioned she did a test upgrade on 1.1 and the following happended: I did on a testing site. It seems to have worked, it didn't rename the authors folders to numbers. I'm not sure if it was a bug, or intentional...
Could this be the problem?

Update, this isn't the problem either. Actually...nothing seems to be sticking as well. I tried to update the HELP page, and RULES page but it wouldn't update.
So your problems are that your story text is not showing up and you can't update your custompages?
For the stories, make sure that if you are storing stories in files, that your settings have it listed as such. Go to: admin>settings>submission settings. It should say stories are stored in files in the stories folder (since you upgraded from 1.1). The folder should be a relative path, just "stories".
For the custom pages, make sure you are editing the right ones. You actually have to go through the admin interface now. Those are stored in your database and not in template files anymore. Go to Admin>custom pages to edit them.

I tried Files and MySQL and neither of them show the stories on the viewstory page. Any other suggestions?
Well, no one has ever answered the questions of where you are storing stories. Please let us know if you want help. Do you have a stories folder? Is there anything in it? From what I can tell, there is nothing it it, but do let us know for sure.
Also, we'll probably need a testing account since all of the stories require registration to be able to view. Set that up, and let us know.

There are txt files in the author folders within the stories folder, yes. There is also story data in the database. I've tried changing the story settings to files and mysql and neither of them show the story data. It's set to Files right now and has been since the upgrade.
Let me know what access you need, I can get you any info you require.
Are the authors folders named with the authors name or userid. It needs to be userid, else it won't work. 99% of the time, if stories are stored in folders, then it's a permissions problem. Make sure the stories folder is CHMODed to 777, the author folders to 755, and the files to 644.
Also, again, please make sure you have the correct path to the stories folder under files in the settings. Mine just says stories and that's worked on all the servers I've ever used.
Just moved all the authors folders to their uid....this should be mentioned in the upgrade instructions somewhere cause it's definitely not.
stories folder is 777, files are 644, uid folders are 777, path is "stories" in the admin panel. Still nothing.
Hmm..not sure which step did it. Looks like the stories are showing up now. Thanks for the help!
