    Direct category links problem when enabled

    I am running VB 3.87 with VBSEO 3.6 and I just enabled "Direct Category Links". It seems to have made the forums that are set as categories be direct links like it should, however my "Last Post" column, "Threads" column and "Posts" colum are now empty. They just have a dash in them. This happens to all forums/categories that I have sub-forums in.

    When I disable this feature again in VBSEO, all my statistics come back. Any ideas what I'm missing here or why this is happening?

    Can you verify this on default unedited vBulletin style ?

    Yes, this also happens with a brand new style I create with no parent. Also, those columns return with data in them when I turn off VBSEO.

    Have you altered the Guest only settings? There are features for this column removal.
    vbseocp.php#guests_only

    Those columns only go blank when I turn on Direct Category Links. Otherwise they show up fine.

    Direct category links should have no effect on that column at all.

    Have you tried re-uploading all files again just to make sure?

    All of the vbseo files? It has been running fine for months, I just decided to turn this on and now I have the issue. I can re-upload all the files again though if you want but I dont see it fixing the issue.

    Everything but the 'resources/' folder can be uploaded with doing nothing else just to make sure you have a fresh copy.

    Can you open a ticket with login details for further troubleshooting?

    This is actually related to your setup. Some subforums on your site are designed as Categories like West Coast so when you enable Direct Category links , those categories are loosing ability to act as forum there for no last post info is displayed.
