Run this query:

PHP Code:

DELETE FROM settinggroup WHERE title = 'Licensed Users Options'; 


Then run this query:

PHP Code:

INSERT INTO settinggroup (settinggroupid,title,displayorder) VALUES (62,'Licensed Users Options','62');

First post and entry in DB edited. Attachment in first post edited. vBulletin main options will work now. Those of you who have that problem where the options don't show in the vB Options page, do the steps I posted in post #51 in this thread.

1.01 Released.

N9ne i found another problem...

the title didnot show up in postbit template......

i checked the variable and its fine.......

do u think maybe i forgot turn some options on so it not appear?

[N9ne]

Go to your vBulletin Options page in the AdminCP, and make sure you've set a title for unlicensed and licensed users, then hit submit...hopefully that works.

Did you apply changes to functions.php and edit the postbit template correctly? Go over those steps again from the instructions.

yes i already checked.....the file and template all correctly....

but it still cant show up.....

[N9ne]

Have you made sure that the usergroup you are in can view licensed status? Can you see the licensed status in a member's profile (getinfo) ?
