What it is doing is, when a new user registers, it sets them automatically to banned from creating a blog. They actually are not being banned simply from trying to create one. The are just bug victims.
To solve this, run this query in phpmyadmin
- Code: Select all
ALTER TABLE `phpbb_users` CHANGE `user_allowweblog` `user_allowadvweblog` TINYINT( 1 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '1'
That should fix the problem. There is another fix to take care of current users that are banned that wish to create a blog. Run this query in phpmyadmin and if there are any users currently banned, it will unban them and put every user you have back on the good foot.
- Code: Select all
UPDATE `phpbb_users` SET `user_allowweblog` = '1' WHERE `user_allowweblog` = '0'
