the $compile_dir '/path/to/forum/cache/Smarty/compile' does not exist, or is not a directory*

The default theme works fine, but the embed theme draws this up when the site is visited??

forum/cache/Smarty/compile' does not exist

You must create a folder Called Smarty and another called compile that goes in the Smarty folder and put these in the cache folder.

david99

right, thanks, that did it.
Is there a way I can delete my post here?
There is person info in it

david99

I edited out the ID info out. Thanks again!

vrijvlinder

you can edit but it has a timer, none of the info you posted can be used for malicious purposes, you will find the same stuff posted several times here in other posts about the same issue.
