    My apologies if this appears twice - I thought I had posted this a few days ago, and yet it doesn’t seem to have gone through.

    I recently worked on a client project that required a forum (Discussion Forum 3.1.6). The client has now decided that he no longer wishes to have the forum. So I went to the module control panel, hit uninstall, should be that simple, right? Apparently not. When I uninstall the forum, I get this error in the publish forms:

    I realized that there were forum tabs still present in the publish forms, so I reinstalled the module (thankfully, I hadn’t deleted it), got rid of the forum tabs in the publish forms, and then re-uninstalled the module.

    No such luck. The error still occurs despite the publish forms no longer calling anything from the forum module.

    I’m sure this must be something so small and simple, but I can’t seem to see the forest as I’m standing among the trees. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I can confirm I’m having the exact same issue. I’m receiving php errors on the publish page after removing the forum module.

    Latest build of EE and it was originally the latest build of the forum.

    Thanks,
    John

    I can also confirm this. I’m having the exact same issue on a site.

    This makes the entire channel now un-publishable. Needs to be addressed ASAP.

    Thank you

    Btw. Shouldn’t this be moved to official support? Since it’s an ExpressionEngine offical module?

    I’ve solved this issue. The problem is that when removing the Forum Module the layout_publish table in the database isn’t updated. So when accessing your Publish page it’s trying to look for fields that isn’t there.

    So if you go into your channel, click “Remove layout” and refresh the page the publish_layout table is refreshed and problem is solved. 😊

    No such luck here. Even removing the layout, it only seems to get rid of the forum items in the layout temporarily. When I uninstall the forum, they somehow come back with the same errors as before.

    Why not uninstall the forum, then remove the layout? Then I don’t think they’ll come back… no?
