I'm using the latest build of CB for my choir site and would like to create the possibility for users to write blogs.
But when I press "Make blog" (to publish the blog I've written) I get "Blog failed to validate! Error: Category not allowed!". I get the message also when logged in as super user.
So I'm trying to figure out which steps I have to think thru in order to get this to work.
I'm using:
- Latest Joomla
- Helix Ultimate Framework
- The members of the choir have their own group (members) who are part of Joomla's main group (public).
I can create articles with use of the "Joomla - Make new article method" (menu item). But article creation with CB Blogs gives this error.

No categories are available to store the blogs into. If using the Joomla model you need to select a top level category within CB Blogs > Parameters > Blogs in the "Category" parameter. If using the Internal model ensure you've supplied a comma list of categories for the "Categories" parameter at the same location.

It indeed seems very simple to configure. The category I assigned is a top level one. I tried it with a different top level category, but still the same error:
"Failed to create blog. Error: Category not permitted". I think this has someting to do with ACL?
Are there categories within your top level category? Example as follows on how to configure your categories.
Blogs
- General
- Movies
- Sports
- Games
You'd select Blogs as your top level category.

I'm making use of one Joomla top category, without any sub-categories.
On my site I have created a usergroup named "Members". Could that be the cause for this access permission error?
Although, when I log in as a "super user", I'm not able to create a blog either with use of CB Blogs.
I'm realy wondering in what direction to look.
By the way, just installed the latest build of CB today, problem remains.
Sub categories are required. See my above category structure for an example of how your categories should be setup.
