If you need help in any way, shape, or form. Please use the following advice.

1. Read all the articles in the Frequently Asked Questions section
2. Read our tutorials.
3. Have documentation? Read it. Start with the installation pdf and the readme files (included in the CB distribution package), continue with the detailed CB documentation (if you are an Advanced, Professional or Developer member).
4. Search forum for the solution.

None of the above resolve your issue?

Some general guidlines you can check are:

5. Is your webhost using PHP 5.2.4 or better?
   Community Builder will not work on PHP 4.
6. Is CB and Joomla up to date?
   We cannot debug or address issues in older versions as they may have been resolved already.
7. Is your CB default template enabled in plugin management?
8. Does using default Joomla template resolve your issue?
   If yes, then issue is with your specific template and needs to be addressed by your template provider.
9. Have you disabled CB plugins 1 by 1 to check is issue resolved?
   Sometimes issues are caused by extra (non CB Team) installed CB plugins. Please disable these and see if issue is resolved.
