Well, I thought it was going too well. Spend a few days on the forum, running the latest version and when it came to the last thing, hit a problem.
Trying to change node permissions I get the Oops something went wrong. Turned off all add-ons, reverted to default theme, but when I try and change node permission from inherit to allow only certain groups to view it throws a problem. Tried on Categories and Forums and all user groups, same issue.
I'm sure or hoping, it's something daft but for the life of me can't figure it out.
Any help is appreciated.

moreduffWe can understand better if you show what kind of problems occur with a picture.

Sorry, posted pic and forgot to add text.
I get this no matter what node or user group I try to change. Unfortunately I’m a noob to Xenforo so still trying to find my way around. So far only issue I’ve come across I can’t resolve.

The only remaining php version or hosting xenforo may be incompatible

What does your server error log says?
Also the log file of xenforo itself

It can be your permissions.. make sure

The next folders are 775 at least

Data
Internal Data
Js
Styles
src/addons

Otherwise I would recommend you to check the server apache log, or renew your SSL certificate.

I’ve checked all the above and still having the issue. I’ve decided to clear and to start a fresh install, 1st thing I’ll check is the permissions.
thanks to all the suggestions and advice, I really appreciate it.
Luckily site isn’t live yet and apart from some customisation, not a huge deal.
Thanks again.

Sorted it. Did a fresh install and got same issue, but managed to find server logs saying issue was Modsecurity, as mentioned above, changed .htaccess but no issue, had to go into the firewall settings for the domain on the server and turn off. Working ok now.
Back to square one, but no big issue yet...
Again really appreciate the advice given.
