You are going to need a plugin header, something as simple as this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php /* Plugin Name: No 404s */ ?&gt;</code></pre> <p><a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forums-not-indexed-in-google#post-14901 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 18:25:50 +0000 icesar 14901@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Thanks for all the help so far guys. I think I know what the problem is now. Since the site is integrated with WP, I'm using the WP headers, which are responsible for throwing the 404 error even though the page generates fine.</p> <p>The relevant discussion on this forum <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-wordpress-mu-or-not-leads-to-404-errors-but-pages-still-load?replies=7#post-14899">is here</a>.</p> <p>I still haven't fixed the problem though.

Yes, I'm using 2.3.3 right now.

This is a way to point google at "/forums/" for a bbPress installation that falls under a wordpress main site.

It may not be valid. You can use <a href="http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/">Google Webmaster Tools</a> to submit and/or validate your google sitemap. I suggest you check it. </p> <p>You will also find that there is a newer version of the google sitemaps plugin available (3.0.3) than the current one you are using (2.7.1). 2.7.1 may not generate correct sitemap for a wordpress 2.3.2 site. Downloading the updated plugin from <a href="http://www.arnebrachhold.de/projects/wordpress-plugins/google-xml-sitemaps-generator/">the plugin's site</a> may help. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forums-not-indexed-in-google#post-13549 Fri, 01 Feb 2008 14:38:41 +0000 chrishajer 13549@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Do you have a sitemap that does not include the forums?

Other problems could be a restrictive robots.txt or a meta tag in the forum that restricts robots, but I didn't see either of those.</p> <p>I would add a sitemap for the forum and see if that helps. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forums-not-indexed-in-google#post-13536 Fri, 01 Feb 2008 13:16:03 +0000 icesar 13536@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hello, we integrated bbpress with our WP site at <a href="http://argentinastravel.com/forums/" rel="nofollow">http://argentinastravel.com/forums/</a> The site ranks great for all kinds of search terms and gets indexed by Google daily, but for some reason the /forums/ are all being ignored entirely.
