The site is helloecoliving.com (the clients host is very slow)

Thanks

Can you show me your website's URL?

While updating a website for a client they asked for buddpress to be removed as no one was using the social network side of the site, and a stand alone forum be put in place, hence bbpress.

I started off by removing the buddypress plugin and all it files, deleted the bb-config.php and dropped all the tables in the database with the prefix wp_bp.

I installed the latest bbpress plugin from within the wordpress admin and activated it, then created a few test forums and topics.

The forum displays fine when the default permalink structure is used however when I turn pretty permalinks on all the pages go to a 404 page not found.

I have tried adding Options +Multiview and Options -Multiview to the .htaccess. I have tried setting the bbpress mod_rewrite to true and false but still no luck.

I have also tried chmod 777 the .htaccess file.

Here is my .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# BEGIN ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .join-hello*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*helloecoliving.com.* [OR]

This is driving me crazy all my other custom post types work!

Any help is appreciated!

I deactivated all of my plugins by accident trying to hunt down a piece of code inside a custom plugin.

This caused my forum to disappear and continually 404, although everything was still there.

By changing my Permalinks and then changing them back to what they were originally this issue is fixed.

Good luck to anyone who reads this!

Settings > Permalinks > Save (Try just saving first, if that doesn't work, then change them, save them and then change them and save them again).

I installed bbPress on a test wordpress running 3.2.1 (or most current). Installed just fine and I proceeded to test it from a users perspective. I added a login and register links and pages, work just fine. However when I login or register, the function will login or create a user but the new URL causes a 404.

I'm using XAMPP on my personal machine and the directory of my wordpress install is

localhost/wep/wordpress

That works just fine as it should. However the URL that returns on successful login or registration displays as :

localhost/wep/wordpress/wep/wordpress/login/

which obviously throws a 404 as it's non existant.

I had a phpbb install in the wordpress folder before I installed bbPress and believe I might of changed the folder path on install. I tried deleting bbPress to reinstall but it just gives me an activate/deactivate/delete option.

I'm assuming there's somewhere in the plugin I can change that root folder pathing or whatever configuration is causing this error but I'm unsure of what and where.

Any help is appreciated.

I'm not really sure. The next thing I would do would be to activate TwentyEleven and disable all plugins except bbPress - that would at least let you know if the problem is with a theme/plugin being used.

Permalinks are changed, but still no user profiles.

I'm not really sure how to address that in the .htaccess file or how to get to it. Or what effects the permalink change will have globaly. I know i would have to change a lot of stuff.

Just for grins try setting your permalinks. Go to Settings > Permalinks and pick one of the structures, then save.

/theme/styles.css
/css/bbpress.css

I dont see anything about profile or user visabilty or any allow statment going on in there.

Do you know where this elusive theme edit is you speak of????

It may have to do with my no login with firefox and safari issue as well.

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/logout-error-when-bbpress-plugin-is-active

which suggested to comment out lines 938 and 939 of bbp-user-template.php.

Doing that makes the 404 go away. But now I'm being redirected to my S2member login welcome page... which I don't want. I want forum users who log in to be re-directed to the last forum page they were on. Seems like that's what bbpress is trying to do, it's just adding an extra subdomain in the forum url.

Sorry for the bump. Just thought I would add that info in case it helps.

See the following forum topic for details of the issue and the fix:

Turn on WP_DEBUG in yout wp-config.php (http://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG)

Change to TwentyTen/TwentlyEleven to eliminate any issues that are with your theme.

I don't have a post or page with "users" as the slug. Just to be sure I went into the forum settings and changed the 'User base' to something else ("userxyzwq" - definitely nothing else on the site called that!) and it still threw a 404. Changed it back, the same. Switched off the 'Forum Prefix' as someone suggested, and still the same.

Very frustrating as I spent a good while getting everything else working. And, as I say, even though the 404 status is being returned in the header, the page still appears in most browsers... which is confusing the hell out of me.

And sadly it's not something I can just live with, as "most browsers" isn't good enough for this project.

1. Disable ALL plugins except bbPress.
2. Go to Settings > Permalinks so a permalink flush is triggered.
3. Try going to a user profile.

You don't have a post or page with the slug users by chance, do you?

Anyone?

any solutions yet?

After installing BBpress I can’t log out of my WP without getting a failure.

My WP is in this location: http://jegerglad.dk/karmarkwp/

When I’m logging out using the BBPress widget or the WP META widget it is redi-recting met to: http://jegerglad.dk/karmarkwp/karmarkwp/

Any suggestions?

I do not have any other membership plugins installed. It happens for members created without spaces in their usernames (which was one suggestion), and it happens even if I switch off the "prefix forum area with forum base slug" and recreate the forum, as suggested here.

Does anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: one other point, and it's an odd one, even though the page shows a 404 error in the headers, it displays fine in Chrome and Opera. However, it does not initially display in Internet Explorer 9 and shows a browser 404 page, but it does show up after two refreshes (though not 1). Go figure.

not sure why this would matter, but made a huge difference
