Match your Forums base name and try that.

Also went to WP Admin > Settings > Permalinks and hit Save.

For some strange reason only subforums are behaving badly.

http://www.domain.com/forum/f/forum-name/subforum-name returns 404.

I tried monkeyman's rewrite analyzer and have been told that the rewrite rule is working; something else is in the way.

I tried putting print(debug_backtrace()); after function set_404() { in wp-includes/query.php but did not get any intelligible debug information...all that happens is: a single word Array gets prefixed to the top of the 404 page.

I have also discovered that in the database, in the table wp_posts the value stored in column guid for these subforums is http://www.domain.com/forum/f/subforum-name i.e. without the parent forum's slug.

If I try to visit http://www.domain.com/forum/f/subforum-name then I do get to the subforum page. Funnily enough, the breadcrumbs on that page depict the correct path including the parent forum.

Curiously, when I create a new subforum, the guid field for it is http://www.domain.com/?post_type=forum&#XXX;p=YYYY If I try to follow that URL, I end up at forums base.

I should point out that this messed up parent-child relationship is only occuring for bbPress...I have many hierarchical pages in WP, and they all seem fine.

Clicking on a subforum (or typing in the URL) redirects me to the site's homepage. I suspect this is because somehow WP decides it hasn't found a page for that URL. Not sure what to do...I have installed bbPress in other sites previously but haven;t had this problem.

Please, can someone help?

I have a problem with adding posts. Totally strange things have happened. For example, when I was on the front page of forum, topics links are fine, when I click on some of them, it takes me to a page with listed posts, but when I want to make a new post, the part of url disappeared. To be clear, when I press the submit button, bb-post.php redirects me to a nonexistent page and the url looks like this http ://example.com/ /name_of_topic and it should look like this http ://example.com/forum/name_of_forum/name_of_topic. Something removes part of url, but i have no clue what it can be. I look through functions, and i'm lost.
Please help.

We – http://www.onemorething.nl – are integrating our forum – http://www.onemorething.nl/community – with an external search engine, that builds an index directly from our database. We run into a problem if we want to link directly to a post on page x that have been retrieved by the search engine. We can only link to the first page from a topic.

Is there a method stored in de bbpress-code that we can use to construct the proper paged url?

sample from a huge topic on our forum:

http://www.onemorething.nl/community/topic/mijn-ontdekkingen-van-vandaag/page/3148#post-2361033
What we want to retrieve/create: /page/3148

Our recent-post list does something familiar, but how?
We are running BBpress version 1.0.2

Thanks for your comment.

Yes, It does have an effect to be one category deeper (at least according to Matt Cutts from Google).

So, yes please, I want to generate the URL's without any additional sub-category... and Yes, I would not mind if i had something like ../forums/general generated.

Would be great if you could tell me how to take this extra subdirectory layer off in bbpress ?

If you have a "General" forum, i.e. at /forums/general , wouldn't you rather avoid the confusion if a user starts a thread called "general"? I actually don't know what would happen in this scenario...

I have been able to recover and get back into admin by inserting (in bb-config.php)

$bb->uri = 'http://website.com/';

However, now the url in general-settings can't be changed (it shows a lock), presumably because of the hard override in bb-config.php.

I seem to be stuck in a catch-22. If I remove the override, I can't change the admin/general-settings. If I don't have the override, I can't access the admin/general-settings.

Any ideas?

Can I change the url directly? I presume admin/general-settings writes the configuration to a file somewhere? Can I edit that manually instead?

Thanks again for your help.

I am fairly familiar with transferring files, but I guess this is beyond me. I looked over the install instructions again I couldn't find anything relating to this.

I think I'll just leave the URL as domain.com/bbpress. This isn't for a business so no one will care what it says!

I may try the name change again before I make the board public! Why not make it even more complicated for myself? :-)

Once you have installed bbPress for the first time it creates several SQL tables.

"And if I unzip the file do I need to zip it again?"
No. A zip file is just a container of files.

"Because when I try to upload the folder it will only let me upload by the file."
I don't understand.

"Even if I uploaded and deleted, does bbpress think it's still on my blog and do I need to use the second install method?"
If you have installed bbPress and you have deleted the folder bbPress is gone. Only the SQL tables remain. If need to erase them with phpmyadmin.

Maybe you should hire someone to do the work for you. bbPress is very simple to install but it requires some basic understanding of file handling and FTP.
