  1. check out main site: www.miamiastrology.com
    and then the forum portion was just installed at www.miamiastrology.com/forum

    when you click on a forum, it takes you back up to the main wp site with a 404 error.

    I've checked my config and it's correct as far as I can tell....??

  2. post up what you have in your config file (take out the password and stuff)

  3. Actually, you have your name being /forum/ and then when it goes to the forum, it is ironically named forum as well. Hense, the:

    www.miamiastrology.com/forum/forum/1

    If your forum was called discussions it would come up as:

    www.miamiastrology.com/discussions/forum/1

    Problem for the 404 error seems to me to be because something is wrong with your fancy permalinks. I would check out the following link and make sure everything is according to the docs:

    http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks

    If you still can't get it working, then maybe turn off the permalinks in the config.php file to make sure it is the permalinks that are causing the problem.

  4. Thanks; I turned off (set to false) the perma links...not sure why they would cause that...but it seems to be working okay now...does it seem alright on your end?

  5. Yeah it is working Ron! Now you can play with the permalinks if you want. Just need to work at it if it is important to you, but right now, it is working fine.

  6. Thanks again-
    I know I had problems with permalinks in WP and had to hardcode some setting to make them work....
    anyway, I appreciate your help!

  7. If you navigate to /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php and that might help.
