Huge bbpress problem! Bad wordpress integration!
-
So my bbpress is broken, and I don't know how to fix it.
I built my site with wordpress in a sub directory. I integrated my bbpress with my wordpress and it worked great!
Then I decided that I wanted my URL to look like its own domain, instead of a subdomain. My wordpress went from being
brandonmdennis.com/oxhorn
to
oxhorn.com
I saved my pagelinks and presto, everything is snazzy. I went to check my forum, however, and it was broken. My forum was missing, but I still saw the admin section. So no sweat, I logged into the dashboard and proceeded to change the URL in settings from
brandonmdennis.com/oxhorn/forum
to
oxhorn.com/forum
Thinking that this would solve the issue. I clicked update, and got to an "oops! page not found" screen. But now I can't even log into my bbpress install dashboard. Everything I do now sends me to an "oops" error page.
I tried uninstalling bbpress by removing the folder and removing the wordpress bbpress integration plugin. I tried doing a new, clean installation of bbpress, but when I get to step two I see the message "Woops! Looks like you already have bbpress installed" and it wont let me go further. I even tried installing it in a different subdirectory and got the same problem. My questions are:
1) How do I re-install bbpress?
2) Is there some code I need to remove from my wordpress installation?
3) How do I re-integrate my bbpress with wordpress so that they share the same database? I had it working splendidly until I changed my WordPress domain name.WordPress site:
oxhorn.comBbpress installation:

Your problem is the bbpress database tables. you can directly change the bb_optionmeta table to show the changes to the new location. That should fix it. Also delete your .htaccess fiel.
