    I have a big problem - Google and others doesn't index my forum. Forum is online for six months. I don't know how to resolve it. Can anybody help me? Adress is http://www.sanzdrave.cz/forum (Wordpress pages and posts are indexed.) Thanks for replies!

  2. The reason for this is that you bbPress/forum pages are returning a header of 404 (Not Found) instead of 200 (OK).

    But the page is clearly there. You need this fix:

  3. Speaking of the 404's this is worryingly more common than should be with bbPress for some reason. I've found a few dozen installs like that during my top100 spidering (out of 3000 so it's a small number but still).

    I wonder if bbPress could detect if it's serving 404 response headers or if that happens outside of PHP so it's not possible to detect.

  4. I wish I understood more about why it actually happens on integrated installs. Is it when you include bbPress in WordPress, or the other way around?
