I am running bbpress 2.0.

If I go to the following it loads OK:

/myforum/users/admin

If I go to any other user profile I receive a 404 error:

/myforum/users/user_name

The page still shows the profile though returns a 404 header.

Any ideas?

Whats the URL to your bbpress site? Is your htaccess file writable? Have you tried adding a trailing / to your profile url?

Same problem, did you ever discover a solution?

Ok, this is definitely NOT the most elegant solution, but I contrived a crude fix to the problem. Since the false 404 flagging was happening only on user profile pages, I added the following to my single_user.php template just before the header.

global $wp_query;
$wp_query -> is_404 = false;
get_header(); // Loads the header.php template. ?>

Basically I’m just forcing the profile page to not be 404. I may try to work out a better solution, but for the time being, this appears to work.

EDIT: looks like the code snippet is having trouble displaying a greater than sign, anywhere you see > above, it should be a greater than sign (>).
