WPMU + 404 error

    • Posted 4 years ago #

    Hey all,

    Trying to get bbpress and WPMU to work together. Using a subdomain install of WPMU. I can view the front page of my bbpress install just fine, but if I click any topic, I get a 404 showing in my wordpress theme.

    Is this something I have to fix in the .htaccess?

    Never mind. I was over-complicating things.. it had nothing to do with WPMU. I hadn't set the .htaccess file for bbpress up yet.

    Hi ! I have the same problem !
    What did you put in your .htaccess please ?
    Thx a lot !!

    my rewrite rules for the document root where wordpressmu is installed are (note, my bbpress is installed in the /discuss directory):

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    #uploaded files
    RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
    RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file= [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/discuss(.*)$
    RewriteRule . - [L]
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) [L]
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ [L]
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]

    then, in my bbpress directory, i put in my .htaccess:


    Options +MultiViews

    if the +MultiViews thing doesn't work for you, there's something else you can put in there (only needed if you want to use the pretty-permalinks). Described here:
