Re: Navigation
I had this *exact* same problem, so I’m surprised to hear the plugin didn’t fix it!
After you activated the plugin, did you get a chance to make the following changes from the installation guide?
* ‘If you’d like to add pagination (page numbers) on the front page, simply add to your front-page.php template <div class=”nav”><?php front_page_pages(); ?></div> AFTER <?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?> </table>’
* ‘If you use rewrite slugs you MUST add the following rule to your .htaccess file RewriteRule ^page/([0-9]+)/?$ /forums/?page=$1 [L,QSA] anywhere before </IfModule> where /forums/ is the path to your bbpress install.’
