John,
I’ve successfully restored the working version of the basic site at http://www.lamarzoccousa.com and followed the instructions for moving a wordpress install (which I’ve done a number of times before successfully), but though the appearance of http://www.lamarzoccousa.com/forums looks like it should initially, it presents a 404 error when trying to view any of the forums or users.
This is over my head, as I’ve been trying to solve this original issue for the last few days. Do you have any advice?
I’ll keep working on it on my end. Thanks for the advice. The client will be happy to have both a working blog and working forums in the end as well as better control as to who can access each, due to the separate install. I’ll post back here when it’s all up and working.
I tried updating all of the permalinks, but other things began going wrong. I’m going to attempt a separate install just for the forums on a subdomain of the main site.
