I would be very happy about help on this topic, the “old” forum does not work if I enable SSL encryption for the page. And since SSL is standard, the concern is very important to me.
have you done
dashboard>settings>permalink and click save – this resets the links and often fixes issues like this
Thx Robin, yes i tried this a few times. Still gettin those 404’s.
It will be just a trifle, I hope I’ll find it soon. Do you have another idea?
I’ve also checked the htaccess and could not find anything regarding *forum*…
All the best
Daniel
sorry, can’t think of any other generic idea
Now I’ve reinstalled the forum, searched the database and the file server and still no indication why it remains at 404.
This works great…

But yes – that’s just the overview, as soon as I want in a forum or subforum, there is the 404er.
Like this…

When i want to reset permalinks, do i habe to change it and save or just save it?
I am questioning because i found this.
“I would try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure
and save again.”
Is this part of the htaccess file …
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
… synonymous with the activated Apache mod_rewrite module?
Or do I still have to activate the module although this is configured in my htacces file?
I have hope again that I find out what it is 🙂 I am looking forward to your answers.
All the best

Hey folks,
I am losing my mind on this one…
Today I rechecked all settings and also tried the troubleshooting mode in WordPress,
to make sure that its no Plugin conflict.
Scrolled through forums, websites, blogs several hours.
can only suggest
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
Thx Robin, I am a step further, I was not aware that disable plugins and the “Troubleshoot Mode” are different tools and in the “Troubleshoot Mode” the plugins are not really disabled.
Thank you! Let’s see if I can find the plugin.
I am so close to get this fixed :D…
Its the Plugin “Rewrite” and one of those rules must be the cause…
I habe no Idea what i should do next.
If I disable the plugin, there is almost nothing left on the website,
so it seems to be a very central plugin.

Thx alot for your input.

This is a 5 year old plugin, which I have never come across before, and only 2000 out of 19.5 million wordpress websites use this plugin.
Can you explain why you installed it in the first place, as that may help undetstand how to get around needing it.
I have no idea why this plugin was used back then, do you know a good alternative?
Thanks for staying with me Robin!
my point is that you should not need it at all.
maybe talk to your host provider about your site setup
Yes, I would be happy to turn off another plugin.
If I turn it off right now, then the forum will work, but then I’ll have 404s in other important areas instead.
The former admin unfortunately only has time in 6-7 weeks.
I think that the hoster can not help me, because he does not care about the software.
which hoster are you with ?
which hoster are you with ?
Its a German Hoster Hoster.

ok, don’t know that one.
Try turning the plug off and then do the permalink fix we tried earlier in this thread
dashboard>settings>permalink and click save
Good idea, but yes i tried this many times. Did not solve the 404s.
Have a nice weekend Robin, and still thx alot for staying with me.
All the best
Daniel
