Because I like to be difficult, I have my WordPress installed at ~/siliconholler.com/blog/ and mapped to http://blog.siliconholler.com/. My bbpress installation is in directory ~/siliconholler.com/forum/ and mapped to http://forum.siliconholler.com/

It mostly works. When I try to look at the default topic http://forum.siliconholler.com/topic/1?replies=1 I get a 404. If I try to view a profile http://forum.siliconholler.com/profile/1 I also get a 404.

.htaccess currently has Options +MultiViews and I have also tried the code generated by /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php

My config.php reads:

// ** MySQL settings ** //

…

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’;

$bb->domain = ‘http://forum.siliconholler.com’;

$bb->path = ‘/’;

$bb->name = ‘Reality Me Discussions’;

$bb->admin_email = ‘validemailaddyhere’;

$bb->mod_rewrite = true;

$bb->page_topics = 30;

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

$bb->gmt_offset = -5;

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

$bb->akismet_key = ‘properkeyhere’;

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://blog.siliconholler.com’;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://blog.siliconholler.com’;

/* Stop editing */

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

Any suggestions?

I’ve got the same problem. I originally was trying to integrate with wp to my directory structure is http://www.chapelhillteam.org/blog/forums.

I get a 404 with

“The requested URL /blog/forums/topic/2?replies=1 does not exist.”

Get the same thing on profiles.

Hi guys. I seem to be getting the same thing as well.

Got through the installation all right. Very basic installation. Nothing fancy with subdomains, just straight directory installation to http://brettcrhodes.com/bbPress

Can log in as “admin” all right.

Can’t view “admin” user profile which is supposed to be here: http://brettcrhodes.com/bbPress/profile/1

The /profile/1 directory and file doesn’t exist.

Can’t view topic at: http://brettcrhodes.com/bbPress/topic/1

The /topic/1 directory and file don’t exit.

Can add forums and topics but can view them as subdirectories don’t seem to be getting created.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks.

You know I took another look at making pretty permanent links and did that again with the .htaccess and all and I’m not getting the “The requested URL /blog/forums/topic/2?replies=1 does not exist.” anymore.

But now I’m getting bb_get_user needs a numeric ID.

Solution :

in includes/template-functions.php

replace

switch ( bb_find_filename($_SERVER) ) :

by

switch ( bb_find_filename($_SERVER) ) :

I had the same partial 404-links.

For me the right htaccess solved the issue.

It was really the missing Options +MultiViews in the .htaccess (root or bbpress-folder – both works). So maybe You’ve a further look?
