I have a problem with bbpress forums at https://swift.ayrshirealba.org.

I’ve trying to get forums set up, and they work on my local development machine.

When I then deploy the site, the forums don’t work. Once logged on the user is presented with a ‘Nothing here’ message when they try to access the forum.

Mysteriously, after a couple of days, the forums start to work. No changes on my part, no changes at the host, just the passage of time…

I’ve checked with tech support for my hosting (SiteGround), and they can’t see any errors in the database or the site set-up. I’ve disabled all other plugins.

SiteGround think it’s a problem with BbPress. I’ve searched the forums, and I can’t find anyone else with the same problem.

I’m using SiteGround’s staging system do deploy the site. I’m on to staging 46. Maybe that gives you a clue to how much this is bugging me!

Anyway, thanks in advance for any help!

are you using any caching software? either plugin or Siteground?

[downybirch]

No, and SiteGround checked their settings before putting me on to you.

TBH not convinced it’s a problem with BBPRess – they may have just wanted me off their back.

Too cynical?

Can I PM you a password so you can check it out?

Thanks

Thanks to Robin W – problem solved.

The trick is to go to Dashboard>settings>permalinks and click ‘save changes ‘– that resets the permalinks and the forums work as they should.

Would never have thought of that – thanks Robin!
