Playing around with a test WP install with bunch of plugins I intend to use in production.

So I installed WP at /blog and installed handful of plugins, notably bbpress and buddypress, yoast seo

This is the problem:
http://www.mydomain.com/blog/forums/

It doesn’t show all the forum categories. It’s showing up like a blog post/page instead.

This is one of the parent forums:
http://www.mydomain.com/blog/forums/forum/the-buzz/

Why is it showing /forums/forum? I only want it to be for example /forums

Now, if I try to go to http://www.mydomain.com/blog/forums/forum/ to see the whole list of forums like it should be, it redirects me to “forum banners”?

MY SETTINGS:

permalinks: post name

Yoast SEO: %%title%% %%page%%

.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

this is common , all you have to do is create a bbpress.php file your bbpress installation.

heres more instructions on how to create one.

Why is it showing /forums/forum? I only want it to be for example /forums

its suppose to be setup that way.

you can disable the Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug in settings>forum, its recommended though.

Now, if I try to go to http://www.mydomain.com/blog/forums/forum/ to see the whole list of forums like it should be

you should go to http://www.mydomain.com/blog/forums/

/forums/ for all forums

/forums/forum for specific forum.

If you happen to be using Genesis theme, there’s a plugin to fix the forum index (main forum page) not displaying the forums and topics – and looking more like a broken blog post page https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/
