Hello,

I’m using sydney 1.6 and bbpress, and the search result is allways a 404.

I tried to copy the content-search.php to childtheme/bbpress but it didn’t work.

there is an other content-search.php in the root folder of sydney theme, but when i rename it, it’s still not working.

Do you know how to solve this ?

Best regards,
Lucas

so I reckon you have followed this thread

Search not working

yes ?

If so it should work, but are you using free or pro version of the sydney theme?

I think it’s the free version. i’ll ask my client.

thanks for the fast answer.

just found 5 mins to look at this

so installed free sydney theme from wordpress
downloaded and installed child theme from here
https://athemes.com/download/sydney-child-theme/

creates bbpress folder in child theme

copied \bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\content-search.php to child theme bbpress folder

all works fine.

I can only suggest you try

dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click ‘save’ – this resets the permalinks and often fixes 404 errors
