Actually, user profile link is misbehaving similarly.
Go to the wp admin section, then go to Settings and then Forums.
Check to make sure there are no conflicts
There are no conflicts.
Also went to WP Admin > Settings > Permalinks and hit Save.
For some strange reason only subforums are behaving badly.
www.domain.com/forum/f/forum-name/subforum-name returns 404.
I tried monkeyman’s rewrite analyzer and have been told that the rewrite rule is working; something else is in the way.
I tried putting print(debug_backtrace()); after function set_404() { in wp-includes/query.php but did not get any intelligible debug information…all that happens is: a single word Array gets prefixed to the top of the 404 page.
I have also discovered that in the database, in the table wp_posts the value stored in column guid for these subforums is http://www.domain.com/forum/f/subforum-name i.e. without the parent forum’s slug.
If I try to visit www.domain.com/forum/f/subforum-name then I do get to the subforum page. Funnily enough, the breadcrumbs on that page depict the correct path including the parent forum.
Curiously, when I create a new subforum, the guid field for it is www.domain.com/?post_type=forum&#XXX;p=YYYY If I try to follow that URL, I end up at forums base.
I should point out that this messed up parent-child relationship is only occuring for bbPress…I have many hierarchical pages in WP, and they all seem fine.
Not sure but you can also try looking under Pages and see if there is anything there that has the same name. Match your Forums base name and try that.
