I am running into a problem – has been going on for a long time – when anything updates on this site, I need to flush the permalinks or the topics will not work. If someone chooses a topic in the forum, they are directed to the home page of the site.

If I manually flush permalinks, everything operates correctly.

Can you advise?

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

Thank you! The problem is I cannot predict when the issue will occur. I do not know exactly how to duplicate the problem – only notice that is seems to occur around WordPress updates.

Do you haves you other way to test?

Thanks

you’d need to define down when it happens, always a problem when things just seem to happen – good luck 🙂
