I’ve installed BBPress plugin with WordPress on a brand new install of both. Everything worls fine, except that when the topic authors name or image is clicked the system directs to /forums/users/[username] and that gives a 404 error. Including for me as the administrator.

I’ve searched for a solution but can’t find one. I see lots of people with an issue that the users get 404 but admin doesn’t but I don’t even get that.

This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

Thanks Stephen, I’ve tried that but it made no difference.

Hmmm… Maybe a plugin conflict?

To try and resolve conflicts with other plugins please disable all your plugins except bbPress to see if the error persists. Re-enable each plugin one at a time and if things break again you should be able to now know which other plugin is causing the conflict.

Thanks Stephen, That is what it is, thank you. I’ve now raised the conflict issue with the other plugin writers, much appreciate your help.

Hi guys,

I have the same problem! I just installed bbPress 2.4.1 and any user profile returns a 404 error.

Even myself as the admin: http://www.webacademie.co/discussions/user/Admin/

I even created a brand new user using the bbpress registration form thinking maybe the user needed to be created by bbpress itself but that didn’t work either.

I have tried resetting my permalinks. I also deactivated every single plugin except bbpress and even alone, I still get the 404 errors.

Can someone help me? I have no clue what to do! I’m more than willing to pay for support on this. I just want things to work.

Thanks in advance…

OH! I unchecked Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug in the bbpress settings and it solved the problem for me!
