Forum Broken after Moving Blog to Root

Recommended Posts

flidget

I originally purchased the PlatformPro Developer just for the Blog, but it is so good I decided to use it for my whole website (excluding the shop). The original install directory was a sub-directory under root. I've successfully migrated wp to root, which was not a particularly smooth experience. However, the bbPress Forum was deep integrated and didn't like the move at all. I've patched the wp/bb database tables to remove the old sub-directory which let me back into bbPress admin. One problem remains - the theme displays a 404 page when you try to display a forum post. Can anyone suggest how to fix this final problem? http://www.easyphoto.co.uk/forum/ Thanks.

Did you check the path for the line of code that allowed the "deep integration"

I'm not sure which line you mean, but I have: require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wp-load.php'); Everything loads, nicely integrated. But when you click on a topic title you get a 404 error. Could it be a permalinks issue, I use: /%category%/%postname%/-%post_id%/ The error 404 page tries to load: http://www.easyphoto.co.uk/forum/topic/forum-rules-and-guidelines-4 Which looks correct, except it doesn't seem to find post/page to load.

Ok, I've fixed it as follows: Go to bbPress Admin Settings>Permalinks> Press "Save Changes" Very Happy Now.
