Hi wpForo Support Team,

I’m facing a persistent 404 issue related to wpForo and would like your advice.

Here is what I have tested step by step:

  1. My site is running on WordPress with LiteSpeed Cache.

  2. When wpForo is disabled, I can create new pages and posts normally — all URLs load correctly.

  3. When wpForo is activated, any newly created page or post returns a 404 error.

  4. I followed your LiteSpeed compatibility guidance and added the following paths to LiteSpeed Cache → Do Not Cache URIs (one per line):

/community/
/participant/
/sign-up/
/sign-in/
/change-password/

  1. After that, I:

    • Cleared all LiteSpeed cache

    • Went to WordPress → Settings → Permalinks and clicked Save (no changes)

  2. Result: New pages/posts still return 404.

  3. If I deactivate wpForo, all pages immediately work again without 404.

This behavior is 100% reproducible.

Could you please advise:

  • Whether wpForo has additional rewrite / permalink settings that must be applied

  • Or if this is a known conflict with LiteSpeed / Apache rewrite rules

  • Or any recommended server-level configuration for wpForo to avoid breaking WordPress permalinks

Thank you for your help.
