Hello guys,
All my posts now displays "404 Page Not Found" After i moved my forum to the homepage.
Please i need to resolve this.
I hope you've not enabled the "Turn WordPress to wpForo" option. If so, please disable it and read the description of that option before enabling it. Never use things that you don't know.
If this is not that case, then explain how have you put your forum on home page.
Have you tried to disable all caches?
Also, have you deleted wpForo cache in Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard admin page?
Something like this happened to me. It was something with the timing of when the forum was made, to when the page was made.
The forum page number was somewhere, and you have to make sure that is assigned to the correct page number.
Man it was ages ago, and i forget the finer details sorry.
go to the top bar and hover over "forum dashboard"
go to "settings" and clik that
If you scroll down a little, and see under the box turn forum into front page, there will be something that says "forum page id" and it will have the page number next to it.
That needs to be changed to be on the right page you have recently made..... but im not sure how to do it lol
Goood luck man
@martin Okay, i think the problem was from the theme i used. The theme showed other Mal-functions.
However i still have another problem.
my forum was initially at thebendelite.com/forum before i moved it to thebendelite.com
(Please the site is currently locked under construction for now for personal reason)
my old forum topics and new topics still carry the permalinks of thebendelite.com/forum/*****.
For instance i just made a post now this is the link it created https://thebendelite.com/forum/front-page-topics/new-post/.
How can i set it to only homepage url / category / post title
This is a typical example of what i need from a wpforo forum site https://thekojiforum.com/seo/easy-to-rank-keywords/
Thanks.
This is the working logic of wpForo and of all WordPress plugins which brings new content to front-end. There should be a base path like /forum/ for forum plugins or /events/ for Events plugin or /products/ for Ecommerce plugins like WooCommerc and so on... there is no way to remove that path. Because there is no way to let plugins know that the current URL is related to a forum or an event or a product, this is the only indicator and it cannot be removed.
@robert This forum here is a WPForo forum.
It is on the hompage and doesn't have a base path like /forum as you said.

How did they achieve that?
That because this forum has turned on the "Turn WordPress to wpForo" option. This option should be enabled in case you don't have other pages, posts or plugins on front-end, just read the description of this option before using it. So if you don't turn your WordPress to frum then you will have /forum/ prefix. There is no other solution. I've already explained it why.
@robert Okay Noted, if i use the option "Turn WordPress to wpForo"
can i still turn off the option with any complication?
Yes, you can. Just read attentive, the option description. All non-forum page URLs should be inserted in the "Exclude pages" texarea, it'll be opened once the option is enabled.
