Good morning,

I'm running wordpress in a sub-directory and when I updated to 1.0.0 I couldn't even see the forums. Now that I've converted to 1.0.1 I can see the front page of the forum and topics however I can't access the actual content. Each time I hit a link it takes me to my front page of Wordpress.

I did the SQL update you mentioned and it doesn't seem to have made a difference.

Please check the page slug and forum base URL. Make sure those are the same.

Hi,

        Thanks for the reply. The forum slug is mysite/community however the wpforo settings always goes to mysite/wordpress/community. The mysite/wordpress part is greyed out so I can't change it. 

Any thoughts?

Where is installed your WordPress? Is it located in /wordpress/ subDirectory? If it isn't. have you migrated from /wordpress/ subDirectory to root? Something is wrong with WP/wpForo data, it seems the current database has been moved or WordPress URL is incorrect. If WordPress is installed in /wordpress/ subDirectory the Home URL and the site URL should be mysite.com/wordpress/. Make sure it's correct. Also make sure you use permalinks in Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks admin page. wpForo doesn't work with default ?p=1 URL structure.

yes it is,

sooo:

Site URL is MySite.org

Wordpress URL is MySite.Org/Wordpress

Forum URL is MySite.Org/Wordpress/community (underlined the bits I can't change)

My Forum URLS (from things like last post and my forum page) go to mysite.org/Wordpress/community/stuff

My permalinks are on postname

my page for my forums has [wpforo]

permalink is mysite.org/community
