Hi There, I have installed wpforo on my wordpress, however when I try to access mywebsite.com/community as it suggests, I am seeing the error below and attached. Could anyone help me?

Thank you,

Sami

Not Found

The requested URL /community was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Hi sisikdogan,

Please navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Settings admin page and click on Update Options button.

Make sure you have the trailing slash on end of the permalink structure in WP settings.

Then Uninstall (not deactivate) and install wpForo again. The uninstall will remove all forum data and rest it on a new installation.

Hi Sofy,

Thanks for your response.

I have taken your steps and as seen in the attached photo - first thing I did was to update options on the forum settings. After that, I went and uninstalled wpforo, and re-activated it. I am still seeing the same issue..

Do you suspect anything else that may be causing this?

Thank you,

Sami

@sisikdogan,

Please note wpForo doesn't work with the default ?p=1 permalink structure (Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks admin page), please change it to one on others (green marked in the screenshot):

Also please check this support topic:
