Hello,

I have installed the wpForo forum plugin in a local test environment of a website.

Therefore you can not reproduce live this error that I have.

In the user guide it says that the plugin creates a page called /community/ where the shortcode is [wpforo]. This is correct.

The forum is in a protected members area using the Simple WordPress Membership plugin.

However, I can’t get the forum through the URL:

http://www.mydomain.de/community/

I get a 404 error.

I can only access the forum through the URL:

http://www.mydomain/members-area/community

But the forum home page /community/ has the permalink mentioned first!

Hi @thobie,

Navigate to Dashboard > wpForo > Boards, edit the main board, and check the Board slug and board ID. Then Navigate to Dashboard > Pages, and check Forum pages URL slug and ID, both ID's and slug's should be the same.

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.

The board has the boardid 0 and the slug community.

I don't know what you mean by that:

Then Navigate to Dashboard > Pages, and check Forum pages URL slug and ID, both ID's and slug's should be the same.

Actually the menu item "Dashboard" -> "Pages" and then the board's homepage, which has the shortcut "[wpforo]"? It has the same slug, but where do I find the ID on a WP page?

Surely you don't mean the category or forum pages via "Dashboard" -> "wpForo" -> "Forums"?

I notice that on the "Forum" page, which contains the shortcut "[wpforo]", if I select a) main page (no parent) or b) any child page in the page attributes -> parents, the error message, Page not found, (URL www.mydomain.de/community) appears in "Preview of changes" for a), and the forum is displayed for b), (URL www.mydomain.de/page/community).
