You have all kind of caches. Cloudflare, Breeze, Redis. But you complain about wpForo.

It's painful using this now where it was once a breeze.

@forumlover Everybody's time is valuable.

Do not use any caching or at least exclude wpForo from it. You have a history of caching issues:

I found the issue. The W3 Cache plugin was causing the problem. I deactived it and saved with no issue and then reactived it.

I removed the cache plugin. Would Cloudflare also be an issue? Still not working. I contacted the host Cloudways, and they said nothing wrong with the server or the app and ran all checks. Also, if it said this during installation, I didn't see it. Was it in reading something like this, "WARNING NO CACHING for wpforo? I guess I was assuming it would be like it was years ago when we used it as a plug-and-play forum and didn't look for that. I am not stupid or a slow learner. Not sure what is causing all the problems, and like I said, we used this years ago, and it was easy breezy. I can set up another server and set up the WP app with no cache, no Cloudflare, or anything to start out and see what needs to be removed to make it work. It's just that I am as busy as a bug in a chicken coop and doing all the extra work is not a joy in a situation like this.

It's still redirecting me after I log out, so I can't log in. What did you guys do to this cool forum? I used it years ago, and it was intuitive and user-friendly. What happened?

Nothing happened. It is something on your side.

Start by deleting this from your Wordpress. NO CACHING for wpForo. You got a warning during thr installation:

Now I am having a different problem. When I click on the links for members or anything it's not taking me to the page.

I found this page below and think I might know what was happening. However, Google does not like duplicate pages. So, if I follow the steps on the link below to make the forums my home page, won't I be creating the same content on my site?

Now when I try to go to the wp-admin it redirects me to the home page same if I try sign-in. Why does it do that?
