Hello,
I spent a lot of time getting links of categories and forums working correctly (but I failed).
But also the main 'tabs' Members , Recent Posts and My Profile don't work: they come up with an Object not found error (404).
This is the website I am working on
But not all links provide a 404 (Logout and Add topic as a button work correctly)
The forum base url I have disabled the Wordpress front-end (using the checkbox 'Turn Wordpress to wpForo')
I didn't alter any slugs and I don't have other pages with similar titles as Members, Recent Posts, etcetera...
I also tried not to use the checkbox 'Turn Wordpress to wpForo', using a static page as Home forum as is explained over here
But this didn't help me out.
Please who can give me some clues? I notice the links Login and Register are preceded by ?foro= (I have to mention again I didn't alter any slugs...)
Hi Dear @wilfried .
First of all, make a sure on you apache server has enabled mod_rewrite module
and follow this blog post https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-wordpress-posts-returning-404-error/
to enable the WordPress permalink system
Hi @BlackRaz,
mod_rewrite is enabled
saved permalinks again (didn't fix it)
.htacces file is also correct
Other clues?
You're using "Turn WordPress to wpForo" option in Dashboard > Forum > Settings > General admin page. Please disable it. And only enable it when you read and understand what it means. If you want to display forum on home page use the regular options not this option. This option turns off all WordPress pages and plugins on website front-end. Please disable that option asap.
@robert: I still have my questions... (as you can see I disabled the checkbox and have chosen a static page with the wpforo code: it still doesn't work...)
@Robert: As I said/wrote I also tried this (the regular options) but it doesn't work either...
And why when you use the regular option and link a static page to a page called forum (with [wpforo] code ) does wpforo create another page (called 'Forum page_on_front')??
First I recommend change the theme. This theme is designed for blog posts and it's too narrow for forum. Just change it to have a good view.
Second, the issue is a general issue not wpForo, and this is 100% related to your .htaccess file. I don't know what have you done with that file, but it doesn't work for sure. You can ask your hosting service for support or install a new WordPress website. Here are similar problems:
- https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-object-not-found/
- https://wordpress.org/support/topic/object-not-found-10/
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42609112/wordpress-object-not-found
And why when you use the regular option and link a static page to a page called forum (with [wpforo] code ) does wpforo create another page (called 'Forum page_on_front')??
The new page Forum page_on_front should be selected as home page in Dashboard > Settings > Reading admin page.
And please, navigate to Dashboard > Settings > Permalink, choose the "%postname%" option, click on the [Update options] button. Then navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Settings > General tab and click on the [Update options].
@robert:
Thanks for answering
1) I changed the theme
2) This is the actual content from the ht access file:
# BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between `BEGIN WordPress` and `END WordPress` are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
3) Forum page_on_front was selected as you described Reading admin page...
4) Permalink where already selected as %postname%
Overall: I still don't get it why it doesn't work
Thanks for your patience.
How about other regular pages of your website. Do they work?
Have you contacted to your hosting service support, what hosting you use?
Have you checked the permissions of your .htaccess file (it should be 644)?
No problems with other websites (even other Wordpress driven ones).
My host doesn't know either.
Permissions are 644.
So, I don't know anymore
??
I'm not asking about your other websites. I'm asking about the current website. Do you have other pages in website? Do they work?
What means this "My host doesn't know either."? Please contact to your hosting service support and let them know about this issue. This is your WordPress configuration issue. This problem has nothing to do with wpForo.
