Hi!

I have just installed the plug in, and testing things out, but I am having problems finding the forum page. I can load the categories, but the main link that the board is set to ("/community") simply has a "Forbiden" title and the text "You don't have permission to access this resource."

 

I assume that this is down to some setting of the wpForo, but I feel that I have tried most. What could be wrong?

The warning doesn't probably come from wpForo but from some security plugin?

What is the url, so we can check more?

@dimalifragis I haven't made any of these pages, but I did find the shortcode on a page titled Forum, and that has the url https://eurogoldfish.com/community/

ok, then start to Disable some plugins to find what plugin blocks that page. Usually they are security or membership plugins.

@dimalifragis Great thanks

I will try some combinations, and get back to you. While I do that, can you answer if it is normal that I can't see my replies here, once I presse reply? Do my replies have to be validated before they get posted?

@wetfish Not normal, probably it has to do with your browser. There is no moderation of posts here, they are immediately posted.

@dimalifragis ok thanks

So i have dissabled all plugins on the site except wpForo, and it still does not allow me to see that page. I have also tried in a private browser, and cleared cookies, but still no luck

@dimalifragis Not that I remember

One thing that I find interesting is, that the one board that I have created has ID 0

I am not sure if this means anything, but I am just mentioning what maybe could be rellevant.

I did try out a few otehr forum plugins before, that I have deleted since, including buddy press. But I assume that deleting them should solve this if it was the case.

 

Lastly, this is 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
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

@dimalifragis Hm.. that is really weird then.

I have made a new page with the shortcode though, and that works!

https://eurogoldfish.com/123-2/

It won't let me delete the original auto created page though, called Forum

Your .htaccess also seems fine.
