I Ilooked on my forums and the category for the 2nd forum is

he 3rd is

[wpforo item="forum" id="1"]

 

So that should be fine. But the pages are blank

Hi @dallaz,

Please never duplicate topics in support forum. Next time we have to ban your account.

As per the issue, please make sure the pages you're using for shortcodes are not a child pages of forum page. Forum page should not have any child pages.

hi robert,

Thank you. I wasn't sure if this would receive a follow up answer. noted

i am not very familiar with child themes but as far as i understand, i would have needed to create a child theme from a base one in the appearance-themes-upload section. I did not do this.

They used to work as their own pages but maybe something happened that caused the 404 issue

You don't show the most important thing. The parent of these pages. I don't see page parent settings of this page. Why these pages have /esl-forums/ parent path??? The /esl-forums/ is the forum main path. Your pages should not be under this path. I think, they should not have parent paths, they should be like this:

Hi Robert, thank you for the help.

 

It was a little too difficult to fix them so I managed to resolve the issue by just deleting the 2 pages and creating 2 new ones with the same [wpforo item="forum" id="17"] etciimplemented

Thanks!
