So I’ve installed buddypress 1.51 and bbpress 2.0, installed the site wide forums, disabled the buddypress forum component, deleted the auto generated forum page, created a menu link to the forum url, and verified my slugs where set as forum and forums in the forums setting tabs.

I’ve un through about 8 different guides on how to set up the site wide forums and nothing is working.

My forum page looks normal (http://unfettereddesigns.net/forums/) with a listing of all forums I’ve created each with a link to the individual forum.

When a user clicks on an individual forum ( like http://unfettereddesigns.net/forums/forum/malifaux/ ) they are brought to what seems to be an empty word press page. You simply cant add posts or get no clue your in a forum.

I’m really at my wits end here, can anyone give me a clue as to where to even start? I have seen anyone else having this error (or at least have been looking in all the wrong places.)

Any help here? I’ve still found nothing.

You’re best to ask for this on the bbPress forums, as that’s where you’re having the problem. I would generally suggest that “pretty permalinks” work in regular WordPress (e.g a post) first.

I really feel the issue is in the buddy press layout or some option there-in. If i switch my site to the BBPress default layout the forums start to work. It’s only when I use a buddy press layout the error is found.

Try running permalinks again.. wp-admin > Settings > Permalinks > Save

no dice there, I’ve gone as far as uninstalling the bbpress and buddy press plugin and reinstalling them. I’m really at a lost.
