Describe the issue in as much detail as possible. Please remove the sections below if the issue is obvious enough and doesn’t require extra details.
Steps to reproduce
Install HivePress after WPForo.
Actual result
Page header menu links all 404, except “Classifieds” , “Add Listing” and user profile.
Expected result
no 404 errors, or at least some instruction on where to edit these menu links, and what to set them to - or be honest and say this doesn’t work with WPForo ?
Could you please specify which links are affected? For example, are HivePress account/menu links not working, or are WordPress core links breaking inside HivePress pages, or something else (classifieds-related URLs)?
A screenshot or short screencast of the issue would be very helpful.
Also, please try resaving permalinks after installation (WordPress > Settings > Permalinks > Save Changes) and check if the issue persists.
Perhaps my info is a little short, but I don’t have the time for extended debugging. I have what I need at the moment, and I’m leaving it at that. I also had to disable the Hivepress messaging, as the link to view messages also 404’s .
In short, to duplicate my problem, just do a vanilla install of Wordpress, then add WPForo, then add Hivepress.
Hivepress will display a menu in the page header of the WPForo forum. Those links, except for the couple I mentioned, all 404. Login, logout, etc, all 404.
The problem I found with trying to override URL’s in the template functions.php is that the Hivepress base URL overrides any changes, meaning that there is a bug where the assembled URL is hardcoded to prefix the base url, then append the changed url, instead of just using the changed url as provided.
For now, I have things stable. No touch, no break.
I’ve tried reproducing the issue locally using the general steps (fresh WordPress installation, wpForo, and then HivePress), and all links work as expected: wpForo and HivePress | Loom.
If there is an issue, it is likely caused by deeper configuration differences or specific server/plugin settings in your environment.
If you decide to investigate the issue further at a later stage, feel free to share your observations with us.
I’ve also re-installed on a dev site, and followed my own steps , and the links all work [ including hivepress messaging ] - provided that
the “Turn WordPress to this forum board” option in wpForo > Boards
is NOT enabled.
Once that is switched, the problems occur.
I’ve gone so far as to have two dev sites, with the consolidated menu structure working perfectly on one, and not the other, which tells me the problem is indeed a mis-configuration somewhere.
