What the redirection does is. Lets say i have a dead link that i noticed people been clicking on I would just redirect that link they are clicking on to any other link on my site.
it would worth checking that you have the forum page excluded from any redirection of that plugin… many of the wp plugins for redirection get confused with simple press since the wp page content for the forum is not static – its very dynamic with a whole url rewrite structure beneath it… they have a tendency to get confused by simple press urls because in effect, they all really point to the same wp page…
I only have 3 links being re-directed. None of which are to the forum. Just posts i have made.
Well I’ve had the SPF deactivated for almost a week now and not one single 404 error. Any other suggestions you may have before I just totally give up on the plugin? Could it be related to me importing old data from bbpress? I really like the plugin but if it doesn’t work for me Im going to have to give up on it.
can you try a small edit for me?
go to simple-press/sp-startup/sp-load-site.php and find this line of code:
add_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘sp_404’);
and either comment it out (put # before it) or just remove it…
and see if that helps…
okay, just let us know… that particular change is already been incorporated into the next version of SP as the old 404 logic is out dated… shouldnt affect folks, but ya never know with wp… 
So far so good Papa. Been running all day and no 404 errors. I will keep you posted. Is there a theme that you can recommend that runs good with simple-press. Eventually If everything goes well I want to change out the game portal theme im using now being that its made for bbpress and buddypress
only 11:45 here! sorry, just like all topics to have an answer…
