Upgraded both WordPress and Simple:Press. Now most of the forums are giving a Error 404 – Page not found! and the rest if they are similar to a WordPress page on the site go to that page. Seems to be something changed in the upgrades regarding the forum links structure?

okay, I clicked Integration>Page and Permalink>”Update Forum Permalink” the link did not change and I left it the same but clicking that seems to have reset it and I’m no longer getting the 404 error. Posting in case this happens to anyone else they can try this as it seemed to work for me.

yes, as reported multiple times, if that happens, its the fix…  it updates the rewrite rules… somewhere in the update, wp or another plugin flushed them…  we have taken steps in next version to make sure they were not dorked with on an upgrade…
