I updated wordpress today then I updated simplepress according to the prompts. now every forum topic goes to a 404 page! Help!

In reading another post on 404, should I have unplugged the plugins?

Did you try updating the forum permalink on the Integration > Page and Permalink admin panel?

you are over my head but if you can explain what that is I will feel better about trying it :) I’m pretty nervous right now :(

Exactly that. Go to Integration > Page and Permalinks admin panel and click on Update Forum Permalinks button…

interesting… good news, but not sure why wp rewrite rules would have been lost during an ugprade… thanks for the update!

Happened to me too. Had to upgrade to Silver Membership to get this answer. Guess it paid off with me too. Enjoy the $39 least I can do to support this plugin.

weird. thanks for the info – and continued support.

wonderful if we can force a wp permalink update after the forum upgrade to try to head these off.  will look into for next release.

also wonder if wp 3.6 did some url rewrite rules tweaking which is why we are seeing these few know and not before after updates.

Good to know,. We are not sure why a few have had this issue. Never has happened before. We have already ensured it wont happen again by forcing a rebuild as a part of the upgrade. Sorry you were one who was affected by it.

thanks for letting us know… a mystery why only a handful of affected, but hopefully refreshing on upgrades will help…
