Installed 5 beta 2 days ago on our site and everything worked fine. Then yesterday, I found that suddenly, although the forum homepage was loading fine, on clicking on any forum, the user was directed to the site homepage. 

I recreated the forum indexes using the forum toolbox and everything started working fine again.

 

But today again we have exactly the same problem and recreating indexes, clearing cache, and resetting site permalinks is not helping.

 

Can you please have a look:

so something is changing? 

wait, looks like you are running the yoast seo plugin, true?  if so go to its options and turn off the option for rewriting or converting ugly urls (or something like that)...  it messing with our permalinks and rewrites for some reason...

I tried to disable the yoast plugin and then cleared the cahce too but it didn't correct the problem. So obviously yoast is not the culprit here.

So something else must be performing the redirection. Do you have the Permalink Redirect plugin active for example?

or... your page is currently getting cached by w3 total cache...  as discussed a zillion times here, you cannot cache the forum page... and must tell w3 total cache to ignore and not cache the forum page for ALL types of cache you are using...

here is an example of the cached pages I am getting served:

<!-- Performance optimized by W3 Total Cache. Learn more: http://www.w3-edge.com/wordpre.....s-plugins/

Minified using disk: basic
Page Caching using disk: enhanced
Database Caching 39/61 queries in 0.020 seconds using disk: basic
Object Caching 1936/1946 objects using disk: basic

Served from: hpathy.com @ 2011-12-18 16:44:17 -->

since every forum page is dynamically generated, it cannot be cached... likely you are serving cached pages from when yoast seo was attempting to correct the urls...

This briefly got resolved yesterday. I am not sure how.

 

But today the problem still come up. And that is, when I have already disabled w3t cache plugin. So this can't be a cache issue.

 

I do not have any permalink redirection plugin.

define disabled? if you still have an advanced_cache.php file in wp-content and still have wp_cache defined in your wp config, you may still be getting cached results if the cache was not also cleared...

and you dont have to disable...  just tell it to ignore the forum page.. each cache option in that plugin has that ability...

That is what I did after reading your suggestion. Asked the cache plugin to ignor ethe forum page but that didn't help.

Then I disabled the plugin from the network admin (wordpress multisite). Didn't help.

 

Then out of despair..I upgraded to the last nightly built of beta 5. After that the links started working fine again and so far they are working fine. I have ofcourse not enabled the chance plugin again yet but will give it a shot with ignore forum page.
