Tried disabling that plugin and it didn’t help. So guess that one is not the culprit.

 

Plus the plugin was not there when the problem occurred earlier. 

 

It is definitely related to some permalinks issue but I can’t pin it. I have seen this error crop after installing some plugin. For eg it cropped up after installing private msging plugin for forums. Disabled it, resaved the permalinks and rebuilt the forum indexes and the forums started working again. 

 

But this time nothing is helping.

What about ‘Permalink Redirect’ or ‘Yoast SEO’. Do you have either of those active?

I do not have any permalinks redirect plugin.

 

Do redirect some old pages and categories to new ones in htaccess

 

Yoast seo was there when this problem occoured. But read somewhere that it can cause issues so disabled and deleted it.

In despair I did lot many things. Reuploaded the forums, reinstalled the wordpress, removed seo and cache plugins, cleaned htaccess and what not – nothing worked. Then out of despair I started clicking the integration option. Unchecking this option finally made the links come alive again:

 

Filter WP list pages:

 

Can somebody tell me what this option does to the forum?

sometimes when the old wp_lists_pages() function is used to generate the nav menu at the top of many sites, it does so incorrectly and you can end up with the topic name showing up in the nav menu…

enabling that option attempts to remove topic name from the nav menu….

Then I played with Permalinks and its happend when I have the structure: /%category%/%postname%/if I have no permalinks everthing was fine but my problem is that i must have this permalink structure maybe you have a tip or an resolution for me.

 

Thanks
