I've lost the forum. Why?

I don’t know whether tthis has anything to do with the problem but I suspect it has. I installed an access management plugin today, Role Scoper. I’ve just noticed that when I try to access any of the forums, I’m redirected. For example, when I try to access http://livingonanarrowboat.co.uk/forum/living-on-a-narrowboat/ I’m redirected to a post with the following content…

living-on-a-narrowboat
[edit]

To add an excerpt to a post, simply write one in the Excerpt field under the post edit box. An excerpt can be as short or as long as you wish. Usually, given its purpose, a couple of sentences is fine.

Interestingly, since the WordPress excerpt is similar in purpose to the META description of (X)HTML documents, excerpts can additionally be used as meta descriptions too. Some themes do this by default. It can also be done by means of an SEO plugin or a plugin for managing data in the head of (X)HTML pages.

What can I do to get the forum back?

I suppose it is possible that Role Scoper has wiped out the SP rewrite rules. Try going to the WP admin > Settings > Permalinks and updating the site permalinks – no need to make any change. See if that corrects it.

The only thing I now about Role Scoper is that the Groups it creates can not be (or at least used to not be able to be) mapped to SP user groups because it failed to use the proper WP API. This may have changed in more recent versions of course.

No, that hasn’t worked. Here’s another link to a post in the forum – http://livingonanarrowboat.co.uk/forum/living-on-a-narrowboat/checklists/#p1162 – I’m being redirected to the RSS Feed subscription page. Any ideas?

Sorry. I was updating the WP permalink rather than the Simplepress permalink. It’s OK now. Thanks for the advice.

Well that was what I suggested you do. If that didn’t fix it updating SP permalinks came next :)
