When we first launched it we did not change the default permalink settings in WordPress, big mistake on our part. We relaunched the site with a new URL and changed the permalinks to %postname%. Only issues now is simple-press still has the current permalink set to /?page_id-88.
I clicked update forum permalink already. I deleted .htaccess file. Any other suggestions?

Well this should work just fine:
- Wordpress admin > Settings > Permalinks - click 'save changes' whether you change them or not. This will flush the WP rewrite rules.
- Forum admin > Integration > Page and Permalink - ensure the correvt oage is selected at top. If not select and update panel.
- CLick update forum permalinks.
- Empty browser cache and try things with fresh page loads.
If that does not work then are you using any sort of caching plugin?

Thanks for the quick reply.
Tried all that, same thing. The main forum page loads. When I try to click into a forum it sill has the old permalink saved and just kicks me back to the main page. No caching plugins.

Ah... going back to the main page is a different issue. Do you have the Yoast SEO plugin active? Or - any redirection plugins?

There is a member access plugin, but not the others.
I am happy to send you a PM with logins if that may help, just let me know.

If - as originally surmised - the permalinks were not 'taking' then when clicking on a link to a forum or topic, you would get a 404 page - i.e., not found.
When instead, it just winds back to the front, main page, then that means the URL is being tampered with by something. The two options mentioned can both do this (and both be set to stop it happening).
So - any other plugins you have that may be having some sort of effect on the urls? Aby htaccess rules other than the standard WP rules?

I will start disabling plugins one by one to see if I can figure out which one is doing it.
I will let you know, thanks again.

I have this working now. I had a plugin that hid the dashboard but once I deactivated it, things started working weird.
Now I have found an issue with the forum tools pop out being cut off. The first couple letters will not display. I tried to resize the window. Any suggestions?
