 * I get this no matter what permalink structure is selected. When first installed
   it could not find its pages. Tries to go to Community directory and errors 404.
   Forum page has a number and can be edited by using its page id number.

 * Please navigate to Settings > Permalinks and set it /postname/, Then Uninstall(
   not just deactivate), Delete and Install wpForo again. Also please check it using
   other browsers or PC. Sometime 404 errors are being cached in local, so you can’t
   see it fixed or not.

 * Have you checked regular posts an page? Do they work with SEO permalinks?
    And
   what about forum page? Does it work? Please leave some URL.

 * Did that and it won’t allow me to add the page to the main menu. Just sits and
   churns and never gives error or add menu item. This is what happened on first
   time I installed. No URL to leave because it won’t allow me to make menu item.
   The only wa it will show is with the View menu in the All Pages list. It errors
   when trying to edit:
 * > Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   > 192 bytes)
 * . It references a line number in these files: class-wp-post.php on line 240 and
   cache.php on line 672, neither of which contain any information about this page.

 * This error is not wpForo error. And the problem comes from your server configuration.
   It seems the memory limit is too small, WordPress can’t work and can’t add a 
   new item in dashboard menu. wpForo doesn’t have any relation to these issues.
   Please increase Memory and InputVars of your hosting service or change it.
    I’d
   recommend these values. Please contact to hosting service support and ask them
   configure your PHP with these values. Or just change the hosting service.
 *     ```
       post_max_size 100M
       memory_limit 256M
       max_input_vars 100000
       max_execution_time 60
       ```

 * Couldn’t help but notice: The default page for this plug in is not a page but
   a folder called Community in the root directory, which is not produced when the
   plugin installs. The setup gives the option to use folders only but not pages.
   I added the folder manually and when I try and access it I get _“You don’t have
   permission to access /community/ on this server.
    Additionally, a 403 Forbidden
   error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”
   
   Not true. I’m the administrator.
    I tried the method suggested to change the 
   php settings and that caused the home page and admin menus not to load.

 * I’m sorry but something is basically wrong on your website. Nothing works. I 
   don’t think this is wpForo issue. Please install a fresh WordPress (make sure
   the tables are all removed before installing) then send admin login details to
   support[at]gvectors.com we’ll install wpForo ourselves.

 * You were on it while I was reloading it. Try again. It’s back.

 * I don’t know your website URL. I’ve never been on your website. Please read my
   last post. Saying “nothing works” I mean something is basically incorrect and
   wpForo fully stuck on your website. I need a fresh installation to check it.

 * OK. I didn’t think I had given it out.
    Please see previous post about the Community
   folder. Reinstalling right now. Thank you for working with this so fast.

 * Check this out:
    Had an idea. I moved the community folder to a lower level directory
   and changed the Forum Base URL to reflect this. This worked. I this case it does
   not work if the community folder is in the root directory. Will post any more
   problems I have with this. Thank you.
 * Had to give out some stars for the responsiveness and persistence of the support
   crew.
