Question Getting 404 errors when trying to view any forum topics.

Hi rich,
I tested again by deleting the Kunena menu forum home item and the main menu forum alias. Then I re-created them after clearing the trash. I tested both the Kunena menu forum item as the "Home" menu type and the "Category List" menu type. But nothing corrects the problem. I also disabled Kunena Discuss plugin during all testing and that didn't fix the problem either.
I'm not having any problems with my other menu navigation items on my sites, so it must be a conflict with J3.73 and the Kunena menu. Is there a Kunena expert that I can email my SU login to so they could test to find out what the cause is?

Thanks.

It makes no sense if you try always the same. Either you delete radically all menu items or you searching further. If you create a database backup previously, you have the deleted menus within 2 min back if it also with new menus not work.

But I see a further problem. In your configuration report is a mix between old version of Kunena and new version. Could it be, you have still adaptations from early versions? In your configuration report are options, which long time ago removed from Kunena. Empty also the cache before you test again.

Hi rich,

1) Is there something I can do to remove the "old verion" of Kunena that you said is in my config report? I only update Kunena using the normal update feature of the extension. So I don't know how the old version is still there.

2) I deleted all the Kunena menu items, then I emptied that trash and the cache. Then I created a new Kunena menu item and I tested this with "Kunena Home" and "Kunena Category List" menus. But I still get the 404 errors.

I have Discuss plugin disabled but one thing I noticed is that the 404 errors are due to URL's that have the beginning part listing the forum navigation URLs, but the ending part appears to be the Joomla article navigation URLs. For example:
www.my domain name/forum-alias/health-safety-mold-mildew/12577-selling-home-may-be-influenced-by-what-buyers-can-t-see-2009-06-19
The ending of the URL is the Joomla article URL: 12577-selling-home-may-be-influenced-by-what-buyers-can-t-see-2009-06-19
Is is possible that the Kunena Discuss plugin created the bug when it added the topics to the forum? For example, I had Discuss plugin set to create the topic for each article on the first visit. I later changed that to first reply but that plugin is now disabled for this testing.

Thanks.

If you want I can do a look. But create a full backup previously. You can send the access data to rich@*kunena.org (address without star).

There is a conflict between the plugin JotCache and the Blue Eagle, I've disabled it preliminary. Maybe you can exclude Kunena from this cache.
And this one menu item I've corrected.

Hi Rich,

Thank you very much for solving the problem for me!! I greatly appreciate that.

I have JotCache enabled on my sites but now I disabled the com_kunena component in JotCache and my forums work fine now.

Should I report to the Kunena devs about this bug/conflict with Kunena and JotCache? If yes, what link or where do I post the issue?

Thanks!
