Parent Page Issue
Quote from ryan@hoaexpert.net on January 25, 2019, 7:41 pmHello,
I have my forum as a parent page, however any other page that I attach to the parent page won’t go to the page its supposed to. Example- I will click on the other page in the drop down for “Forum” and it takes me to the actual forum not the page its supposed to go to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, this is how it works currently. This problem happens because the forum actually has sub-pages as well (profile, search, activity, and other views). So when you try to access a sub-page, the forum cannot find it because the actual page-slug is passed to the forum.
Why? Assume you create a WordPress sub-page called “Profile”. When the page-slug would be passed to both forum and WordPress, it would be not clear anymore if the user wants access the forum-profile or the wordpress-page called “Profile”.
So the only possible workaround is to put your sub-pages to another place OR disable the entire URL-logic for the forum by disabling SEO-friendly URLs.
