Subject: Forum URLs returning 404 — Shortcode and Permalink Issue

Hi Asgaros Support Team,

I am running Asgaros Forum on a WordPress site (amacaction.org) and am experiencing a persistent 404 issue with all forum URLs.

Here is a summary of the issue and everything I have tried:

**The Problem**
All forum sub-URLs return a 404 error. For example:
https://amacaction.org/community/forum/first-forum/

**My Setup**
– WordPress with BetterDocs (custom post type for documentation)
– MemberPress for membership access control
– Asgaros Forum installed and activated
– Forum Location is set to a standard WordPress page with the slug /community/

**What I Have Already Tried**
1. Set Forum Location to a proper WordPress Page (not a BetterDocs doc)
2. Renamed the page slug from “forum” to “community” to avoid a URL conflict where /forum/forum/first-forum/ was being generated
3. Flushed permalinks multiple times via Settings → Permalinks → Save
4. Deleted and recreated forums from scratch
5. Verified the shortcode [asgarosforum] is in a Shortcode block on the page

**The forum index renders correctly** on the /community/ page. The 404 only occurs when clicking into individual forums or topics.

**Questions**
– Is there a known conflict between Asgaros Forum and MemberPress that could be intercepting forum sub-URLs?
– Could BetterDocs’s custom post type routing be interfering with Asgaros’s rewrite rules?
– Is there anything beyond a permalink flush needed to register Asgaros’s rewrite rules — for example a specific .htaccess entry?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
