So I just started using MyBB and started putting up forums on it, but when I click my forum, it gives me an error 404 (page not found). It does this for EVERY forum on it.
The urls look like:
http://myforum.com/FORUM-Graphic-Designs
It says "FORUM-" for every single forum as well...I don't know how this got that way or what to do.
Edit : have you installed Google SEO plugin ?
______________________________________
admin panel --> configuration --> settings --> Server and Optimization Options -->
Enable search engine friendly URLs? <-- select disabled AND save settings
As ranjani said, disable search engine friendly URLs AND the google SEO plugin (if you have)
______________
Are you sure you have correct rewrite rules in .htaccess?
Yep it was because I had search engine friendly URLs from Google SEO. But what if i WANT those..?
^ you have to use .htaccess file with the correct rewrite rules
Google SEO plugin clearly suggests the required rewrite rules at plugins page
There's a .htaccess sample file within the Google SEO package. Use it.
So am I to overwrite the original .htaccess file? Won't that mess up my website?
No. But there are some things you need to edit within the file, see the comment at the top.
Is there a guide on how to do this?
