OK, then it’s not fixed.
Whether you’ve had an issue or not in the last two years has no bearing on whether or not there is an issue in this case.
Windows 10 + Apache -> doesn’t work. Linux (Ubuntu) + Apache -> works. Other plugins -> makes no difference.
Correlation doesn’t imply causation, but it can give you hints.

But I don’t have time to pursue this any further. I just wanted it to just work so I can do this one tweak for the client who wants to start using your forum (instead of XenForo, ironically), which should’ve been a 10 minute job, but as usual there’s always a jagged edge. I’ll just have to use a VM or something.

Best of luck with your project. I will not give a review since you did make some attempt to help.

I’ve just tested it on a linux machine and it works OK there.
So it’s probably a bug related to non-universal paths, which manifests on a windows machine.

I did paste that server info from that place.

https://localhost/name_of_my_project/community/
Same as the forum base url setting.
“Forum” page is intact and set at that url, as a page containing only [wpforo]

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /name_of_my_project/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /name_of_my_project/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

It was helpful to me. Someone just recommended I use this to debug why one of their plugins isn’t working. The stream of recent reviews that indicate it renders their sites inoperable stopped me doing so.

Perhaps the authors & supporters of this plugin should factor in these responses into their use cases and requirements specs, and thence their code, going forward; rather than worrying about the particular undiplomatic way in which people respond to said resulting inoperation.

Web Server Apache/2.4.25 (Win64) OpenSSL/1.0.2k PHP/7.1.5
PHP Version 7.1.5
MySQL Version 5.7.18
PHP Max Post Size 8M

PHP DateTime Class Available

extension=php_mbstring.dll (enabled)
xml_parser_create() returns OK (XML Parser extension bundled in windows version)

PHP 7.1.5
Enable output buffer had no effect.

I can’t install that plugin because there are multiple 1 star warnings not to.
I’m not disabling other plugins and changing the theme (stock wp theme) to try and get this to work. Other plugins have no problem.

I guess I’ll just debug it myself; a client wants to use it on their site.

Thanks for the rapid reply.

1. It was set to the postname permalink
2. As mentioned, other pages do work, as long as they don’t have [wpforo] in them. They also work when they include shortcodes from other plugins.
3. mod_rewrite is enabled since other pages are accessible through their rewritten url
4. I did that and it didn’t work

Please let me know where the rendering of the wpforo shortcode occurs, so I can debug it myself.
