# 404 Errors When Accessing Forums

 * Our website uses a plugin called bbPress to create forums. When I connect the
   Jetpack plugin to WordPress.org, non-admin users get a “Well, this is embarrassing”
   404 not found error when they try to access any of the forums, whether the forums
   are public or private. Users with the Administrator role are able to access the
   forums without difficulty. When I disconnect the Jetpack plugin, forum access
   for non-admin users is restored.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2F404-errors-when-accessing-forums%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@pschlenker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pschlenker/)
 * This is the forums for the [Jetpack Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/),
   you may want to post on this forum instead:
 * [https://bbpress.org/forums/](https://bbpress.org/forums/)
 * Best,

 * Thanks for the link. The reason I posted to this forum is because the problem
   I’m experiencing only exists when I connect the Jetpack plugin to WordPress.org.
   There is some kind of unfavorable interaction going on between the Jetpack plugin
   and the bbPress plugin. At this point I don’t want to make an assumption as to
   where the root of the problem is located.
 * I will also post to the bbPress support forum, but I’d still like this post to
   remain on the Jetpack forum in case other Jetpack users have run into this same
   problem. Thanks.

 * Hi [@pschlenker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pschlenker/)
 * I install the bbPress and try to replicate the issue on a Jetpack site but I’m
   not seeing any similar issue for non-admin.
 * Could you please temporarily deactivate all the site’s plugins except for Jetpack
   + bbPress and clear your browser’s cache. Then try checking again. If it works,
   then we’ll know that another plugin is conflicting here. You can re-enable your
   plugins one by one, trying checking in between, until you find the one causing
   the conflict. You can leave it disabled or reach out to the plugin developer 
   for a fix.
 * If disabling plugins doesn’t help, it may be the theme. Temporarily switch your
   theme to a WordPress default theme like [Twenty Twenty-One](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwentyone/).
   Then try checking again. If it works, then you know it’s a problem with the theme,
   and you can reach out to the theme developer for a fix.
 * Let me know how it goes!
 * If it doesn’t resolve, could you please share a full screenshot of the error.
   To upload and share a screenshot, you can use this platform: [https://snipboard.io](https://snipboard.io)
