Hi,

I noticed that wpforo shows an own 404 page, which is not the standard wordpress 404 page and which is not translated.
I tried to use a 404 plugin to show my own 404 page, but it doesn´t work for wpforo.

Also the wpforo 404 page is empty for me. But I see an english titel in the browser “404 – Page not found – ”
How can I deactivate the wpforo 404 page?

I try to remove sites from google, because I changed my permalink from “forums” to “forum”. But that doesn´t work because of the empty wpforo 404 page…

Edit: The wpforo 404 is working and translated under the correct permalink. (“/forum/123/”)
The problem occurs when you enter an a wrong URL with the permalink inside.

e.g. “/forums/” or “/forum123/” instead of “/forum/”.

I ended up in forcing a correct 404 page for my old permalink.

function force_404() {
    global $wp;
    $current_url =  home_url( $wp->request ); 
    $pos = strpos($current_url , '/forums');

    if($pos > 0){
        global $wp_query;
        $wp_query->set_404();
    }
}
add_action( 'wp', 'force_404' );

This way I could remove the sites in google search console 🙂
