# Multisite with forum plugin Simple:Press

 * I’m setting up an alpha version of Simple:Press, a forum plugin for WP on a multisite
   install with subdomains. I’m running into a problem and hoping some of the gurus
   here can point me in the right direction of things to check. MS is setup and 
   running fine.
 * Simple:Press creates a WP page and outputs a forum to that page.
 * Simple:Press works fine on every site I setup in the network except the main 
   site. On the main site, Simple:Press works fine up until I edit the page in WP.
   I’m using a Genesis child theme, so I could set the page to be full width. Once
   I edit and save the page, the forum page redirects to the home page after a 302
   error.
 * However, this only happens on the main site. I have activated the same Genesis
   theme on a subdomain, with the same set of plugins, and it works fine. I have
   activated the same Genesis theme with the same set of plugins on another multisite
   install and it works fine. By the way, one of those plugins is W3 Total Cache.
   All are on similar VPS hosting platforms. The problem is just with this 1 multisite
   install, and only with the main site. Subdomains within that network are fine.
   I’ve double-checked the .htaccess, and it seems fine and is just like the .htaccess
   on the other network that works fine. I have even manually deleted the entries
   added to postmeta after editing the page, and checked the posts table, and as
   far as I can tell, after editing the WP page and making the manual changes, the
   WP page is just like before it was edited (except for the mod date). Yet it still
   triggers the 302 and redirects.
 * Can anyone suggest what I might check to try to resolve this? Thanks in advance
   for any pointers.

 * I figured out a solution to my own problem. I had this in my wp-config.php:
 * `define( 'NOBLOGREDIRECT', 'http://www.mydomain.com' );`
 * which is why I was only seeing the odd behavior on the main site. As a workaround,
   I created a script with this:
 *     ```
       <?php
       remove_action( 'template_redirect', 'maybe_redirect_404' );
       ?>
       ```
   
 * and put it in my wp-content/mu-plugins folder. That is at least 1 solution. Is
   it the best or right one?

 * I’m tagging this for Simple-Press so the devs (hopefully) see it.
 * I’ve not seen this problem, and I’ve used bbPress on a subdomain install of a
   MultiSite without issues. It may be something funky in the theme or the simplePress
   plugin.
 * Hopefully someone familiar with the plugin can chime in!
 * (Oh! Stupid question – Did you try resaving Permalinks?)

 * Thanks for the feedback, Ipstenu. I’ve covered with the devs already, and posted
   my workaround on their site as well. Yes, I did resave permalinks, several times.
 * I think one difference is that bbPress (at least the current plugin version) 
   uses custom post types, so the content is within WP content types. Simple:Press
   puts its forum and posts in its own tables and uses rewrites to get visitors 
   to them. I think that is the issue.
 * I don’t think it is theme related, but I can try the Twenty Eleven theme. I don’t
   know why their approach would trigger a 404, and it was my understanding that
   NOBLOGREDIRECT only came into play if a 404 was being generated. Anyway, as much
   as I’d like to know why it occurs, I’ve tested the fix I posted above and it 
   works.

 * BuddyPress doesn’t use CPTs (yet) and doesn’t have that issue, so I don’t think
   that’s it…
 * Try a different theme, though, for a laugh.
