There is multiple issue. when we click to profile page of any user like http://www.examsbook.com/qa/user/morwal89 it also show 404 error.

Answer 1

To change URL structure change the option from Admin > General URL Structue. watch this video http://tv.q2amarket.com/tutorials/question2answer-general-settings-part-2/

For sitemap.xml 404 first check either  you have that file on the path or not.

 

Try to add/replace below rule to your WordPress .htaccess

Note: change your-q2a-directory with your Q2A directory name

DirectoryIndex index.php

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /your-q2a-directory/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)//(.*)$

RewriteRule . %1/%2 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^.*$ /qa/index.php?qa-rewrite=$0&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

</IfModule>

If you have other rules than replace only above rule to your existing file. I am explaining only with the default wordpress .htaccess file. You need to check further modification you have done with WP

Dude, this thing messup with wordpress now. other then home page know other page is loading. they go to site.com/qa/ directory. I think we have to have separate rules for wordpress and q2a

Thank you dude.. Fixed the issue. Please update your answer as we don't replace the  wordpress default rule. We should add the rule you suggestion in below to that.

Answer 2

I fixed this issue by adding the lines in wordpress default .htaccess file. 

DirectoryIndex index.php

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /your-q2a-directory/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)//(.*)$

RewriteRule . %1/%2 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^.*$ /qa/index.php?qa-rewrite=$0&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

</IfModule>

Note: change your-q2a-directory with your Q2A directory name
