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>

yes. i installed that plugin available available in Q2A. so it should not show any error..
Still i am not able to find solution for this.
As alternative u can suggest how i can install a site map.

As i understand, when ever we have any url other then site.com/qa/index.php?xyz
like http://www.examsbook.com/qa/user/morwal89 then we get 404.
I guess it have something to do with .htaccess file.

I think you are running Q2A with WordPress SSO??? and your Q2A is in sub directory of the WordPress like www.yourwpsite.com/q2a

You may need to update your WordPress .htaccess file. Try to search here in my answer I have already given answer for that somewhere.

ya.. i am setting up with wordpress. and in subdirectory as http://www.examsbook.com/qa/ .  i understand there wud be changes in .htaccess file. that video show nothing. what are the changes i need to make

---

I visited and watch all videos and read blogs on your site. No information at all about this issue. Sir please help.

---

check my modified answer..

---

should i edit .htaccess  file wordpress or in q2afolder.

---

If WP is the main site on the root like www.wpsite.com and q2a is in sub directory like www.wpsite.com/q2a than you should add above rule to WordPress .htaccess file. Before you replace existing, take backup. than replace this rule with existing.

---

Ok. i will try. Hope it will not break anything in wordpress. .htacces file of wordpress have lots of other rules for browser caching

---

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.

when i open user prfile page User morwal89
then it show only box for activity box. It does not show user information box and user wall. And how to activate PM

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
