After going barefoot and wearing only shorts for over a week, it’s pure misery going back to socks, shoes, and pants.

Here’s where things grow
Mountains should be climbed with as little effort as possible and without desire. Then, when you’re no longer thinking ahead, each footstep isn’t just a means to an end but a unique event in itself. To live only for some future goal is shallow. It’s the sides of the mountains which sustain life, not the top. Here’s where things grow.

Improvements of ages
For the improvements of ages have had but little influence on the essential laws of man’s existence; as our skeletons, probably, are not to be distinguished from those of our ancestors.

Fixing 404 errors in bbPress 2.3 for non-admin users
Some days after upgrading to bbPress 2.3, it was brought to my attention that certain users could not access the forums on my site. They were receiving a 404 Not Found message.
I didn’t notice this because it wasn’t happening to me. It wasn’t even happening to anonymous users that aren’t logged in. In my limited testing, it appears that it was only happening to logged in users who had the role of Subscriber. Other roles such as Editor may have been affected, but I can’t be sure because I don’t have any of those on the site and did not test it.
I searched through the bbPress support forums and saw that other people were having this problem in previous versions, but I didn’t see that anybody had mentioned it for version 2.3. In a previous version, a user there had fixed his problem by running one of the bbPress admin tools. So I gave it a shot and it worked for me on this version.
If you’re having this kind of problem, try doing this in the WordPress admin to see if it helps you.
Tools > Forums > Remap existing users to default forum roles
On my small forums, it ran quickly and fixed the problem. Hopefully it’ll fix yours too.
