Found a fix, going to post if anybody else if having this issue. I ran npm remove nodebb-theme-vanilla then I installed it again with npm install nodebb-theme-vanilla and started the forums. Note: All of this was done after disabling all plugins and themes via the command line.

@Epic_Dinosaurz said: Currently when you rename a topic, it changes the url and deletes the old url. I think that a nice plugin/feature would be if the old url redirected to the new one. Thanks ~EpicDinosaurz It used to. But it meant that something else didn't work. So was removed. Baris made a post about it in a similar topic a few months ago.

I found a fix. It was an error in nodebb. When I did ./nodebb setup I made a typo in the port.. oops .-. Anyway its all good now.

@ChaosYamYT This plugin is incompatible with current versions of NodeBB. You could try opening an issue at the Github repo for the plugin, and asking the developer to fix it.
