When I goto a page such as dailytestimony.net/forums/profile/user I get the main blogs 404 error page. Do I need something in a .htaccess file or something?</p> <p>EDIT: I get it with trying to view forums too, I am using name based permalinks.</p> <p>EDIT2: Ok it seems the answer is simple I just needed to RTD (Read The Documentation), Options +MultiViews<br /> &lt;rant&gt;IDK why they just couldn't distribute a .htaccess file with that line with bbpress. Save people the trouble because they mention it in the documentation here but at the verry least it should like to the documentation where you set permalink options. &lt;/rant&gt; </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/1and1-hosting-problem#post-16540 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 08:15:51 +0000 chrishajer 16540@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>It's funny. I have a bbPress forum at 1&#38;1, in a subdirectory of WordPress installation, and I never did get permalinks working (I last tried 18 months or so ago.)

It worked ! Thanks so much chrishajer. But I must add that I moved bbpress to a upper level above my WP install and used a sub domain for the forums.

If mof_rewrite would work out of the box (i.e.: if bbPress would create the file or dump the necessary content) I wouldn't need MultiViews.</p> <p>Here is one aspect I'd like to through in: URL Customization/Localization.</p> <p>When localizing URLs, it's very easy to do this via editing of mod_rewrite rules. All my bbPress installations are in german language, thus I want german URLs.</p> <p>When changing the wording in URLs, e.g. from "forum" to "board" or "topic" to "idea" etc., same thing - just edit the rewrite rules.</p> <p>How easy would it be to customize URLs with MultiViews in effect? Without having looked into the implementation, I would guess that it requires code changes.</p> <p>If URL customization is easier in mod_rewrite, please drop MultiViews. Otherwise, please document how URL customization can be done using MultiViews. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/dropping-multiviews-support#post-16344 Tue, 20 May 2008 07:25:29 +0000 bobbyh 16344@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I too vote to drop multiviews. However, if enough people depend on this, could permalinks be made pluggable so that a multiviews plugin could be written? If that's too much work, that's OK with me, just suggesting it as a compromise solution... </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/dropping-multiviews-support#post-16330 Mon, 19 May 2008 20:39:06 +0000 finalwebsites 16330@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I like multiviews, use it for WP too, write access to the .htaccess file will be a problem for many forums on shared hosting accounts (because a lot of them are not secure) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/using-rss-feeds#post-16259 Thu, 15 May 2008 15:29:09 +0000 ekitel 16259@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>yeah disabling it makes the feeds work fine, should of thought to try that myself, I'm wondering if there is any possible way to have feeds and keep the forums private at the same time, (have your cake and eat it too?) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/using-rss-feeds#post-16258 Thu, 15 May 2008 15:05:17 +0000 chrishajer 16258@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>It might be the plugin.

This thread has gone in a couple different directions. It started as RSS feeds but then whistler20 mentioned what he did with rewrite rules and his RSS feeds started working. I don't think the original problem was solved in that manner.</p> <p>Anyway, permalinks are not required for RSS feeds. If you are having a problem with RSS feeds I think the problem lies elsewhere. Are there actually content items posted that would be in the RSS feed? </p> <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/rss-result-is-empty#post-13982" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/rss-result-is-empty#post-13982</a></p> <p>Can you post a link to your forum?
