If you write a new post in a new topic, after the submitting the form, you are redirected back to the forum's front page, instead of the forum you were on.

It redirects to home page.

However the URL structure of forums and topics always begin with "forum" or "topic". As in:</p> <p><code><a href="http://www.example.com/bbpress/forum/pets-discussions/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/bbpress/forum/pets-discussions/</a></code><br /> <code><a href="http://www.example.com/bbpress/topic/my-sweet-dog" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/bbpress/topic/my-sweet-dog</a></code></p> <p>So it would seem that it should be possible to remove the "bbpress" from the URL without interfering with a Wordpress installation.</p> <p>Having said that, I think the solution proposed in the thread I referred to in my last post (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/nicer-slug-url-rewrite-plugin-done) is a much more elegant solution for shortening the bbPress URLs. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum#post-16040 Wed, 07 May 2008 21:20:37 +0000 chrishajer 16040@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>It could work like that I think if there were no website (like WordPress) in the www root. Otherwise, how does the server know it's a bbPress page vs. a WordPress page?</p> <p>If you are running a forum only on a domain, then it would be silly to have it in any sort of directory at all. Otherwise, if you have a website in the root, you have to put bbPress into some sort of directory to prevent confusion. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum#post-16038 Wed, 07 May 2008 20:55:09 +0000 mrhoratio 16038@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Just found an earlier thread which hits on a similar problem with shortening the bbPress URL:</p> <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/nicer-slug-url-rewrite-plugin-done" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/nicer-slug-url-rewrite-plugin-done</a></p> <p>In the thread's example. In shows you how to shorten a url like:</p> <p><code><a href="http://www.example.com/bbpress/forum/pets-discussions/topic/my-sweet-dog" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/bbpress/forum/pets-discussions/topic/my-sweet-dog</a></code></p> <p>to: </p> <p><code><a href="http://www.example.com/bbpress/pets-discussions/my-sweet-dog" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/bbpress/pets-discussions/my-sweet-dog</a></code></p> <p>Now, if it could also be shortened to:</p> <p><code><a href="http://www.example.com/pets-discussions/my-sweet-dog" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/pets-discussions/my-sweet-dog</a></code></p> <p>That would be even better. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum#post-16034 Wed, 07 May 2008 19:52:04 +0000 mrhoratio 16034@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi Bobby, yes I added those lines to the .htaccess file as well.

Here's what I did:</p> <p>I have my bbPress directory installed in a directory called "forums" in the root web directory. So the URL to access the forums' home page is:</p> <p><code><a href="http://www.example.com/forums" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/forums</a></code></p> <p>and accessing a forum titled "test forum" is at this URL:</p> <p><code><a href="http://www.example.com/forums/forum/test-forum" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/forums/forum/test-forum</a></code></p> <p>a topic titled "test topic" is at this URL:</p> <p><code><a href="http://www.example.com/forums/topic/test-forum" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/forums/topic/test-forum</a></code></p> <p>I implemented your hack, and changed "forum" to "board" in the template-functions.php. I copied the rewrite rules from rewrite-rules.php and placed them into .htaccess file in the root web directory. I also added the two lines of code you suggested in that file:</p> <pre><code>RewriteRule ^board/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum.php?id=$1&#38;page=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^board/(.+)/?$ /forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]</code></pre> <p>I also tried adding this to the rewrite-rules.php:</p> <pre><code>RewriteRule ^board/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ &lt;?php bb_option( &#39;path&#39; ); ?&gt;topic.php?id=$1&#38;page=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^board/([^/]+)/?$ &lt;?php bb_option( &#39;path&#39; ); ?&gt;topic.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]</code></pre> <p>When I go to this URL: </p> <p><code><a href="http://www.example.com/board/test-forum" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/board/test-forum</a></code></p> <p>I get a 404 error.</p> <p>However, when I go to this url:</p> <p><code><a href="http://www.example.com/forums/forum/test-forum/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/forums/forum/test-forum/</a></code></p> <p>It redirects and changes the URL in the address bar in the browser window changes:</p> <p><code><a href="http://www.example.com/forums/board/test-forum/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/forums/board/test-forum/</a></code></p> <p>That also brings up a 404 page.</p> <p>Also, when I go this URL:</p> <p><code><a href="http://www.example.com/topic/test-topic" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/topic/test-topic</a></code></p> <p>The URL works, but it redirects and changes the URL in the address bar in the browser window changes to:</p> <p><code><a href="http://www.example.com/forums/topic/test-forum" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/forums/topic/test-forum</a></code></p> <p>I am a little perplexed as to what is going on. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum#post-16025 Wed, 07 May 2008 17:03:49 +0000 bobbyh 16025@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I wanted the forum-specific URLs to look like this:</p> <p>* <a href="http://boards.weddingbee.com/board/beehive" rel="nofollow">http://boards.weddingbee.com/board/beehive</a></p> <p>If you make the right edits to that core file and an htaccess file, I think the URL can be anything you want... </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum#post-16024 Wed, 07 May 2008 17:01:25 +0000 mrhoratio 16024@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hey bobby, just curious. Why did you have to change the second "forum" to "board"? Is there anyway to just leave it as "forum"? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum#post-16020 Wed, 07 May 2008 09:19:42 +0000 bobbyh 16020@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I did something similar, but it required a core hack. I renamed the second "forum" to "board". It required two steps:</p> <p>1. With version 0.8.3, I modified line 363 of /bb-includes/template-functions.php to this:</p> <p><code>$link = bb_get_option( &#39;uri&#39; ) . &quot;board/&quot; . $forum-&gt;$column . ( 1 &lt; $page ? &quot;/page/$page&quot; : &#39;&#39; );</code></p> <p>2. I created an htaccess file by copying the text from /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php, with two extra lines:</p> <pre><code>RewriteRule ^board/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum.php?id=$1&#38;page=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^board/(.+)/?$ /forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]</code></pre> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum#post-16017 Wed, 07 May 2008 03:26:48 +0000 mrhoratio 16017@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hey, I'm trying to figure this out also.
