With WordPress in the root and bbPress in a sub-directory (ie. /forums/) can they both have pretty permalinks? I have an idea if not - simple edit the webroot wordpress htaccess like so: <pre><code><IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/forums/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule></code></pre> where <code>/forums/</code> is the install path of bbpres underneath wordpress.

WP works fine, but bb appears to have no .htaccess file at all. i do see one in attached to a theme, but that's it, and apparently not useful there. since this seems to be the issue, sort of narrowed down, i created an .htaccess file using the code shown by jethro, but i know there's something missing. it didn't break my site, but i couldn't even get to admin area to see if i could make the permalinks work. i'm not a programmer, but if anyone can tell me what code i need to have in the .htaccess file, i can make the file and upload it. thanks! jethrokapinksy on "Pretty Permalinks Not Working" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pretty-permalinks-not-working/page/2#post-15882 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 07:06:31 +0000 jethrokapinksy 15882@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Ok, I just realized that what worked for me only applied to a 'clean' top-level install, and what people are having issues with is installing bbpress in example.com/forums/, because example.com's .htaccess is over-riding example.com/forums/ 's .htaccess file. So here's my example.com (permalinks work great): <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> chmod: 644 And here's my example.com/forums .htaccess content: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /forum/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(.*)?$ /forum/$1.php [PT,QSA] </IfModule> Any ideas?

Do you prefer Slugs or one of the ugly choices? Personally, I feel that slugs are better for SEO, but I can see that the URL's could get pretty long quite quickly.

PHP is using version 4.4.7 The .htaccess uses the code generated with <a href="http://make2for1.com//bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php" rel="nofollow">http://make2for1.com//bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php</a> and nothing else. The config is the sample file with all the appropriate blanks filled in and nothing more. $bb->mod_rewrite = 'slugs'; is set. Trying to get to a profiles produces a 404. Trying to read a discussion produces a 404. If I change $bb->mod_rewrite = false; it works. djuggler on "Pretty Permalinks Not Working" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pretty-permalinks-not-working/page/2#post-12810 Thu, 20 Dec 2007 19:42:42 +0000 djuggler 12810@http://bbpress.org/forums/ This is the most recent .htaccess based upon /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/?$ /forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^topic/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /topic.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^topic/([^/]+)/?$ /topic.php?id=$1 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^tags/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /tags.php?tag=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^tags/([^/]+)/?$ /tags.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^tags/?$ /tags.php [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /profile.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/?$ /profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^view/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /view.php?view=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^view/([^/]+)/?$ /view.php?view=$1 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^rss/?$ /rss.php [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^rss/forum/([^/]+)/?$ /rss.php?forum=$1 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^rss/topic/([^/]+)/?$ /rss.php?topic=$1 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^rss/tags/([^/]+)/?$ /rss.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^rss/profile/([^/]+)/?$ /rss.php?profile=$1 [L,QSA] </IfModule> I also tried: Options +MultiViews And here's the config.php <?php // ** MySQL settings ** // define('BBDB_NAME', 'CORRECT'); // The name of the database define('BBDB_USER', 'CORRECT'); // Your MySQL username define('BBDB_PASSWORD', 'CORRECT'); // ...and password define('BBDB_HOST', 'CORRECT'); // 99% chance you won't need to change these last few define('BBDB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old config.php does define('BBDB_COLLATE', ''); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them // If you are installing for the first time, leave them here // Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database. $bb_table_prefix = 'bb_'; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please! // The full URL of your bbPress install $bb->uri = 'http://talk.tnlotteryresults.com/'; // What are you going to call me? $bb->name = 'Discuss the Tennessee Lottery'; // This must be set before you run the install script. $bb->admin_email = 'juggler@gmail.com'; // Set to true if you want pretty permalinks, set to 'slugs' if you want to use slug based pretty permalinks. $bb->mod_rewrite = 'slugs'; // The number of topics that show on each page. $bb->page_topics = 30; // A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting. $bb->edit_lock = 60; // Your timezone offset.
