That was too simple to take this long to resolve. _ck_ on "Pretty Permalinks Not Working" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pretty-permalinks-not-working/page/2#post-17342 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:51:49 +0000 _ck_ 17342@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Wait, so was this ever resolved after a year? 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. Remember you still need the local htaccess for bbpress in it's own folder. sambauers on "Pretty Permalinks Not Working" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pretty-permalinks-not-working/page/2#post-16138 Mon, 12 May 2008 01:55:06 +0000 sambauers 16138@http://bbpress.org/forums/ @ stitchadoodle The rules are output to screen when you go to <a href="http://example.com/bb/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/bb/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php</a> Obviously replace example.com with your domain. stitchadoodle on "Pretty Permalinks Not Working" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pretty-permalinks-not-working/page/2#post-15966 Sun, 04 May 2008 21:41:38 +0000 stitchadoodle 15966@http://bbpress.org/forums/ **update**: just found <a href="http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks</a> after looking for days, don't know why it took so long to find. this did the trick! ---------------------------- Also having a problem with pretty permalinks. i am on bluehost with the following: wordpress 2.5.1 installed at example.com/blog bbpress 0.9.0.2 installed at example.com/bb i do have my wp akismet key applied in bbpress, but other than that no wp integration. bbpress works fine until i activate pretty permalinks. at that time, i can see all of my topics & stuff, but i just get 404 when i try to get to them. here's an interesting thing i discovered: both installed to my site via SimpleScripts. 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?

When I run my bbpress with a url through a directory under my domain (drewstylz.com/forums), using permalinks works ok. But when I try to run bbpress through a subdomain url (forums.drewstylz.com), the permalinks don't work at all. They are generated correctly but clicking on any permalink only brings me to the forum home page. Running bbpress without permalinks does still work however. I've tried following the FAQ but neither of the options have worked. I do have wordpress installed in the root directory of my domain and bbpress in a subdirectory so I'm thinking that may be the issue but I don't know which part would be affecting it. I've also tried renaming the .htaccess file in my root directory and then following the suggestions from the FAQ but when I disable the .htaccess file in the root folder, clicking on the permalinks just brings me to a "url not found" page. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do? I can post my .htaccess files if necessary. I've left my current bbpress configuration with the problem if anyone wants to take a quick look. <a href="http://forums.drewstylz.com/" rel="nofollow">http://forums.drewstylz.com/</a> serimu on "Pretty Permalinks Not Working" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pretty-permalinks-not-working#post-8688 Wed, 04 Jul 2007 16:01:05 +0000 serimu 8688@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hi, I just checked this subject again, and I want to say my solution: I moved my site to another hosting provider. drift82 on "Pretty Permalinks Not Working" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pretty-permalinks-not-working#post-8672 Tue, 03 Jul 2007 03:28:00 +0000 drift82 8672@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Turns out my problem was rewrite rules from wordpress overwriting bbpress ones.
