I run a bbPress install at http://justintadlock.com/forums.

My problem is that when I click to go to the next page or page 2 of a forum or topic, I am taken to the first page. So, users can’t access everything.

I use these calls in my template files:

forum_pages();

topic_pages();

The links show properly, but nothing happens.

I’m also using slug-based URLs but have tried all three options with no success.

My .htaccess file looks like this:

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4



Options +MultiViews

However, I’ve tried several different versions with no pagination success.

I also have this integrated into a WordPress install.

I’m at a loss at the moment and was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what might be causing this.

[Edit] Here’s an example page 2:

/page/2

I wonder if the forums/forum/ is messing things up? Slug based permalinks seem to be working fine.

You can add a line to your config.php to enable debugging and see some additional info which might help. This will be displayed at the top of your forum page:

REQUEST_URI:

should be:

full permalink:

PATH_INFO:

 

Set this in config.php, after the database connection details.

$bb->debug = 1;

Nice to see you working on it

I think it’s a rewrite problem, somehow. When you access the page 2 & page 3 the “old way” they come up:

http://justintadlock.com/forums/forum/forum.php?id=1&page=2

http://justintadlock.com/forums/forum/forum.php?id=1&page=3

BTW – great idea for a forum.

Here’s the results I got from the debugging. One thing I’ve noticed is that once I click on Page 2 (the URL changed to click on Page 2 again).
