Name-based pretty permalinks not working
-
- Posted 3 years ago #
Hi, there.
I have been able to get numeric pretty permalinks to work on my bbpress site (http://agitainment.com/ics/forum/) but not the name-based permalinks, which is what I'd like to have.
I'm using 1and1 hosting, and I followed the setup at http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks. I added Options -MultiViews to the top of the code generated by /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php in my .htaccess file (as detailed at http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/dropping-multiviews-support#post-16050). In addition I have set $bb->mod_rewrite = true in my bb-config.php. My forums are in the same database as WordPress.
Any idea on how to get the name based permalinks working?
Cheers.

Actually it's
Options +MultiViews
note the plus.But multiviews is not the preferered way of doing it and some hosts don't support multiviews.
Instead, use the method in step #3
Oh and most importantly,
$bb->mod_rewrite = true;
will only do numbers.$bb->mod_rewrite = "slugs";
does the full topic title. -

_ck_, I think the "Options -MultiViews" is a 1&1 specific thing (turning that off so you can use the good rewrite rules.)

You guys are awesome. Thanks!
Adding the "slugs" to my bb-config fixed the problem. I couldn't find anything like that in the instructions.
The "-Multiviews" is indeed the fix suggested for 1and1 hosting, and since it's working I'm guessing this is correct.
Problem resolved. Thanks again!
