Reply To: Permalinks in replies lead to the wrong page
ok, some late night thinking….
bbpress just uses the WordPress function that finds and shows posts (bbpress forums, topics and replies are just posts with a custom post type!).
So I’m thinking that the ‘find matches’ wordpress part is finding x number of replies, but then the ‘display part’ is finding one less/more to display, then at that point the page count gets to be wrong.
This is just a guess at the moment, but as you are seeing issues with other topics that are not all ‘page 8’ I don’t think it is a pure maths issue.
So my current hypothesis is that there is an item that is in the database as a match, but there is not a corresponding item to display – this could be for lots of reasons.
If you go to your link but page 7, from the post numbered 120998 with text ‘AnTiHrIsTiS — Kingpin: Life of Crime (PC)’ this entry on page 7 has a link of
/steam-records/page/8#120998
If my thinking is correct (and it is probably wrong!) I’d guess it is at this point that the permalinks start to go wrong.
So if you change the replies per page from 14 to 13, does it still start to go wrong from that same post number, or does it start to go wrong from another post number.
This will help us narrow down what the issue might be.
