I think it has to do with the permalink style. I had numeric permalinks before. If i Change it to “post name” permalinks i think the original code works.
Okay, i got it working and it’s awesome! (although a bit buggy)
After backing up the bbpress folder, I basically left the existing bbpress plugin running and activated, and just copied the 2.1 plugin contents into the existing plugin folders.
One bug i caught is that there is no beginning slash for the “EDIT” Link in topics for the admin, so I went in the code and added that.
This change was made in bbp-topic-template.php at line 2199
if ( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ) {
$url = $topic_link . $bbp->edit_id;
$url = trailingslashit( $url );
i changed it to
if ( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ) {
$url = $topic_link . ‘/’. $bbp->edit_id;
$url = trailingslashit( $url );
hi jaredatch ,
The reason it’s not holding back Vanilla is because while Vanilla doesn’t have a good wysiwyg editor by default, it has good, working ones
which are easily installed through plugins.
BBpress 2.0 currently does not. It doesn’t even support bbcode natively.
Anyways, I do appreciate your suggestion — this functionality is very important so im willing to experiment with a pre release version of bbpress.
I’ve downloaded the bbpress plugin you pointed to and backed up my existing bbpress plugin folder.
Now, how do i install this bbpress 2.1 without breaking my existing bbpress 2.0 forums?
