Thank you, that works perfectly! 🙂
Thank you for your patience and help. I really appreciate it!
I have managed to analyse the subpage urls further and have verified that get_permalink() gives the correct urls which matches the browser address line.
get_page_link() doesn’t do this.
So thanks for suggesting to use get_permalink() instead of get_page_link().
But I still don’t know why it is not doing the same thing on the forum root page.
I mentioned I had tried get_permalink() above, below the post where you first suggested it and said it didn’t match.
This is what I am getting on the root forum page:
the displayed url: mywebsite.com/qaforums/
the get_page_link: mywebsite.com/forum_name3/
the get_permalink: mywebsite.com/qaforums/forum/forum_name3/
However, when I try and view these on any subpages of mywebsite.com/qaforums/, nothing is returned. I don’t know why.
I am just trying to understand how the plugin works and why the php code is not giving the correct url that matches what is visible in the browser. I have tried your suggestions but I still can’t determine why the urls being generated by either get_page_link() or get_permalink() are different to the ones being displayed in the browser address line.
My original questions above.
How do we address this question to the plugin authors?
I haven’t tried adding an extra forum to test it. I am just assuming it defaults to the highest forum ID, which is what it is currently doing.
I don’t think that is necessary. Using the example you have used above, you would have to change the bold part each time a new forum is added.
if (get_page_link() == ‘mywebsite.com/forum_name3/forum_name3/’)
How could this be avoided?
The only trouble with this solution is, it is not permanent. You would need to the change the code each time a new forum is added.
Thanks!
However, is_bbpress() only seems to be true if you are on the root forum page.
How can I test for any forum page?
I tried
echo get_permalink();
on a forum page, but it does not display anything. It does display it on the root forum page, but it does not match the root forum page permalink. It again shows the highest Forum ID permalink instead.
Presumably the page is being created in code and is overwriting the content of the current forum page.
Any further suggestions?
How do I post a url as simply text, without it changing into a url when I submit?
Sorry, I certainly value those who volunteer their time and help out others. I truly thank them. I was simply asking a question how long it took to approve a post. I will repost. Thanks!
