Reply To: Any way to eliminate redundancy/weirdness in permalinks (i.e. “forums/forum”)?
No, it hasn’t been fixed yet. In fact, I don’t think there is even a trac ticket!
But if you read page 1 of this thread you’ll find that it has been an issue with users for more than 7 years and brought up repeatedly.
There is (was?) even a plugin created to address the issue. The devs did not respond when I asked whether this plugin addressed the issue and if so, would it be incorporated into core.
It seems that development for bbPress has basically stalled on all fronts:
http://www.ohloh.net/p/bbpress/commits/summary
look at the graph of commits! files modified in past 30 days: 14/month (avg for past year: 35 files per month) so dev activity has fallen by more than 50%
lines modified on avg per month in past year? 21,876
lines modified on avg for previous month? 21 (no not a typo, just 21)
I think this is because most of the same team works on both buddypress and bbpress and they have been paying attention to buddypress – which is fantastic! don’t get me wrong 🙂 but this means that bbpress development has been on ice basically.
Personally I think this issue should be the highest priority because there is nothing more fundamental than permalinks. And there is nothing more wrong than the way permalinks are being done right now with bbpress.
And don’t forget, this issue has been an ongoing thorn in the side of users for 7+ years and there was an attempted solution in the form of a plugin.
