Re: rawurlencode() Error
Well, I came up with an ugly fix, especially since I don’t actually know what I’m doing.
I’ve been trying to integrate the BBpress forum right inside my WP theme, which is what I imagine you were trying to do.
To fix it I added this switch right at the top of my bbpress template header:
$bbpressswitch = 1;
unset($_SERVER);
Then I went into classes.php for wordpress and put an if/else ‘switch’, basically:
The first line there is 1645 in my file
function build_query_string() {
$this->query_string = ”;
foreach ($this->public_query_vars as $wpvar) {
if (isset($this->query_vars[$wpvar]) && ” != $this->query_vars[$wpvar]) {
$this->query_string .= (strlen($this->query_string) < 1) ? ” : ‘&’;
// bug fix for BBpress integration
if ($bbpressswitch == 1) {
// $this->query_string .= $wpvar . ‘=’ . rawurlencode($this->query_vars[$wpvar]);
// if the url is being accessed from a page outside of WP that is using the header
// or other data, turn off this URL encoding.
} else {
$this->query_string .= $wpvar . ‘=’ . rawurlencode($this->query_vars[$wpvar]);
}
// end of bug fix
}
}
It’s ugly, and I’m a n00b at this stuff, but it does seem to have cleaned up my error. I guess the bbpress URL’s don’t work so good when sent through the WP URLencode setup, so turning them off when going into a BBpress page seemed like it might work.
I don’t know if there are any other repurcussions from this change, but again, it turned off the error, and I haven’t seen any fallout…yet.
There are other sites online that seem to offer a fix for the same issue, like this:
But the fix they suggest kills all of your static pages or category links and always sends you to the main blog page.
