i am trying to manage a bbpress forum in Persian (it is an RTL language) and i am facing some troubles.
apparently bbpress does not support RTL languages in URL so whenever i have anything Persian in my URL i get a 404 error on the page and as you know bbpress by default takes forum/topic name to URL (i can not tell everybody on the forum to write topic names in English) what i want to ask is one of these two:
* is there anyway to make bbpress support RTL language in URL?
* if not, how can i change Forum and Topic permalink from “topic/forum name” to “topic/forum ID” (so i don’t have anything Persian in URL)

thanks in advance for answers

Hi @roozbehrah, we try to fully support RTL languages.

The bbPress translations are an indicator of that, Hebrew and Arabic are also RTL languages and as far as I am aware there is no issues with URLs with these RTL languages.

There is also this plugin that uses numeric permalinks, i.e. “topic/forum ID”:

If you could add some further explanation and examples of how bbPress could support RTL locales and URLs better I’d be happy to add these improvements to bbPress 🙂
