Hi

This topic is posted on 2 places :

– bbpress.org forum

– premium.wpmudev.org community support forum

While working on a site to be launched on the same day (= I had to have it working

I discovered something interesting

BBpress second level forum (= with a parent forum/category) also in the permalink, will result in page not found.

I searched for this issue and came across a few topics, where it was advised to reapply the permalinks, then save again the BBpress settings, where we set the slugs.

I tried everything there and still the same issue, but it was clearly an issue with rewrite.

So I begun to deactivate every other plugin I have and after every deactivation I tried if second level forums were loading. I thought specifically about security plugins such as Wordfence, Better WPSecurity, but nope.

Finally, it was when ******I deactivated wpmudev’s Pro Sites plugin, that the second level forums were loading.*******

I tried another forum plugin but really I will need BBPress (big amount of subforums necessary on this website)

now I made some tests, and to make short :

– if Pro Sites activated :

-> 1st level forum will work

-> 2nd level forum will not work

– if Pro Sites is deactivated :

-> 1st level forum will work

-> 2nd level forum will work and can be reached with those 2 url

A: example.com/forums/forum/level1/level2

B: example.com/forums/forum/level2

(forums/forum beeing the slugs set in Forums settings page)

is it normal we can reach with 2 different permalinks?

***** and as it changes automatically, is there a way to force (in BBPress code) a subforum permalink to stay 1st level even if in a sublevel? would be interesting also in the case a forum is moved to another category then it wouldn’t change url ***** (and at the same time it would solve/hide the issue with Pro Sites)

so cleary this is a rewrite stuff that goes beyond my knowledge, for info my permalinks are set to the second option /2012/06/07/exemple-article/ and .htaccess present with necessary change in it

I use also buddypress on that site but didn’t go until desactivate it as it worked when I deactivated Pro Site,

the site I was working on has buddypress, but not the groups and forum elements checked, forum beeing BBpress anyway (I also tried to check/uncheck forums in buddypress settings, really not related to the issue)

so I was thinking to install a testsite with only vanilla WP Multisite and buddypress, as I need all my tests done that way

+ for this issue : Pro Sites and BBPress

so if there is anything you tell me to try, it will be done

thank you very much in advance (anybody, eveybody

Hi again,

that issue is solved as one of the WPMUdev staff developer solved the issue on their plugin, they added

global $wp_query;

to a function

and replaced :

get_queried_object_id()

with :

$wp_query->queried_object_id

in the same function

(WPMUdev is going to release an update of the Pro Sites plugin I guess, for details, see this topic’s comment http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/pro-sites-incompatibility-with-bbpress?replies=15#post-234125)

I come back here to inform about it, in case someone else encounter the same issue (I saw a lot of “page not found” issues while searching BBPress forums), then it would maybe help to see which kind of code made conflict?

(I don’t know, I’m not a coder)

of course I still do not understand purely on BBPress how is it possible to have 2 possible permalinks for 1 subforum

either : example.com/forums/forum/level1/level2

or : example.com/forums/forum/level2

both url work, and this is not standard I think, anyway…

in any case, this issue is solved for me
