Good Morning all,

This is an issue I have had present on my bbPress forum ever since I moved away from Apache, and onto lighttpd. The difference is, I have to add the rules manually to get them to work. Anyway, here is what I currently have in my .htaccess equivalent:

# This is mainly a fix for bbPress and its functions
url.rewrite = (
    "^//(wp-admin|wp-includes|wp-content|gallery2)/(.*)" => "$0",
    "^//(.*)\.(.+)$" => "$0",
    "^//(.+)/?$" => "/index.php/$1"
  )
}

Unfortunately, whenever I try to perform an action on a post (e.g anything that utilises the “?action” URL argument), it redirects back to the post. E.g:

http://rockstarwire.net/community/thread/yrs/edit/?action=merge – Will navigate to the edit post page.
http://rockstarwire.net/community/thread/bbcodes-have-been-temporarily-disabled/?action=bbp_toggle_topic_close&topic_id=983 – Will navigate to the post again. (and won’t close the topic)

Now I am pretty sure this is going to be something to do with the URL redirects, infact, I am almost positive that will be the case.

Could anyone assist with this one?

Thanks

I could really only find posts that were talking about bbPress v1 standalone. I did find a post that was in 2012, which I think the bbPress plugin was around then. You can study the code and see if it would work.

The page is in another language though.

As I expected, was something to do with the rewrite rules. Was a very simple fix, I simply started messing with the rewrite until it worked. This is how mine works flawlessly should anyone have the same issur and somehow stumble across this thread.

Note: This is for lighttpd. This is not an Apache or Nginx solution.

# This is mainly a fix for bbPress and its functions
url.rewrite = (
    "^/(wp-admin|wp-includes|wp-content|gallery2)/(.*)" => "$0",
    "^/(.*)\.(.+)$" => "$0",
    "^/(.+)/?$" => "/index.php/$1"
  )
}

All I did here was remove the additional forward slash within each rule.

Now my links work perfectly!

Glad you got it to work. 🙂
