Changing the permalink: replacing “topics” with “discussions”

    Hi,

    I have searched the forums but haven’t really found a proper answer/solution for this.

    Since our forums use the term “discussion” instead of “topic,” we would like to change that part of the permalink from /topics/ to /discussions/, as in:

    domain.com/topics/
    domain.com/discussions/

    For everything else we’re using a custom permalink plugin.

    Thanks for any help!

    should be

    dashboard>settings>forums>forum single slugs>topic

    or

    dashboard>settings>forums>forum user slugs>topics started

    Hey Robin,

    Thanks for the quick response.

    I should probably have mentioned that this is a BuddyBoss installation. Here’s what’s available from the permalink settings. The slug for the discussions list view is the one that seems to be missing . . .

    Forum: forum
    Discussion: discussion
    Discussion Tag: discussion-tag
    Discussion View: discussions
    Reply: reply
    Search: search

    Thanks again.

    I also think there’s a misunderstanding: I’m not looking to change the slug for a single discussion—that’s all there. I’d like to change the slug for the discussions list view.

    We have “domain.com/forums/” and “domain.com/topics/.”

    It should be “domain.com/forums/” and “domain.com/discussions/.”

    Single forums and discussions look like this:

    domain.com/forum/title/
    domain.com/discussion/title/

    buddyboss is a paid plugin that ties to the free open source bbpress and buddypress plugins. As such I can’t help further, suggest you contact their support.

    Yeah I’m aware of that. I also wasn’t asking for support with the BuddyBoss platform. I actually thought there’d be a fairly simple way to rename the slug–completely independent from it, because I don’t believe it’s BuddyBoss-related at all. Thanks anyway.

    the only bbpress related settings are the ones I quoted above.

    on my test site

    dashboard>settings>forums>forum user slugs>topics started

    changes the topics list view.

    so if I amend this to ‘dicsussions’ then domain.com/discussions/ works.
