Hi I am having an issue with my forum URL rewrite rules/slugs/permalinks.
At the moment I am testing this in my dev environment.
I have a page that is called FORUM and contains my recent topic and forum shortcodes. This page is located at localhost/sitename/forum

My slug settings are:
Archive Slugs
Forums base: forum
Topics base: topics

Single Slugs
Forum Prefix ticked
Forum slug: forums
Topic slug: topic
Topic tag slug: topic-tag
Reply slug: reply
User slug: user
Topic view slug: view

When I navigate to a forum the URL looks like this:

http://localhost/sitename/forum/forums/butterflies/

When I navigate to a topic inside that forum, the URL looks like this:

http://localhost/sitename/forum/topic/test-topic/

When I reply to a topic, the URL rewrites to this:

http://localhost/sitename/forum/forums/butterflies/#post-158277

So obviously this is an incorrect URL and just takes me back to the forum home page with the list of recent topics.

How can I make the URL format be consistent? Something like:
http://localhost/sitename/forum/forum-name/test-topic/#post-158277

Thanks

I modified the code in includes/common/template-tags.php as outlined on this page and (for now) it seems to have fixed the issue.

`
function bbp_redirect_to_field( $redirect_to = ” ) {

// Rejig the $redirect_to
//if ( !isset( $_SERVER[‘REDIRECT_URL’] ) || ( !$redirect_to == home_url( $_SERVER[‘REDIRECT_URL’] ) ) )
// $redirect_to = wp_get_referer();

// Make sure we are directing somewhere
if ( empty( $redirect_to ) )
$redirect_to = home_url( isset( $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] ) ? $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] : wp_get_referer() );

// Remove loggedout query arg if it’s there
$redirect_to = (string) esc_attr( remove_query_arg( ‘loggedout’, $redirect_to ) );
$redirect_field = ”;

echo apply_filters( ‘bbp_redirect_to_field’, $redirect_field, $redirect_to );
}
`

Initially it wasn’t working because I didn’t remove the //Rejig the redirect part (can’t believe I didn’t see it the first time).

Now my question is, where (and how) would I put this modified function to stop any future updates from overwriting it?

I tried using add_filter(‘bbp_redirect_to_field’) in my bbpress-functions file but it makes the site really slow. Is there a better way to do it?

`
add_filter(‘bbp_redirect_to_field’, ‘bbp_redirect_to_field_filter’);

/**
* Filter to fix the reply redirects
**/
function bbp_redirect_to_field_filter( $redirect_to = ” ) {

// Make sure we are directing somewhere
if ( empty( $redirect_to ) )
$redirect_to = home_url( isset( $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] ) ? $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] : wp_get_referer() );

// Remove loggedout query arg if it’s there
$redirect_to = (string) esc_attr( remove_query_arg( ‘loggedout’, $redirect_to ) );
$redirect_field = ”;

echo apply_filters( ‘bbp_redirect_to_field’, $redirect_field, $redirect_to );
}

With what you patched via #1835.diff that is the same as what was committed to /trunk in r4533 and is included in the upcoming bbPress 2.3.

Same problem for me as for@iamnotadoll :/ But rewriting .php just made my site blank.
BBpress 2.5.4 version tho

I’m having an issue with redirects after replying to a post, too.

I’ve noticed that most of the time, it seems to work OK – if you post, it submits and you are redirect back to the post you just submitted (ie the new ‘last post’ in the topic).

However, it looks as though there are issues when it comes to dealing with pagination.

For example, getting to the end of a topic with the following URI:

/forums/topic/name-of-topic/page/155/

The redirect after submitting a reply is:

/forums/topic/name-of-topic/#post-599473

So basically, the pagination slugs seem to have been stripped. As a result, the poster is directed back to the first page of the topic.

Is anyone else able to reproduce this?
