Hello,

I’m working on re configuring an existing site that has a WP blog and a BBPress forum. One of the changes I’m doing, is making replacing our existing CMS with WordPress. I’ve changed permalinks to ‘Post name’, great.

The problem come in now that I’m trying to create a new WordPress page with the name ‘page_name’ with the url “http://www.mysite.com/page_name” however, there is a forum with the name ‘page_name’ already with a url of ‘http://www.mysite.com/forums/forum/page_name’ that seems to be consuming the permalink that I am trying to set for the page.

Is there anyway to configure BBPress to not consume the ‘/page_name’ permalink when it’s URL is ‘/forums/forum/page_name’

WordPress can only have one page titled page_name and use the slug page_name thus this then extends to bbPress.

I thought we had a bbPress ticket for this on Trac but I can’t find it right now https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org
