I installed the latest bbPress version (1.0.2) and integrated in WordPress 2.8.4.

Everything seems working, but only the footer navigation with the “next page” links don’t work.

I think it is a conflict between the htaccess files of bbPress and WordPress.

If I switch Options -MultiViews to Options +MultiViews, the “next pages” work.

But from that moment the topic page redirects to /topic/17475/page/17475 (the latest number isn’t correct).

Anyone a solution? Thanks in advance.

Where have you installed WordPress and bbPress relative to each other, and what actually are your .htaccess settings for WordPress?

Mine is just:

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

which seems to hand over nicely to the forums that are under /forums/ with their own .htaccess file

I installed bbPress in the root of my website and WordPress is installed in the directory “/w”. Because I use WordPress functions in my bbPress theme I call the wp-blog-header.php in the bb-config.php with the following code:

if ( !defined('ABSPATH') & !defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST')) {

define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);

include_once( '/home/forum/test/html/w/wp-blog-header.php' );

header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");

header("Status: 200 All rosy"); }

My .htaccess settings for WordPress:

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /w/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /w/index.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

My .htaccess settings for bbPress:

# BEGIN bbPress

Options -MultiViews

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

# END bbPress

I hope you can help me. Thanks!!

Just out of curiousity, why are you sending headers from your bb-config? bbPress/Wordpress will handle this all on their own.

You also shouldn’t call the blog-header, it causes other problems you can read about around the forums. You should be calling wp-load.php and the following should be more than adequate for your bb-config;

define('WP_BB', TRUE);

if (! defined('DB_NAME'))

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/w/wp-load.php');



$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; // your wordpress db prefix is

$bb->wp_home = 'http://domain.tld';

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://domain.tld';

I don’t think this will solve your next page problem, as it looks like they’re being sent wrong from bbPress for whatever reason, but it will avoid a plethora of other problems before they become apparent.

Thanks for your reply. I copied your code and deleted my own code.

The WP things in my bbPress are still working, but the “next page” problem is there still too.

Anyone a solution for the “next page” problem?

Thanks in advance!!

[@annejan Member 15 years, 3 months ago]

I fixed it!

It was the WP-o-Matic plugin…
