Page slug cannot match forum slug?
-
Hello guys,
I’ve tried to search the forum, but i couldn’t find a similar question. I’m sorry if this is a double post anyway.
At the moment i’m having a website that runs WordPress with a mingle forum. I’m no longer happy with this forum, so my decision was to make use of bbPress and I’m checking this out now.
The problem i run into, is that i cannot have the same slug for pages, as I use for forums. Let’s say the slug i want to use is called ‘gaming’. The permalink displayed here is http://www.domain.com/forums/forum/gaming/. Now i want to add a page to WordPress about gaming. In this case it will rename the slug to gaming-2, as if the slug was already used by another page.
When i enter the URL http://www.domain.com/gaming/ it does redirect me to http://www.domain.com/forums/forum/gaming/. But I want the WordPress page to show up on the first URL and this specific forum only on the later.
I tried to look some further and found out both WP pages as BBP forums were saved in the ‘wp_posts‘ table. Editing the ‘post_name‘ column here solves my problem, but it would be nice if other administrators, without database permissions could get this done too.
I hope I just miss something obvious here, would be great if someone can help me out!
Cheers,
Hedgehog

Bump!
If my question is not clear, please let me know.
I’m running the latest version of both WordPress and bbPress (3.3.1 & 2.0.2).
