Hi guys –

What is the section of code that I need to past into my .htaccess if my webserver cannot support +multiviews? I tried saving the whole file as .htaccess, but it didn’t work. Any ideas would be great, thanks!

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>

The above text should all be saved as a file called .htaccess in your forum root.

In the above example, the subfolder name is “forum” – you will need to edit that text is your bbPress install is in another location. Here for example it’s in a subfolder called “forums”. Change “forum” to your folder name and you should be good to go.

Good luck.

I’m using the private messaging plugin but now I have to add code to my .htaccess page. I’m stumped as to what to write because I don’t understand .htaccess. Could anyone translate this for me?

http://tapestry.suefeng.com/message?id=1

http://tapestry.suefeng.com/pm.php?new=1

The first link’s number changes for different messages. For example, the first message will have /message?id=1 and the second one will have /message?id=2.

The second link actually works fine…i guess it doesn’t need to be fixed but it’d be great if it could look differently.

Thanks for your time,

Sue
