bbPress permalinks by default is:

• /forums/topic/TOPIC_SLUG/
• /forums/forum/FORUM_SLUG/

How to replace topic- and forum- slugs to their ID’s?

• /forums/topic/TOPIC_ID/
• /forums/forum/FORUM_ID/

I need this because I have cyrillic letters in topic names (and slugs).

Current link:

http://ru.forums.wordpress.org/topic/Пустая-страница-1?replies=3

After copy and send on Twitter, Facebook..:

http://ru.forums.wordpress.org/topic/

I try fix it and write rewrite rule (and flush, yep).

add_rewrite_rule('^/forum/topic/(\d+)/?$','index.php?topic_id=$matches[1]','top');

But after visiting /forum/topic/814 (814 topic id is exists) redirect to home page happening.

Not my strong area, but I think if you reset them in

Dashboard>settings>permalinks and change to the default that should work, or doesn’t it?

[Kolya Korobochkin]

I flush them every time after edit my plugin.

This is my plugin — https://gist.github.com/korobochkin/d08268ce58cc65517756

Now, this links work:

1. /forums/forum/ID/page/2/
2. /forums/forum/ID/
3. /forums/forum/ID/edit/
4. /forums/topic/ID/page/2/
5. /forums/topic/ID/
6. /forums/topic/ID/edit/

But link /forums/topic/tag/tag_name/ not work. If I disable my plugin and flush rules this tag link not work too.

[Kolya Korobochkin]

In file bbpress.php I find this code:

// Topic-View Pagination|Feed|View
add_rewrite_rule( $view_slug . $paged_rule, 'index.php?' . $view_id . '=$matches[1]&' . $paged_id . '=$matches[2]', $priority );

add_rewrite_rule( $view_slug . $feed_rule,  'index.php?' . $view_id . '=$matches[1]&' . $feed_id  . '=$matches[2]', $priority );

add_rewrite_rule( $view_slug . $root_rule,  'index.php?' . $view_id . '=$matches[1]',                               $priority );

What is it? What is feed? /forums/view/feed not open.

[Kolya Korobochkin]

Ok. I change something. Stable version 🙂

[Robin W]

Thanks for posting the result 🙂 I’ve note the code location in case this comes up again !

[Kolya Korobochkin]

Yep. Maybe it’s time to make a first public plugin for wordpres.com?

But question about feed is still actual. What is feed in bbPress? (see previous messages)

[Robkk]

What is feed in bbPress?

RSS feed

[Stephen Edgar]

This is neat, thanks for sharing your code @korobochkin

[hjrhclan]

great!

[pooledge]

this one indeed makes its job – links are re-generated just fine!

but unfortunately i’m getting the 404 page on click of every such link. is there any specific option to be set in permalinks section or am i missing something?

i’ve tried to kick permalink settings to default and then back to custom with /%postname% with no luck. every time 404 is displayed i also see the path string to kolya’s plugin

here is a working draft: http://www.pooledge.hol.es/pup4b
forum topics are on the right sidebar in the second list

thank you in advance for any input

[Kolya Korobochkin]

Guys. I make the repo for plugin on github, checkout the latest version with some fixes:
https://github.com/korobochkin/bbPress-permalinks-with-id (and russian translation included).

@pooledge don’t quite understand what you talking about. On my forum links with parameters works great with this plugin. For example:

http://selenaselena.ru/community/talks/talk/14579/ — simply topic
http://selenaselena.ru/community/talks/talk/14579/edit/ — edit topic, for admins only, but not 404 🙂
http://selenaselena.ru/community/talks/talk/14579/?bbp_reply_to=14806&_wpnonce=0fe9ee9c36#new-post — write reply to some user.

[Kolya Korobochkin]

BTW, issue with cyrillic links also on ru.forums.wordpress.org. And all time then I copy link I can’t send it in twitter or with message on facebook. Ok. Some browsers encode cyrilic letters:

original:
https://ru.forums.wordpress.org/topic/Пустая-страница-1?replies=3

encoded:
https://ru.forums.wordpress.org/topic/%D0%9D%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BE%D1%87%D0%B8%D0%B5-%D1%81%D1%81%D1%8B%D0%BB%D0%BA%D0%B8-%D0%BD%D0%B0-ruforumswordpressorg

but not Safari.

Привет, нажми любую из тем форума на http://www.pooledge.hol.es/pup4b
Это явно не в плагине дело, а что-то у меня

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for adding this to a GitHub repo, I’ll take a closer look later.

The issue with the permalinks on ru.forums.wordpress.org is indeed known, details are here:
https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/121

Most likely rather than fix this in bbPress 1.x we will look to add your plugin (if needed) when we upgrade all the international forums to bbPress 2.x.

[Kolya Korobochkin]

@netweb wow you remember everything!

@pooledge я думаю это потому что у тебя в адресе:

/pup4b/форумы

И мой совет, как человека, который пробовал бесплатный хостинг в Hostinger – купи нормальный хостинг за 150 рублей в месяц хотя бы и не мучайся. У них сайты вечно падают, я брал бесплатное демо ради интереса – ужаснулся.

[pooledge]

Спасибо! Жалко, что так неуниверсально.
А хостингер – прекрасный хостинг, если за него заплатить. Бесплатный, как известно, лишь сыр.

Regarding the 404 failure while visiting re-generated topic URLs, Kolya suggested it might be a cyrillic “mixin” like http://www.myawsomenewforum.ru/форум/topic/51156/
Unfortunately switching all forum slugs to latin like (www.myawsomenewforum.ru/forum/topic/51156/) doesn’t do the trick, it’s still 404 for me.

I am sorry for bothering you. Being so helpless is truly awful.

[Kolya Korobochkin]

Так а зачем ты пишешь в адресе “форум”, если хочешь с помощью моего плагина избавиться от других букв с помощью моего плагина?

Попробуй выключить все плагины, а потом зайти на страницу /wp-admin/options-permalink.php и “Сохранить изменения”, чтобы сделать flush для ссылок на всякий случай. Должно заработать.

У Купертино, например, 2 месяца бесплатного хостинга и работает все отлично. Хостингер постоянно падает, при попытке установить плагины вылетал и т. п. Если демо было говном, то сам продукт уже вряд ли хороший.

[Stephen Edgar]

Благодаря 😉

[pooledge]

Yes, I am sorry we kinda forgot this forum is mostly in English still 😉
Kolya’s advice to flush permalinks while deactivating all plugins and so on combinations, .trashing and recreating .htaccess didn’t work out yet, must be something with my bbPress but I have a long autumn night going ahead which is nice..

[Kolya Korobochkin]

Oh. So without my plugin your forum work? And you use latest version from Git or not?

[pooledge]

Positive and positive. Now I’ve just made a clean install in English and set permalinks to postname. All works just fine, but right after activating the plugin all new nicely regenerated urls such as domain.com/forums/forum/11 or domain.com/forums/topic/13/ lead to 404. Unchecking forums/ prefix and flushing permalink settings doesn’t help. My wordpress installation directory is domain root, bbPress installed via plugin.

Maybe I can help you by providing more technical details from somewhere?

[Kolya Korobochkin]

I found the bug in plugin with some validates. Never liked if ($var) constructions. if ($var !== false && $var !== '') better to understand 🙂

Just replace content of plugin.php in plugin folder:
https://github.com/korobochkin/bbPress-permalinks-with-id/blob/master/plugin/plugin.php

Tested on brand new WordPress install only with bbPress and my plugin with default theme – works as… haha.

[pooledge]

Thank you but nope. Still no luck. See eg. http://pupyshevo.hol.es/forums/forum/11/
Maybe some debugging? You can use my credentials on this test site, would be glad to help! Let me know and thanks again for proper support!

Oleg

PS: flushed permalinks with default and then with postname. Also reactivated both bbPress and the plugin. Still believe it isn’t really plugin’s fault, but me doing smth wrong…

[Kolya Korobochkin]

@pooledge Can you add me as administrator on this demo site? My email me@korobochkin.com.

[Kolya Korobochkin]

I check out your site and this f* code just not work. I see that rewrite rules from my plugin not added via add_action ('bbp_init', 'bbp_permalinks_rewrites_init', 29); hook. It’s means that:

• Hook deleted by other plugin (hm).
• bbp_init doesn’t exists.
• My head is broken.

Maybe someone get us some tips that to check or that to do.
