tags.php generates a 302 header – Google doesn’t like redirects in the sitemap

Published on March 20th, 2008 by chrishajer

I was checking my Google sitemap stats and saw this recently for my bbPress sitemap:

URLs not followed

When we tested a sample of the URLs from your

Sitemap, we found that some URLs were not accessible

to Googlebot because they contained too many redirects.

Please change the URLs in your Sitemap that redirect

and replace them with the destination URL (the redirect

target). All valid URLs will still be submitted.

Further reading led to this:

http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=48551&hl=en

So my questions are:

1. What is the reason this is a 302 header (temporary redirect) vs a 301 header (permanent redirect)?

2. Can it be changed in the code or with a plugin to generate a 301 header so Google will follow the URLs?

3. If this is not possible, what would the proper permanent URL be for a tag URL like http://www.example.com/forum/tags.php?tag%3Dghosts

BTW, I am using the Sitemap plugin for bbPress by Richard Boakes. http://boakes.org/talk/topic/31

I can modify that to write the proper permanent URLs to the sitemap if that’s the easiest way to go about it. Or, maybe tags URLs should not even be in the sitemap (they are just pointers to content that exists elsewhere anyway.)

Thanks.

Had 50+ topics, now getting “No input file specified” error

Published on March 19th, 2008 by 3RING

Hello All;

Our forum has been up and running for about 2 months. We have over 50 topics and hundreds of posts.

This weekend however, something broke. Now when you visit the forum home page that lists the various topics, the list appears, but when you click to view a topic, the ‘No input file specified’ error on a blank page appears. We were not using pretty permalinks, our URL structure is:

www.example.com/forum/topic/63?replies=1

Also, I’ve noticed in the admin panel that when I go to view the list of all topics in the ‘content’ section, the initial list of 30 appears, but when I click the ‘2’ or ‘next’ link to see the rest of the list, the ‘No input file specified’ error shows up again. The same error occurs when I click to view a topic from the admin panel.

These conversations are there – how do I get them back!!?

Any ideas what happened??

WordPress posting messed up after install

Published on March 19th, 2008 by missbossy

Since I installed bbpress I’m having problems with posting in WordPress.

I can post but afterwards am taken to a blank page. Eg instead of returning to /wp-admin/edit.php I’m taken to /wp-admin/post.php which is blank.

Likewise when working with pages, instead of ending up at wp-admin/edit-pages.php I end up at wp-admin/page.php – also blank.

I get other form errors when activating/deactivating plugins.

Since the bbpress install I haven’t added any new plugins.

BBpress seems to work fine.

FYI: It’s in a subdirectory of my blog (/forums).

Pushing WordPress Posts to bbPress

Published on March 17th, 2008 by gkp99

I am running the latest build (as of now) of 0.9 bbPress and WP 2.5 Beta (yesterday’s build).

They (so far) seem to play together really well (great job on the out-of-the-box integration to you bbPress guys!).

I have a question. Is it possible to make a post in WordPress and somehow have it added to a forum in bbPress and comments added to that post in WP added to the topic in bbPress too?

How would one go about achieving this?

Thanks,

Garry

Is there a way to have different images come up in a sidebar on specific forum pages? In order to allow an advertiser to sponsor a particular forum?

localisation issue of mo file

Published on March 16th, 2008 by

Hi, I’ve installed the 0.8.3.1 version into the wordpress v2.3.2 directory.

I tried to localise bbpress in french using the fr_FR.mo found in http://www.adilade.fr/blog/41/bbpress-traduction-francaise.html#comment-281

But when I add the french mo file in bbpress/bb-includes/languages, and the line

define(‘BBLANG’, ‘fr_FR’);

into config.php file

I’ve the Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class cachedfilereader in E:wampwwwhyporecrs_next2bbpressbb-includesstreams.php on line 163

After many hours of research and tests, the problem seems to be due that there is a confict between wordpress fr mo file and the bbpress one.

Note that to use the header and the footer from wordpress in bbpress, I’ve added:

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

if ( !defined(‘DB_NAME’) ) {

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-config.php’);

}

into the config.php file

(the bbpress template could then use get_header(); and get_footer(); of wordpress which is very convenient)

Please how can I solve this issue ?

thanks in advance
