I’ve integrated BBPress and everything works great. I have installed the .htaccess in the /bbpress/ folder as specified to make name permalinks work for bbpress.

However name permalinks don’t work when the forums are viewed through buddypress groups, instead they show up like this:

http://site.com/groups/the-group-name/forum/topic/1

http://site.com/groups/the-group-name/forum/topic/2

http://site.com/groups/the-group-name/forum/topic/3

Can i rewrite the urls so that they show as in bbpress?

http://site.com/forums/topic/this-is-the-topic-title

I checked testbp.org and see that their Group forums also have the /forum/topic/number structure, does this mean the rewrite is not easily done?

Thanks for any help on this

A gentle bump! Can anyone help me?

Is it possible for the url links to Forum posts that are found within BP Groups to be in the permalink style (including the topic title as they are in bbpress)?

thanks

I just don’t think anybody really knows. What version bp, wpmu, bbpress? That’s got to be somewhere around bbpress rc2 though. Not sure when bbpress went with the permalinks options. I can’t help you at the moment. I wiped my dev server’s bbpress, upgraded to bbpress rc2 and can’t get group forums to work at all. I can’t get that to work or wp/bbpress cookie integration. It’s the usual issue with conflicting, incorrect or just plain missing docs on how to make it happen properly.

We have wordpress config settings, bbpress config settings, bp config settings. After careful and lengthy research, I’ve determined that it all is somehow related to this:

I guess I get to wait until Automattic decides that integration of their three products is actually important. This is a back burner issue with my dev server. I just don’t have the time to track down the problem at the moment.

Hi Burt

thanks a lot for letting me know

I’m WPMU 2.7.1 BP 1.0.1 and BBPress 1.0-alpha-6

I’m planning for the groups forum to be the main content part of my site and so it would be great for seo purposes if the buddypress urls can include the bbpress rewrite.

Fingers crossed for the future!!

Btw I couldn’t get the bbpress RC to work either, works great once I went to 1.0-alpha-6
