All redirects goes to root of forum - bbPress https://wpforo.com/community/bbpress/all-redirects-goes-to-root-of-forum/ Discussion Board en-US Sat, 11 Apr 2026 23:55:06 +0000 wpForo 60 RE: All redirects goes to root of forum https://wpforo.com/community/bbpress/all-redirects-goes-to-root-of-forum/#post-10817 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 16:25:52 +0000 It seems like the hard coded forum slug in bbpress is the problem. I added a bit of code to the the redirect plugin (locally) and it seems to work now. I am basically getting the forumid for the topic and then finds the forum url. Afterwards, I concatenate the forum and the topic slug. The script takes care of the rest.

The replies are not migrated. I guess that is possible, but probably ok not to do that.

It is very usefull.

 

I am still challenges by getting wpforo's URL structure:

/community/forum-name/topic-name/

To match the one from bbpress

/forums/topic/topic-name/

I don't know how to get the fixed "topic" name to match the variable wpforo forum name. I prefer to keep the bbpress URL's for SEO reasons.

Also please note, the slugs (last part of permalinks) are the same when you do migration from bbPress to wpForo. So wpForo rewrite rule automatically redirects to wpForo forums and topics. You should disable bbPress once wpForo is activated.

I have tested the wpforo and migration quite a lot. After the migration it turns out that the bbpress URLs all directs to the new forum root.

For instance:

old-forum/topic/topic-name/#post-60989 goes to  new-forum/#post-60989

It leaves out the topic and post part. I can't figure out why. I have tried to turn off other plugins, but without any luck so far (got a redirect and permanentlink plugin running)

Thanks for a nice forum :)
