Hi there
I am sking about how can permanently use the topic id for slug ?
Becasue I see some post saying will add this https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/how-to-use-post-ids-in-url-instead-of-title-slug/paged/2/
AFAIK, we can't using topic id as permanent slug, only for short link.
I'm sorry, but there is no way to use ID based URLs in forum. It's only available as a quick link. We're not planning to add it in the near future.
I can do this from database why you do not give to us this options ? Every time I do this manually to change for every new topics on phpmyadmin.

You should give us the freedom to use whatever we want because it is really annoying when the name is long and inconsistent with other languages while in English there is no problem
@kilany I agree with you
You can set the topic ID as the topic slug using hook code.
Put this code in a PHP snippet using Code Snippets plugin or in the functions.php file of your current active WordPress theme:
add_filter('wpforo_add_topic_data_filter', function( $args ){
if( wpfval($args, 'slug') ){
$topicid = WPF()->db->get_var("SELECT MAX(`topicid`) as topicid FROM `" . esc_sql( WPF()->tables->topics ) . "`");
if( $topicid ){
$args['slug'] = (string) ( intval($topicid) + 1 );
}
}
return $args;
}, 10);
Thank you very much. It works. I really appreciate this 😍
Is there a way to shorten the name of the forum, for example?
example.com/forum/experience/1
domain / forumname / subforum / postID
The name of the forum and the name of the section, can I make them abbreviated to be for example with out the subforum
example.com/forum/1

I'm sorry, but there is no way to do a structural change in URL.
@robert I create two posts they give same post ID on browser but on Database is okay it's have ID for each, So I mean it's make same slug for each creating post
@robert its still same number slug fixed on number 2
That's just impossible. Are you testing on a live website? The code has been tested on 5 different hostings and on localhost, it works fine. Please make sure you've copied and pasted the source code correctly, leave some screenshots.
@robert I am using Cloudflare so I wanna check it
@robert I test it on another WP that still slug fixed number
Something wrong with your database setup. It seems your WordPress doesn't have access to MySQL's information_schema.tables. This is an unusual issue.
In any case, I just updated the script. It should work in your case as well. Please delete the previous script. Again, make sure it's deleted, then copy and use the new script.
