About permalinks and WP_w3all integration

Post by axew3 »

Note that any configuration of WordPress permalinks is allowed to be used with WP_w3all plugin, except the Plain option.
The Plain option do not contain the name of the page on permalink URL, so the created forum page will not be found by WordPress when called, if this is the permalink option active.
If you use the custom option for permalink, this need to contain the page name.

WP_w3all can work also with plain permalink option, but in some server configuration, as it is coded at moment of this post, it need to be adjusted in case or page forum when called will be NOT found.

CORRECT [EDITED]:

OR to resolve, you can use plain permalink, but for the specific forum page, you'll set manually the permalink name when you create or edit the page for the embedded forum.

So this i maybe not the right topic to do this answer. This topic is about permalinks, and you ask about this instead:

I am having a problem with permalinks. I have permalinkis set to postname. But the links to the urls are not working. No matter what link, it just takes us to the board index
The links are odd too:
http://ffrcnation.com/board/?w3=./viewforum.php?f=25

Not sure what the ?w3=./ part is?
If I put in the link it just gives me the forum index

I tried it without ?w3=./and get page not found.

Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks
Linda

Hi! Did you updated only the page forum, but not the overall_footer.html code?
wordpress-phpbb-template-embed-v2
also, if yes, did you rebuilt phpBB template?

p.s check well new code requirements that is little different from previous code. V3 complete version is on the way.

That got me closer but now the URL links look like this:
http://ffrcnation.com/board/?w3=Li92aWV ... MmdD0xMzE0

They do work though. But they are not the same links as you see when you hover over the title.

I updated overall_footer.html and ran the template refresh through the admin.

I also updated page-forum.php in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/addons

What did I miss?
Thanks
Linda
