I've implemented 2 functions that grab both "plugin activated" and "plugin deactivated" events in order to swap .htaccess and the new file. Unfortunately you still have to change .htaccess permissions if you want the plugin to update it, but the only other way is manual edit... I've embedded them in the plugin: what do you think would be the better way to publish the updated plugin? Hi!

Just ad the following code RewriteRule ^bb-admin/$ - [L] ...before this code RewriteRule ^([^.]+)/([^.]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ topic.php?id=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA] ....and it works! I found a solution for the admin-backend link!

Just ad the following code

RewriteRule ^bb-admin/$ – [L]

…before this code

RewriteRule ^([^.]+)/([^.]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ topic.php?id=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA]

….and it works!

You are correct – those are the two lines and they should be switched and they should be something like <code> $topic = get_topic( $topic_id, false ); $link = get_post_link($post_id); </code> Hey Alex,

Thanks for commenting. You are correct – those are the two lines and they should be switched and they should be something like


$topic = get_topic( $topic_id, false );
$link = get_post_link($post_id);

But something is wrong because the pages cannot be found. Probably I made something wrong with point four were you say that the lines 46 and 48 have to be switched. What do I actually have do do there? Is it this code? <code>$link = get_post_link($post_id); $topic = get_topic( $topic_id, false );</code> Hi, I’ve just followed your instructions and was also able to remove “forum” and “topic” from the urls.
