Problems when adding a new topic using the shortcode for a single forum
Quote from Asgaros on May 5, 2019, 3:28 pmHello again @timgoodenoughza
I just finished working on a version which adds new options to Forum -> Settings -> URLs to change the URL-slugs for views. You can download a stable testing-version here:
https://github.com/Asgaros/asgaros-forum/archive/c3868f8bc624a3cf4a8bdbe3bae1e4334c060b0c.zip
It would be really great if you could replace the files of your existing Asgaros Forum-installation on your server with a FTP-application. Dont uninstall the plugin directly from the administration-area because uninstalling removes all data and forum-content from the database.
After you replaced the files, you can change the topic-slug for URLs in the settings.
It would be great if you could test it and give me feedback afterwards so that I can release an update soon! 🙂

Thank you for the speedy reply and fast-tracking this development. I am super impressed with your support. I have just ftp-ed everything across and tested and unfortunately in terms of LearnDash it still doesnt work. I can see the slug is showing up differently (I changed Topic to Top) however when I press the “add topic” button or reply button the “topic” part of the address still gets lost.
For example: the forum is nested within a course here: https://www.beyondthegap.com/topic/game-changer-forum/
and when I click reply or add topic the address fails as it tries to go to: https://www.beyondthegap.com/game-changer-forum/forum/first-forum/ – the “topic” part of the URL is still getting lost.
When I click on a topic I created at www.beyondthegap.com/forum I get this address failure : https://www.beyondthegap.com/game-changer-forum/top/forum-plain-topic/

Thank you for the feedback! Is it possible that you can create an account for me so I can have a direct look into it? As far as I know the LearnDash plugin is not available for free so I dont have any chance to test it on my development installation.
If you want, you can contact me via the following mail: developer (at) thomasbelser.net

I have the exact same identical problem. I hoped to see the solution, but apparently the conversation stopped without a clear solution.
So, did you guys managed to solve the issue?Thanks!

Quote from Apos37 on September 2, 2023, 12:17 amI, too, am having this issue. I have done the same stuff as you suggested, but the problem is that LearnDash reroutes the links as well. For example, I have a lesson (a custom post type) where my
[forum forum="1"]shortcode is, and if I view the page directly the url is just “https://mydomain.com/lessons/lesson-slug/”. When I assign the lesson to a course, it gets rerouted, and the url becomes “https://mydomain.com/courses/course-slug/lessons/lesson-slug/”. That is because lessons can be assigned to different courses.Now, on the lesson page where the shortcode is, I can see all categories (not just the forum in my shortcode), but that is a different problem since it’s also not working properly outside of LearnDash.
Anyway, the forum links inside the categories are pointing to: “https://mydomain.com/lesson-slug/forum/1/”, which obviously gives me a 404 error. I also tried going directly to “https://mydomain.com/courses/course-slug/lessons/lesson-slug/forum/1/”, and that didn’t work either.
Have you figured out a workaround for this?
