Description

I think bbPress should automatically generate the file, just like WordPress does.

Change History (7)

  • Milestone changed from 0.9 to 1.0-beta & XML-RPC
  • Owner set to sambauers
  • Status changed from new to assigned
  • Summary changed from .htaccess is not generated when activating pretty permalinks to .htaccess should be generated when activating pretty permalinks
  • Type changed from defect to enhancement

This never happened automatically. It should be a feature in 1.0

I think users should be informed that they have to manually create the file when they activate pretty permalinks.

I wish you could vote on bugs like in Bugzilla. I vote for this one. This should absolutely be the default, just like in WordPress. You shouldn't need to modify .htaccess manually, and when MultiViews? does not work, you should not have to access a file to generate rewrite rules, then edit .htaccess. Too many hoops.

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from assigned to closed

(In [1602]) Add a link to the rewrite-rules.php in admin under the permalinks option. Fixes #838 until front controller is built.

  • Milestone 1.0-beta deleted

Milestone 1.0-beta deleted

  • Milestone set to 1.0

(In [2098]) Admin makeover. Split options over several pages so that options are under the same page as in WordPress. Add header icons. Move notices below the h2 header. Auto-generate .htaccess file when possible. See #838
