Currently no way at all I am afraid.

We could introduce a filter for you to use so that the url fragment could be removed but then it would be across the board and imposed everywhere. If you would like to do that it can be arranged.

I would like to try it and see how it works, thanks yellow

the filter would be available in the next version 5.5.3…

The filter will simply be called ‘sph_forum_url’ and the only parameter is the constructed url being requested. So it would be a simple matter to remove the post ID fragment and then return the massaged url. This will be in the 5.5.3 release.

sweet, thanks!

You’re welcome.
Shout nearer the time if you need advice on how to use it if you still want to. Again a custom or child theme would be useful for this.

where would I find this filter? and what would I do with it?

I will have to come back to this later today. Struggling with it a bit as I am starting to think that WordPress might not load anythiung early enough to catch this. But will investigate further later.

sweet, thank-you

will get back with you…

Ok – try adding this to your Simple:Press theme spFunctions file:

add_filter('sph_forum_url', 'test');
function test($u) {
    $p = strpos($u, '#');
    if($p) $u = substr($u, 0, $p);
    return $u;
}

Important to realise, of course, that this will change the urls across the board. Although I am only 95% sure it will change all of them.

perfect, thank-you!

Good to hear. Hopefully it really does get them all. I wonder if some might seem a bit weird though. Like search results for example.

it does, and I actually prefer it like that, I’d rather people being looking through the newest posts firsts instead of three year old threads
