Hi,
I have the Blog Linking feature enable on the SPF 5. The problem is that all linked pages are going to the BLOG and not to the forum. Whenever I click "Join Forum Discussion on this post" the link redirects back to the same page. Also If go into the Forum and find the forum topic that happened to be linked by the Blog Linking plugin, and click on the forum topic, instead of the topic being opened in the forum, the topic is directed to the BLOG. Is there a way to change it to where the forum topic goes to the forum and the blog post goes to the blog as usual.
Also there is no link back to the BLOG from the forum topic post. On the blog side there is a "Join the Forum Discussion for this post" but there is no "View the original Blog page" link on the Forum topic.
Settings that I have bubbled in:
---
---Display mixed in standard comment block
---If creating posts from blog comments, hide duplicates
---
---
---Create blog post to topic link automatically
---Blog post and linked topic have their own canonical URL
Plugins that might interfere??:
Ajax Edit Comments
Inline Editor
MCEComments
Caching is OFF and Wp Minify is OFF
Please Let me know if that made sense
Also I would like to note that there is no option in the Blog Linking Settings that allow me to change the text of the Forum-to-Blog link. There IS settings to change the link from the BLOG-to-Forum link ("Join Forum Discussion on this post") but there is NOT the option to change the Forum-to-Blog Link.

do you have a link to example so we can better understand what you are saying?
of course, the blog post link should go to the forum topic and the link in the forum topic should go to the blog post... is that not what is happening??
are you sure there is not link? keep in mind, its shown at the top of the topic in the header and not in the post content itself...

Hi,
Unfortunately I don't have a link because the site is a membership site, however my forum is not even showing up for topics that are blog linked. The forum topics just redirect to the Blog. Is there a way to change that.

sorry, I dont understand 'my forum is not even showing up for topics that are blog linked'? what does that mean?
the forum is either there or not... it shows up on its own page completely separate from blog posts...
Are you saying if you create a blog post, that the TOPIC does not show in the forum?

Sorry for the confusion. The topic shows up in the forum; however, when you click on the topic the site redirects to the blog page that is linked to the topic. The topic is never opened in the forum it is just redirected.

would really need to see what is happening... we do not have any way built into sp to do that kind of redirection...
no caching plugin, right? before you click on the forum topic, what is the url shown in the browser status bar? ie does it point to the forum or to the blog post?

Hi,
The forum topic link is:
http://www.example.com/members.....w-diagram/
The blog post link is:
http://www.example.com/members.....w-diagram/
The forum topic link automatically redirects to the blog link. The forum topic link is never opened in the forum it is just redirected. That is whether the forum topic link URL is entered in the address bar or the forum topic link is click on from "Join the forum discussion on this post"
Even when the forum-to-blog linking is Broken. (By clicking "Break forum" link in the Wordpress blog edit page) The forum topic is still showing as a topic in the forum; however, the forum topic link still redirects to the BLOG post.
Even when the Blog linking plugin is disabled. The forum topic redirects to the BLOG page that was originally associated with it.
OK - I just figured out the problem. It ends up that my whole forum was redirecting to my BLOG. For example if a forum link was: http://www.example.com/members.....eneral/. The forum would auto redirect for whatever reason to http://www.example.com/%catego.....e%/general.
The way I fixed this was to go to INTEGRATION - PAGE AND PERMALINK - then click on UPDATE FORUM PERMALINK. This fixed the redirection problem.
