looks like its missing a trailing slash after the topic name…  can you verify on your wp settings – general admin panel what your site url and blog url are?  are they both missing a trailing slash?   thats not to say its wrong – if so, its likely our plugin is not properly handling sites that dont use the standard trailing slash on urls… if so, we can open a ticket and correct… but want to check first…

Hi,

Site and blog URL have no trailing slash i.e. http://www.myonlinetraininghub.com

If I add the slash into the URL from the topic in my original post, I get a 404 error e.g.

http://www.myonlinetraininghub.com/forum/excel/formula-to-deal-with-filtered-visible-data/topicprint/

Thanks

Phil

Is the 404 because you have deactivated the plugin by any chance? 

The basic problem is that none of your urls have the final slash and they should have – at least  all of the forum urls should have. That’s not to say that perhaps we should be checking for this but I have a hunch when we take a closer look at the code we will probably find we already are! And I will take a closer look this morning.

Meanwhile I am curious. Loading up a few of your pages at random I find that none have the trailing slash and this is not normal and strongly suggests that you have something active that is removing them. So can you tell us what other WordPress plugins you have active? Especially any that may be ‘massaging’ urls…?

OK – let’s step back. It is probably your WordPress permalink setting. Can you tell me what you have there please? I am betting there is no trailing slash. Is this by design?

And I will open a bug ticket and get this fixed up ASAP.

And… finally…

It is a very simple fix if you feel like making a small edit to the code. So – just in case you do the file in question is:

/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins/print-topic/ajax/sp-print-ajax-options.php

At line 22 in that file is this line of code:

$permalink = trailingslashit(sp_esc_str($url).'topicprint');

And that needs to be changed to:

$permalink = trailingslashit(sp_esc_str($url)).'topicprint';

You will see that the closing bracket simply needs to be moved

And of course – this plugin will be updated ASAP. And apologies for the issue – not using trailing slashes is very rare I think.

Thanks, editing that file fixed the issue.  Yes the site doesn’t have trailing slashes.

Regards

Phil

okay, thanks for the confirmation… is a parenthesis out of place… fix in place for next version update…
