## Description

This plugin transforms default bbPress permalinks (URLs) that use slugs into permalinks
that use numeric IDs.

## Installation

### How to install the plugin?

 1. Download the plugin via the WordPress admin interface or execute `wp plugin install
    bbpress-permalinks-with-id`.
 2. Activate bbPress and this plugin via the WordPress admin interface or execute `
    wp plugin activate bbpress-permalinks-with-id`.
 3. Flush rewrite rules using one of the following methods:
 4.  * Visit the `/wp-admin/options-permalink.php` page. WordPress automatically flushes
       rewrite rules every time you access this page, without requiring you to press
       the “Save Changes” button.
     * Alternatively, execute the `wp rewrite flush` command from WP-CLI.

### How to uninstall the plugin?

 1. Deactivate the plugin via the WordPress admin interface or execute `wp plugin deactivate
    bbpress-permalinks-with-id`.
 2. Delete the plugin via the WordPress admin interface or execute `wp plugin delete
    bbpress-permalinks-with-id`.
 3. Flush rewrite rules using one of the following methods:
 4.  * Visit the `/wp-admin/options-permalink.php` page. WordPress automatically flushes
       rewrite rules every time you access this page, without requiring you to press
       the “Save Changes” button.
     * Alternatively, execute the `wp rewrite flush` command from WP-CLI.

**Important:** URLs with IDs may have been shared on the internet, indexed by search
engines, or referenced in your forum content. After uninstalling this plugin, those
links will no longer function.

## FAQ

### What URLs are supported?

You can find a detailed table of supported URL structures in the [README.md on GitHub](https://github.com/korobochkin/bbpress-permalinks-with-id/).

### Does the plugin change URLs in the interface?

Yes. URLs within theme templates that are generated using the `get_post_permalink()`
function will adopt the ID-based structure.

### Do the old URLs in static content change?

No. Static content stored within the `wp_posts` table remains unaltered. The plugin
only modifies the code responsible for generating and handling URLs.

### Do the default URLs with slugs continue to work?

Yes. The original URLs with slugs remain accessible. However, the plugin does not
provide automatic redirection from slug-based URLs to ID-based URLs.

### How is the plugin tested?

The plugin undergoes manual testing with the latest WordPress and bbPress versions
using the official Twenty Twelve (`twentytwelve`) theme. Additionally, automated
code analysis tools test compatibility with both legacy and current versions, including
Psalm and PHP Code Style validation (see `.github/workflows/tests.yml`).

### Why use URLs with IDs instead of slugs?

 * Your forum operates in a language other than English and contains non-Latin characters.
 * Forum and topic titles include non-letter symbols (emojis, special characters
   such as `<`).
 * You frequently update slugs and titles of forums and topics and require more 
   reliable and permanent URLs.
 * Shorter, cleaner URLs that are easier to share and remember.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.7

No code changes. The plugin was renamed and the “Requires at least” version was 
updated to comply with new WordPress.org policies.

#### 1.0.6

No code changes, but a few unused functions were removed for cleaner code. This 
version was manually tested with WordPress 6.8.2, bbPress 2.6.14, and Twenty Twelve
theme 4.6. Additionally, several PHP compatibility and code quality tools were added
to the GitHub repository for automated validation (supporting PHP 5.6+). Thank you
for continuing to use this plugin! The previous release was made almost 10 years
ago. It is wonderful that the plugin continues to work reliably without requiring
maintenance.

#### 1.0.5

Update plugin text domain.

#### 1.0.4

First version of plugin for wordpress.org. Without automatically flushing rewrite
rules.
