### What URLs are supported?

[](#what-urls-are-supported)

The following table shows currently supported URL structures and their original counterparts. Note that the original URLs remain accessible.

The URL components `forums`, `forum`, `topic`, `reply`, and `paged` are dynamic values that can be modified through bbPress settings.

URL + IDURL + slug (bbPress default)`/forums/forum/``/forums/forum/``/forums/forum/111/``/forums/forum/test/``/forums/forum/111/edit/``/forums/forum/test/edit/``/forums/forum/111/page/2/``/forums/forum/test/page/2/``/forums/topic/222/``/forums/topic/test/``/forums/topic/222/edit/``/forums/topic/test/edit/``/forums/topic/222/page/2/``/forums/topic/test/page/2/``/forums/reply/333/``/forums/reply/test/``/forums/reply/333/edit/``/forums/reply/test/edit/``/?post_type=forum``/?post_type=forum``/?post_type=forum&p=111``/?post_type=forum&forum=test``/?post_type=forum&p=111&edit=1``/?post_type=forum&forum=test&edit=1``/?post_type=forum&p=111&paged=2``/?post_type=forum&forum=test&paged=2``/?post_type=topic&p=222``/?post_type=topic&forum=test``/?post_type=topic&p=222&edit=1``/?post_type=topic&forum=test&edit=1``/?post_type=topic&p=222&paged=2``/?post_type=topic&forum=test&paged=2``/?reply=333``/post_type=reply&reply=test``/?reply=333&edit=1``/post_type=reply&reply=test&edit=1`### Does the plugin change URLs in the interface?

[](#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?

[](#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?

[](#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?

[](#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`).
