[Plugin: phpbb_recent_topics] phpbb installation not in root subdirectory | ww.wp.xz.cn

The topic hyperlink generated by using phpbb recent topics in a page seems to assume the phpbb installation is in the main directory of the website, so it looks for viewtopic.php in the wrong place. What is the cleanest way to hack around this?

What do you mean by “main”” directory? Have you set the correct forum url?

In the screenshot -> http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/phpbb-recent-topics/screenshots you can see that the forum is not in the root directory of the website but in a sub directory /testforum/

Thanks for the quick turn, Nick.. Cockpit error – I had left the URL blank. And yes, main => root. My WordPress installation is in subdirectory “A” and my phpbb is in “B”. Specifying the fully qualifed URL of
“www.mysite.org/B”
generated the link
http://www.mysite.org/A/www.mysite.org/B/viewtopic blah blah

Specifying the URL as
../B
works perfectly

Postcript…….

Specifying the real fully qualified URL of
“http://www.mysite.org/B”, which is no doubt what Nick intended, works as well.

Yep, that’s what I meant 😀

Glad you got it working!
