Permalink display as page ID, not post name

Hi @webmasterpcsb,
Thanks for your message.

This shouldn’t be occurring and I’ve never seen this in my testing or had it reported before unfortunately. My guess would be that something is re-writing URLs somehow but I couldn’t tell you where or how.

Are you able to investigate this?

Thanks,
Jack

I will look into this. I’m not sure what it could be either.

I not sure if it would apply, but we are using a multi-site configuration for WordPress. We use a nginx web server and this is our current configuration:

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name subdomain.example.com www.subdomain.example.com;

  root /var/www/wordpress/public;
  index index.php;

  access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
  error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

  if (!-e $request_filename) {
    rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;
    rewrite ^(/[^/]+)?(/wp-.*) $2 last;
    rewrite ^(/[^/]+)?(/.*\.php) $2 last;
  }

  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
  }

  location ~ \.php$ {
    include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
  }
}

Is there any information that I can provide to verify this issue?

After further investigation, it would appear that it might be a WordPress problem relaying the post name from the get_permalink() function. This would be the type of configuration we are trying to obtain:

$permalink1 = get_permalink( $post->ID );
$permalink1 = substr($permalink1, 0, strpos($permalink1, "?")) . $post->post_name;
$message = str_replace( '[permalink]', $permalink1,  $message );

By editing the /includes/engine/class-bnfw-engine.php with the snippet above, the format we were trying to achieve works.

This is not the best way to do this. Do you have any recommendations?

Thanks but that might only work for your specific set-up.

Can you send a screenshot of Settings > Permalinks for that site?

Thanks,
Jack

Here’s the screenshot:

Hi @webmasterpcsb,
The screenshot link doesn’t seem to work for me.

Can you confirm it’s correct and re-post?

Thanks,
Jack

Try this link: Permalinks

Hi @webmasterpcsb,
As this is a multisite issue and I plan on addressing Multisite as a separate add-on for BNFW, i’m going to mark this as resolved for now. I’m hoping to have the Multisite add-on out in a few months time providing that everything does well.

Thanks,
Jack
