It involved writing a WordPress plugin to add a few rewrite rules. Forum topic and board indexes seem to be returning 200 headers like they should be. The only problem is that if I browse to a non-existing thread id and the bbPress error message shows for topic not found the header is still a 200. </p> http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/topic/9#post-13 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 08:59:53 +0000 ryan 13@http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/ <p>This forum is wrapped inside the WordPress theme to keep the style consistent across the site. To do that I included the WordPress blog-header.php file because I needed to be able to use the sidebar widgets even though the forum software is technically running separately.</p> <p>I noticed a major problem though. Even though the forum pages are displaying correctly, the server is returning a 404 header so search engines think the page isn't there. I know the reason is because I'm including that blog-header.php file and WordPress thinks the forum page doesn't exist. But I'm looking for a solution to what seems to be a fairly significant problem. </p> <p>And I did find a WordPress plugin that overrides the 404 header by sending a 200 header later, but that seems like it would cause even the correctly sent 404s to be overridden as well and that doesn't do any good. </p>
