   As with all plugins that do this, the Permalink Validator breaks any plugins that use extended URLs, as in:

   http://mysite.com/forum?forum=6&page=1

   and just changes it to

   http://mysite.com/forum/

   No-one has got one of these plugins right yet

   Have updated the Permalink Validator to version 0.4, which should fix issues with bbPress integration.

   What forum software are you using ?

   See that you are using the Simple Forum plugin.

   Maybe I should implement an option to exclude pages from being validated for the different forum software solutions out there.

   Have updated the Development Version with a little hack, so you can add urls that should not be included in validation.

   After installing the plugin use the plugin editor and modify the Permalink Validator code so the $excludes array contains the sub-pages to exclude from validation.

   Guess I'm a lazy programmer for not creating a proper plugin options interface.

   I grabbed the dev version, put "/forum" in the excludes line and voila, happy bunny again.

   Thanks.

   Am I missing something?

   On IIS using ISAPI rewrite. Wordpress is installed at the root of the site. I have a custom html page I'd like to display, that is not part of wordpress, located at /state/index.html . I added "/state/" to the excludes array, with no change. The only way to get this page to show up is to type in the full URI to the file /state/index.html . Is there anyway to tell my ISAPI rewriting module to ignore this directory (state) altogether?

   Try adding this to your isapi_rewrite httpd.ini, it should redirect any request for anything located below the state folder:

   RewriteRule /state/(.*) /state/$1 [L]

   Since the pages are not part of Wordpress then you don't have to modify the Permalink Validator.

   I'm using iis too and I'm having a problem with a static front page.
   I'm using PV .5 and WP 2.3.1
   My permalink structure is:
   /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

   I tried to add /news-and-events/ and /index.php/news-and-events/ to the $exclude array but it still returns to the front page

   www.northjeffco.org/blog is the front page
   and www.northjeffco.org/blog/index.php/news-and-events is the posts page.

   A bug was introduced in Permalink Validator 0.5 during a code cleanup. Have fixed the bug, so update to ver. 0.6 and it should work.

   Sorry about the trouble
