You just need to follow the instructions.</p> <p>And if bbPress is in a sub-directory of WordPress (collectibles-talk), then you will have two .htaccess files, or possibly all the rules in the WordPress-level .htaccess. The .htaccess you posted is the default WordPress one. You need more rules for bbPress.</p> <p>Here is something about that:<br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pretty-permalinks-not-working?replies=24#post-7743" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pretty-permalinks-not-working?replies=24#post-7743</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/clicking-on-forum-headings-brings-me-to-my-main-website#post-21207 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 18:13:34 +0000 peuter 21207@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Well, I thought that was the problem. The forum works now, but I have to turn off pretty urls or permalinks.

They are both using the same database. </p> <p>BBpress somehow found the info from WP's config.php file and used it. I remember BBpress telling me it didn't find the config.php file, and did I want it to fill one out for me. I clicked "yes" and it took the info from WP's config.php</p> <p>I noticed this in my <a href="http://FTP.....there" rel="nofollow">FTP.....there</a> is a config.php.sample (came with BBpress) and a config.php that BBpress generated.</p> <p>I need to start a new database and fill out manually a config.php to go with it. Thanks for all your help Chris and I hope this helps others that may have done the same thing. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/clicking-on-forum-headings-brings-me-to-my-main-website#post-21205 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 16:35:22 +0000 peuter 21205@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Thanks for trying to help on this Chris. Here is what my htaccess file looks like at the moment:</p> <p>Options +MultiViews<br /> # BEGIN WordPress<br /> &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;<br /> RewriteEngine On<br /> RewriteBase /<br /> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<br /> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<br /> RewriteRule . /index.php [L]<br /> &lt;/IfModule&gt;</p> <p># END WordPress</p> <p>Keep in mind this is in my root directory. (so both WP and BBpress are both using it?) </p> <p>Am I supposed to have a seperate htaccess file in the bbpress directory too? </p> <p>I got access to the code you sent me.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that the new bbpress board is actually on the same folder as the previous phpbb one (/forum), however, I get people coming from google trying to find phpbb pages like: </p> <p>/forum/viewtopic.php?p=66sid=c72c343df3c37339b4d5094a1296566d </p> <p>,but the new pages now look more like: forum/topic.php?id=38 on bbpress.</p> <p>I was wondering if there's a code I can add so people coming from google at least can be redirected to the forum's index, right now they're getting a 404 (sorry, I said 401 previously) because the old page can't be found. </p> <p>At least until google indexes everything again. </p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/redirection-to-new-bbpress-board#post-20836 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:10:18 +0000 Ipstenu 20836@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>You mean to just redirect one folder to another?</p> <p>Pretend your old forum was at <a href="http://www.domain.com/phpbb2" rel="nofollow">http://www.domain.com/phpbb2</a> and the new one is at <a href="http://www.domain.com/bbpress" rel="nofollow">http://www.domain.com/bbpress</a></p> <p>Delete the phpbb2 folder and in your .htaccess add this:<br /> <code>RewriteRule ^phpbb2(.*)$ <a href="http://www.domain.com/bbpress/" rel="nofollow">http://www.domain.com/bbpress/</a> [L,R=301]</code></p> <p>That will make what's called a Permanent redirect, and in theory teach site crawlers what's up.
