Thank you all.

I am not using WP only bbPress installation.

The problem is the login into ppPress.

bbPress login does not recognize: http://www.forum.mysite/bb-login.php.

It needs: http://forum.mysite.com/bb-login.php.

I tried permalink settings none and name based, same issue.

Does anyone uses redirect and how can I eliminate "double" content and redirect permanently to http://www.forum.mysite.com?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forum\.my-domain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.forum.my-domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

It redirects to http://www.forum.my-domain.com, but the login doesn't work and brings me back to the bb-login.php page.

http://www.forum.my-domain.com/bb-login.php

What do I need to change in the code above to redirect to http://www.forum.my-domain.com and the login works?

I have something simlar for my wordpress but this one you aded here does not work for bbpress

do I need to add more rules?

And this:
http://thomas.ipublish.no/forum/

BUT

With no trailing slash:
http://thomas.ipublish.no/wp-admin

redirects to:
http://thomas.ipublish.no/forum/wp-admin/

And gives a 500 Internal Server Error.

With the proper trailing slash:
http://thomas.ipublish.no/wp-admin/

redirects properly to:
http://thomas.ipublish.no/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://thomas.ipublish.no/wp-admin/

I'd say it has something to do with the rewrite rules and the RewriteBase maybe, in one of the two .htaccess files, but without seeing the rules from both, it's hard to say.

Example: http://thomas.ipublish.no/wp-admin automaticly redirects to http://thomas.ipublish.no/forum/wp-admin

How can I avoid this?

I'm greatful for all help.

Good luck,
Kev

require_once dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/wp-blog-header.php';

This should be used instead:

require_once dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/wp-load.php';

What's the cleanest solution to this, for WP 2.8.6 installed in / and bbPress 1.0.2 installed in /forum/ ?

Thanks very much, indexing is vital to me.

But something is wrong because the pages cannot be found. This is my rewrite code (it is a bit different from your code because I am using the newest version of bbpress):

# BEGIN bbPress

# END bbPress

Probably I made something wrong with point four where you say that the lines 46 and 48 have to be switched. What do I actually have do do there?

Quote: "4. Open up bb-post.php at the root of your bbPress install and simply switch lines number 46 and 48"

Is it this code?
$link = get_post_link($post_id);

$topic = get_topic( $topic_id, false );

function is_404 () {
global $wp_query;
if (preg_match('/(firstbbpressfoldername|secondbbpressfoldername)/i', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']))
{return true;}
else{
return $wp_query->is_404;}
}

After saving the irritating 404 issue has gone.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/forum/$1 [L,R=301]

Thx for the hint!

kind regards

Tom

From www to no-www

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.myforums.com\.com
RewriteRule (.*) myforums.com/ [R=301,L]

and the opposite … 

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^myforums.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.myforums.com/ [L,R=301]

is there a way to build canonical URLs like WordPress does? WordPress automatically redirects http://domain.tld to http://www.domain.tld and I would like bbPress to do so too.

This is needed to prevent duplicate content on your site.

kind regards

Tom

Any updates?

Thanks

Also, the My Views plugins don't seem to work properly, has anyone else noticed this?

I had a look at the rewrites and similar but it seems ok (though I am not an expert), so I am at a loss. Is anyone else having this problem? Any ideas on a fix?
