I have a bbPress forum at 1&1, in a subdirectory of WordPress installation, and I never did get permalinks working (I last tried 18 months or so ago.) Now that you have shown it can be done, I will take my own advice, which was provided here first by hmcnally, and see if I can get them working again.

Glad it worked for you.

It worked ! Thanks so much chrishajer. But I must add that I moved bbpress to a upper level above my WP install and used a sub domain for the forums. Because following 1and1 instructions stated above in their email response, it did not solve the problem until I placed

Options -MultiViews

At the top of the htaccess file.

Now permalinks work just fine.

Thanks again !

Your setup is just fine with the directory structure you have setup (WordPress as the root for the domain, bbPress in a subfolder.)

I cannot get pretty permalinks to run, even after following directions.

I wrote to them

I am running wordpress and bbpress in the same root directory
http://mysite.com is wordpress install and
http://mysite.com/bbpress/ is bbpress install each install has
it's own .htaccess for using permalinks. WordPress permalinks work fine
but I cannot get bbpress pretty permalinks to work at all. I have tried
different variations of htaccess codes for both files without any
success. It seems to me that the main root htaccess is overriding the
/bbpress/ htaccess.

Any suggestions ?

This was their reply to me.

"Dear Cliffmaster, (Customer ID: 6XXXXXXXX)

Thank you for contacting us.

With regards to your query,
we would highly suggest that you install BBpress on a different folder
and not on folder where you have installed a different CMS (WordPress).

Please separate the two CMS's by installing them on different folders
under the root directory (/.)

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
