I downloaded .rar file at <a href="http://www.technospot.net/blogs/how-to-remove-forum-and-topic-keyword-from-bbpress-url/" rel="nofollow">http://www.technospot.net/blogs/how-to-remove-forum-and-topic-keyword-from-bbpress-url/</a><br /> (thankfully winzip can open .rar files), and copied the two files ".htaccess" and "remft.php", and then run the plugin from admin but it made no difference. The first time I ran it I may have forgotton the .htaccess file. Any suggestions what now please?</p> <p>My forum is at <a href="http://www.willyhoops.com/bbpress" rel="nofollow">www.willyhoops.com/bbpress</a></p> <p>Also, I am totally new to this but searching for "remove hot tags" got me nothing. Not sure why they have added that by default but obviously I have to remove it. Can anyone tell me how to do that please?</p> <p>Ahh gee, you can't delete a post. I think I have totally messed up. This pluging does not remove the forum it does something else.</p> <p>Man I have been done! The default install is hopless and there is no info on how to change anything. This is a pro product only but it did not give that impression at all. I though I would have a simple little forum like the one here and it would all be easy. Instead I lost two hours of my Saturday.</p> <p>"So let’s get started. Download, install, and you’re on your way!".

Removing them is impossible.</p> <p>If you move bbpress to your webroot, you will get rid of /forums/ but it cannot co-exist with bbpress in that way as you cannot have two index files (without super-integration which is ill advised).</p> <p>BackPress might solve this however someday. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hack-to-remove-forumsforum#post-14255 Tue, 04 Mar 2008 14:40:19 +0000 TheSage 14255@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Is there a way to remove the second "forum" from urls? I have setup my forum just like this one, mysite.com/forums/'forum'- seems unnecessary.</p> <p>Also is there a way to remove /topic/ from posts? It would be nice if everything was off the root like WP. </p>
