bbPress in worpdpress directory ... htaccess problem

    • Posted 2 years ago #

    this is my site file structure (look in the pic, link below)
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6055448/Capture.PNG

    bbPress is in the "forum" folder.

    I turned on permalinks and created .htaccess files for both, WP and BB.

    now when I type in browser "http://mysite.com/forum" and click on one of the forums it
    redirects me to "http://mysite.com/forum/forum/forum-title"

    How my .htaccess files must look like so it shows only one /forum/ in URL?
    Should I use one .htaccess file?

    WP htaccess http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6055448/wp_htaccess.txt
    BB htaccess http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6055448/bb_htaccess.txt

    Sounds like your links are correct. Does everything work?

    Since you installed bbPress into a directory called "forum", that will always be part of the URL. If you are viewing a forum, you will have the second forum in the URL, then you will have the title of the forum. That is how it works here as well:

    http://bbpress.org/forums/forum/requests-and-feedback

    • bbPress is in a directory called "forums"
    • You are viewing a forum, so "forum" is part of the URL
    • "requests-and-feedback" is the name of the forum

    So, sounds like it's working correctly on your site.

    Not everyone likes how that works (even though it appears to be working as designed on your site), so there are a couple plugins to change this functionality. Here is the most recent one:
