Links take me back to the blog root directory

   I have installed the latest version of bbPress in a sub-directory of my blog ../bb

   Links for template pages generally work and so does the link to the admin and presentation, plugins etc.

   But the links to Add Topic, Forums etc all just take me back to the blog home page. Is this something to with WordPress Integration which I have somehow messed up?

   Any help much appreciated

   Can you post a URL and possibly your config?

   OK, found out what it was - but how can i use pretty urls?

   By rediting the config file to short urls false the problem has gone away:

   $bb->mod_rewrite = false;

   So, why if set to true isn't it working. What happens is the directory mysite.com/bb/topic (say) goes back to the home page of the main blog at mysite.com

   Maybe this will help:

   In addition to making the change to true in the config, you need to create the rules in an .htaccess file in your server root. Your server needs to support it too.
