Menu Error

I have installed the latest version and created a Forums page and added it to my menu. The url looks good: http://propertycrowdz.com/forums/
I have created two forums, in my case Resales and Rentals (although it could be anything, of course).
The problem may be that I am generating an extra forum in my url, when I create a new forum. Here’s one of them: http://propertycrowdz.com/forums/forum/rentals/ . I can view this page, so I have definitely created this forum.
However http://propertycrowdz.com/forums/ doesn’t actually show my general forums page.
If I type in http://propertycrowdz.com/forums/forum/ I still don’t get the general forums page. It just reverts to http://propertycrowdz.com/forums/, which is blank (no 401 message).

Have I done something wrong?

I don’t get to a forum on any of those links, presume you are still testing, so can’t answer the 401 message.

: http://propertycrowdz.com/forums/forum/rentals/ is the way bbPress shows the url.

There is some logic behind it, but it does annoy some people

The general index comes up as mysite.com/forums
but an individual forum is a forum called rentals hence forum/rentals that belongs to the forums index, hence forums/forum/rentals.

You can turn this off – Dashboard>settings>forums go to forum root slug and uncheck the forum prefix.

Below that you can change the names, so for instance you can have “support” instead of forums if you want.

Come back if you still got a 401 error, and I’ll take a look.
