Can I move bbPress to a different directory?

I have very basic programming skills and I currently have bbPress in the directory shiftselling.com/forum.

So I can use my existing template I embedd the forum inside a page called discuss – http://www.ShiftSelling.com/discuss – that has an iframe that contains the forum.

But I want to use shiftselling.com/forum for the actual page where I send people to.

If I just use FTP to move my existing bbPress install into a new directory – say shiftselling.com/files/bbpress/ – what changes do I have to make to what files so this will work?

Is this an easy thing to do or is it a fair bit of should I just leave it the way it is?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I tried what I found at the bottom of https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-move-my-bbpress-location – changing the location in the general settings section and the first page comes up nicely but when I click on any links I get a 404 – Page not found error.

What next?

Try turning permalinks off and seeing if that helps… if so, it’s probabaly a rewrite/htaccess issue.

I tried that now I can see anything when I try to go to the page.

I am in way over my head and pulling my hair out. I’ve been working on this instead of my work stuff for the last three days and I’m getting incredibly frustrated by the whole experience.

Where is the best place to post a need for a programmer to do this for me?

OK so I got lucky and remove the line of code in my config file and was able to get back into the directory location and move things back to the way they were.

Now I just need to give this to someone who knows what they are doing to move it where I want.
