4. log into your bbPress dashboard. Click on options. Look for bbPress address (URL) and change the address. Click save page. You WILL get an error. Leave the page open. Sign into your FTP and rename the folder to forum. Go back to the page and click refresh. If you did it right it will ask you to login again.
Your integration settings need to be updated.
Thanks for your suggestion. However I did everything like you said and now I can’t log back into admin of bbpress. It appears that that process didn’t work! Now I’ve created a problem. I’ll start looking through the forums for an answer to this. Ugh.
Now I’m in a pickle. I cannot visibly see an admin screen for bbpress and therefore I can’t login to try to make changes. I did add this path in bb-config
$bb->uri = ‘http://your-domain-name.com/forum-path/’;
(after key codes) and it’s done nothing. My folder in file manager has been changed from bbpress to forum. I tried to change it back but because I can’t get into bbpress admin I can’t change the admin link. Right now I’d be happy to go back to bbpress and not forum and believe you me when I say I’ll become backup queen.
Can anyone please help?!!
re: “pickle”
suggest removing the bb-config change you made until you get these other things sorted out 
Casemon,
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’ll work on # 3. It seems as though all things are restored with the forum link once I removed your “pickle” reference. HUGE CHEERS FOR THAT.
Any insight into # 1 or # 2 for me?
Seems you use Kakumei?
Open header.php (theme)
Found <div id="header" role="banner">
Add something like after the code above <a class="bloglink" href="http://yourblog.com/">« My blog homepage</a>
Found theme style.css and open
Add something like this
a.bloglink {
font-size: 13px;
}
hpguru pretty much nailed it.

Hello all,
Well it appears as though the link between the blog and the forum aren’t working as well as I’d thought. They are both linked to each other (via my manual links) but since I changed the folder from bb-admin to forum now all posts in the forum return me back to the blog page with a “page not found”error. What am I missing? Any ideas?
You’ll see what I mean if you enter http://jslhoa.com then click on forum discussion links, then try to click on one of the topics. THe error will occur. I really appreciate your help! Lynn
Excuse me. By changing the permalinks in bbadmin from option # 2 to # 3 I’m good to go. Unless there’s something I’m missing?! Cheers, Lynn
