Re: Rewriting up one level
Add this to your sites root directory .htaccess file.
This assumes that your bbPress install is in a subdirectory of your sites root called “forums”.
These rules need to be added before any WordPress rules.
The rewrite will work, but bb_repermalink() will change the URL so that it appears as it normally would.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^users/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /forums/profile.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^users/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /forums/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^users/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /forums/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^users/([^/]+)/?$ /forums/profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
