thanks! the Joined thing was done from a plugin, very simple!

mrhoratio,
Thanks a lot for the input. Sucks that it isn’t working out for a lot of people. I guess I’ll just live with it (for now?), and patiently wait for something out there. 
Thanks again
I’ve been trying to get this but I don’t really know what would allow this as I’m relatively new to websites, and I don’t know if this is even possible. Does anyone who knows what I’m talking about above know if this is possible for bbPress right now?
Just wondering if anyone has the solution…
Hi chrishajer,
example.com has stuff like htaccess, index.php, php.ini, robots.txt
example.com/folder/ is the WP install that’s integrated with the forum
and example.com/folder/bbpress/ is the aforementioned forum
I’m not sure if people don’t know how to do it, or if it’s not possible, or if I’m just not explaining it clearly enough… So I’ll try again:
Right now, physically, the folders are arranged like so:
root.com/folder/bbpress
The address:
root.com/folder/bbpress
also works and goes to the forum just fine.
However, I want to keep the physical folders arranged that way, and make the address:
root.com/bbpress
WordPress itself has the exact same option under “Settings” by changing “Blog address (URL)” to whatever.
Any help would be appreciated!
nevermind I just figured it out! it’s in the bb_topicmeta table in the database. thanks everyone!
