As an alternative to the thought about changing the permalink above, should I instead change the root of the forums in the forum settings?
Thanks for your reply. I think I would just need to create a new forum, and move everything from three of the others to it.
But can anyone recommend a good plugin. I have googled and the ones I have found have people highly recommending that they are not used as they haven’t been updated in a while and have major conflicts.
Hey @robkk, you deserve a good beer for that one! It solved the problem, thanks!
Update: For anyone else who has the same issue, this plugin seemed to solve it for me.
