Wait, so was this ever resolved after a year?

With WordPress in the root and bbPress in a sub-directory (ie. /forums/) can they both have pretty permalinks?

I have an idea if not – simple edit the webroot wordpress htaccess like so:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/forums/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

where /forums/ is the install path of bbpres underneath wordpress. Remember you still need the local htaccess for bbpress in it’s own folder.
