I had the same problem with pretty permalink.

Background:

Main site = http://www.site.com

Blog = http://www.site.com/blog (WP 2.

Forum = http://www.site.com/forum (bbPress 0.9.06)

I installed the blog few weeks ago and didn’t touch apart of posting a “hello world”. Wp gave me a message on that time to enter this on root htaccess –

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /blog/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]

</IfModule>

I must mention that the htaccess had already

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on

Then I installed the forum today. After activating the name based permalink it gave me 404 message. I deleted the “+FollowSymLinks” from the htaccess and put –

Options +Multiviews

It worked fine for few hours but it started showing 404 again. After going through various posts in here I decided not to change the Multiviews as my hosting already mod_rewrite enabled.

I made another htaccess just for the forum,which look like this –

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /forum/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /forum/index.php [L]

</IfModule>

The pretty permalink is working at the moment. Hopefully it will be working in future too.
