Hello,

at the moment I have:

website.ext: html pages
website.ext/blog/: wordpress 4.0
website.ext/forum/: bbpress 1.0.2

I managed to import my jurassic bbpress installation into wordpress via plugin, I just dont find a way to keep my forum on the current url.

It’s true i can change the slug in the settings, but it would just be a different name under the /blog/ directory like, for example, website.ext/blog/myforum/

My question is: is it possible to import my old forum via plugin from website.ext/blog/ and have the forum where it is now (website.ext/forum/)?

Thank you very much.

I’ll try to type “up” for this question without any hope, though, since my last 4 questions remained all unanswered.

bbpress 1.0.2 is obsolete for a few years now and is no longer supported, current bbpress is version 2.5.4

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/

using wordpress and bbpress 2.x, you could set up wp at domain.tld/blog and put bbpress (2.x) on a wp page like domain.tld/blog/forum

see the bbpress codex for more info on setting up bbpress 2

sorry, i think i may have misunderstood the OP

if your root wp root is site.tld/blog, i do not think you could have a bbpress 2.x forum at site.tld/forum, unless maybe some .htaccess trick might allow it

Thank you very much for your answer Sam Rohn.

They seem to have found a solution here:

I need serious help with bbpress integration

but the solution isn’t public, they didn’t share it unfortunately.

I’ll be forced to work on the .htaccess file, I guess.
