If I change the forum type to Category, is there a way to have the permalink structure change to “permalink” instead of “forum”? For example right now it’s:

http://www.mysite.com/forum/title-of-forum

But I want to change the type to Category, so it would then read:

http://www.mysite.com/category/title-of-forum

Can someone help with this?
Thanks!

Hi Matt,
If you want to change it to ‘category’ ALWAYS, then just change the forum root slug (‘Settings > Forums’).

For permalinks based on the forum type, I know that people are busy with a plugin for now (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/any-way-to-eliminate-redundancyweirdness-in-permalinks-i-e-forumsforum/page/3/) and maybe in 2.7 or later it might be included.
