Hi,

On my website I have in root folder of the domain (www.example.com/) all html static pages. Some time ago I installed on that website the WordPress package, for blogging. As it was allowed in standard setup, WordPress files are located in http://www.example.com/wp/ folder and blog is accessible via http://www.example.com/blog/.

Recently I decided to add forum to the site, using existing WordPress installation. After bbress plugin installation, when I configure the forum, it is by default appended to blog – current WordPress starting folder and addressed as http://www.example.com/blog/forum/, which is messy and confusing.

How to setup bbpress in this environment to have forum root separated and directed to http://www.example.com/forum/ in parallel to blog http://www.example.com/blog/?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Any idea how to setup bbress plugin to separate /forum in the address line from /blog, having forum at the root level?

Try creating a page with the same slug and associate it with forums base slug.

Thanks, I was already trying that and the result was the same: http://www.example.com/blog/forum/. Maybe I did something wrong… How should I do it properly?

Does anyone know whether it’s possible to solve this /blog/forum/ issue and eventually how to setup bbPress plugin?

[marius2z]

Is there anybody who can clarify whether there is a method of installing and/or setting up the bbPress plugin to access the blog and forum separately via virtual /blog and /forum subfolders respectively, having physically installed WordPress files in domain.com/wp subfolder?

well this is what I want to do but I want to have no blog folder, just have the blog on root and the forum in /forum folder.
