Forum plugin HELP!
-
Ok, I am going to try and explain this as best as possible if i miss something out please ask. I need help so please read the full posting.
Right, I have a website. Its FourQuotes.co.uk Its a standard .php built site. I wanted to add a forum to the site so here is what i did. In my server i made a directory /forum.
I then installed wordpress onto this forum. Everything worked fine.
Then I got a wordpress forum plugin called Mingle Forum. Its amazing and I am happy with it.
Here is how it works. You make a new page on the wordpress website and add the code [mingleforum] to the HTML of that page. Then you install the plugin and boom, when you go to that page the forum is all there. PERFECT!
Only thing is, this plugin has now got a page called /forum. So the directory for the forum is now, /forum/forum
Now. The reason this is happening is because I installed wordpress on a directory rather than just adding it to a wordpress website.
So What did i do, well i changed the homepage of the wordpress site to /forum. This works fine. BUT there is a feature in the forum plugin to have SEO friendly URL’s when this is turned on, when you click on a topic they go to page not found.
Because its trying to access /forum/’pagename’ but technically this is incorrect, it should go to /forum/forum/’pagename’
When I turn off SEO friendly URL’s it works again.
So the solution i have thought of is, simply edit the php/html of the ‘latest posts homepage’. If i can add [mingleforum] or the full html coding to this to the latest posts homepage then /forum should work prefect and all URL’s will be correct.My question is, how do I edit this latest posts homepage and how do i add [mingleforum] to this page. [mingleforum] is not the full coding so what is?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING ALL THAT ANY HELP WILL BE MASSIVELY APPRECIATED!
