WordPress and IP.Board 404 errors

  • Hi All,

    I have WP installed at root and IP.Board installed at /forums

    When trying to access any of the forums/topics from my WP home page at https://www.talkwestham.com I am returned with a 404 error but I can access all WP pages/posts fine.

    When I return the permalink structure in WordPress back to default everything works, when I change it to a custom structure say /%category%/%postname%/ the 404’s start again when trying to access my forums only…

    My .htaccess is being written as I deleted it and WordPress rewrote another one with;

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Dave

    It’s funny how things turn out sometimes. Within miniutes of posting this problem the penny dropped and I solved it.

    I didn’t have a seperate .htaccess in my /forums folder.

    So I now have .htaccess for WordPress at root and a .htaccess in /forums.

    Doh!

    Still, I hope this helps someone else out.
