I used to have my forum on the root directory and a Wordpress blog on /blog, but I wanted to switch them around. Now Wordpress is on the root and the MyBB is on /forum.

I changed the cookie domain as well as the forum directory in the settings, but now whenever I click on a forum, thread or member I will be redirected to my Wordpress blog with an Error 404 message. Every other link seems to work fine.

I have got Google SEO installed and have tried deactivating it, but it hasn't worked.

Any help?

Edit: I tried disabling all plugins, but no joy.
double check the URLs you are using and attention to slashes, and file ext
I'm certain the URLs are right. I changed the Board URL, Homepage URL and the Cookie Domain to the new URL.

But, for example, http://thesurvivorsboard.co.uk/forum/For...d-Feedback takes you to the Wordpress page as opposed to the actual forum's page.

What was it before you changed,...while I look.
Originally my forum was just on http://www.thesurvivorsboard.co.uk (the root).
I've now moved it to /forum.

The blog was originally on/blog.
I've now moved it to http://www.thesurvivorsboard.co.uk
Change this setting:
Admin Control Panel -> Configuration -> Settings -> General Configuration -> Board URL
To
Quote:http://www.thesurvivorsboard.co.uk/forum
I've already done that. As well as the Cookie Domain.

Edit: Ok, easier way to explain it.

/forum/index.php works, /forum/whatevermyadmindirectoyis works etc., but any forums, any threads and any users will come up with a 404 on the Wordpress site.
Oh yes sorry should of mentioned that in my post as well!
Could you paste the code of your header template in these tags: [code]Header Here[/code]
Would come up as:
Header Here
<div id="games_background">
<div id="menu_container">
    			<div id="pagemenucontainer">
    				<ul id="pagemenu">
