If you're like me and have a .htaccess conflicting with your 'archive' folder, then this small simple tutorial will tell you how to get around it and change the location of the 'archive' folder. Note: In this example, I am changing the archive folder to 'lite' - however you can change it to whatever you wish - just change 'lite' to whatever you want.

Open: /archive/global.php

Goto Line 47:

	$base_url = $mybb->settings['bburl']."/archive/index.php?";

Change /archive/ to /lite/

	$base_url = $mybb->settings['bburl']."/lite/index.php?";

Goto Line 65:

	$base_url = $mybb->settings['bburl']."/archive/index.php/";

Change /archive/ to /lite/

	$base_url = $mybb->settings['bburl']."/lite/index.php/";

Goto Line 72:

$archiveurl = $mybb->settings['bburl'].'/archive';

Change /archive to /lite

$archiveurl = $mybb->settings['bburl'].'/lite';

Goto Line 160:

$navbits[0]['url'] = $mybb->settings['bburl']."/archive/index.php";

Change /archive/ to /lite/

$navbits[0]['url'] = $mybb->settings['bburl']."/lite/index.php";

Rename: 'archive' folder to 'lite'

Edit Template: *template set* -> footer
Find:

<archive_url>

Replace:

{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/lite/

Done!

-- EDIT --
It does work too as you can see from my personal forum. (dalehay.com/convo/lite/)

Nice! Gj!
