All my forum links lead to 404 in my main website Error not found links?

Don't know why, any way to solve this?

thanks for the help.

*tried to change htaccess.txt to .htacess and it made the forum links to go .html from .php and still didnt work.

The MyBB rewrite rules are overriden by the wordpress one, you probably have to add an exclusion (in the wordpress .htaccess) for the forum directory, or add the mybb rewrite rules in the wordpress .htaccess.

You can try adding, at the beginning of your wordpress rewrite-rules:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/forum/.*$

And don't forget to rename the MyBB htaccess.txt into .htaccess

You can try to put the rules from the MyBB .htaccess in the Wordpress .htaccess, after having removed the line I suggest you, and with a small correction:

Hey,
Thanks for the help I ended up removing some of the original wordpress .htaccess file, a plugin blocked the link.
