I currently have a WordPress blog setup at the following web address: http://www.itsalltech.com and a forum set up on http://www.itsalltech.com/forum. My question is, how can I make it so that when clicking a category or post, it will get automatically redirected to the forums. Or, how can I incorporate the forums into the site? Thanks for the help!

Perhaps this will help:
You can set it up that when someone clicks on an image they will be brought to your forum, or when they click on a word or words they will be brought to you forum.
To do this with an image (already inserted into your blog), while in the editor, do a left click on the image. A little little picture should appear. Click on that, and in the dialogue box put the address of your forum in the line: link URL.
To do this with words: click on the desired words. Then click on the link icon (looks like a few links of a chain). Then again put the address in the line: link URL.
Does this help?

Could create a page called Forum, then use the http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-links-to/ plugin to redirect that page to your forum URL.

Posted 2 years ago #Thanks. That helped a lot! However, is there any plugin for a category instead of a page because my navigation bar only shows categories. I would have to have a widget.

Don't know of one--you'd have to hardcode the Forum URL in your header.php where you are using categories.
Example:
<li><a href="http://www.domaincom/forum">Forum</a></li> -

This plugin can help for category redirection, if you need it in the future.
