 * 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 [http://www.talkwestham.com](http://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.
