 * Hello,
 * I have a small problem with my wordpress and my forum.
    Every time i activate
   the friendly URLs I need to use the htaccess file to activate the rewrite rules,
   till now, everything was ok.
 * The problem is, I have the wordpress on the root url (/) and the forum
    on sub
   folder (/mi/) so every time I try access the forum, wordpress take over the URL
   and display 404Error page.
 * my forum have it’s own htaccess file, but it seems to be useless since
    wordpress-
   on the root- have one too.
 * can anyone please tell he how to solve this and have friendly URLs with
    wordpress
   and the forum?
 * htaccess file from the forum:
 *     ```
