I followed all of the instructions and have successfully installed Simple:Press on my site, yay! If you go to http://semiditone.com and then click "blog", you will see where WP and the forum links are. My goal at the moment is to make http://semiditone.com/forum (aka the "forum" button on the main page) lead to the forum. At the moment, the forum is located at http://semiditone.com/blog/?page_id=7

Is there any way I can change this? I know it can be done, http://iphoneblogr.com/forum/ as an example. That's exactly what I want mine do. Yeah, I want the sidebar gone and the forum widened and centered also. But I think I found a thread that can help me with that already. I just want this link fixed first, can anyone help me? The sooner the better, I want my site up and running within the next week.

since your wp site is using the default permalinks, the forum, as a wp page, gets the default permalinks too…

and since your blog (ie wp) is defined on your site to be /blog, then forum will be at a lower level than that… ie blog/forum if you changed to pretty permalinks on wp instead of default… the site you reference has the main url as the wordpress site while yours is down one level…

if you want the forum page, again part of your blog, not the parent site, you will need to get set up a redirection in your .htaccess or find a wp plugin that lets you redirect a wp page to its own domain/subdomain…
