Need Help- Does anyone have experience in running Xenforo and WP in Shared hosting ?

Hello all,

Actually I have a wordpress installed in my website i.e. http://www.healthwhoop.com/ (in wp) now I have created forum in http://www.healthwhoop.com/community/ but now problem is that it has index.php extension and runs on both www and no www and if i enable SEO url's then my thread url's take me to home page of wordpress, we have tried many things from htacess file but in vain.
One of my developer friend told me that i will have to modify "Nginx config" file which is not possible in shared hosting, i have raised ticket in xenforo but licence have expired. I tried thread in xenforo i.e. https://xenforo.com/community/threads/how-create-forum-in-wordpress-website.120915/

But in vain, if anyone here can help me fix this i am ready to pay 5$ to him.

Thanks

 

What if you install fresh on addon domain name.

community.healthwhoop.com/

 

Tha

that would had been easy option but i have researched lot on using forum in directory or sub domain and majority have agreed to directory hence want it same way.
tnx mate,
any other solution ?

 

Then just go ahead & install in root directory folder of your main domain . name it "community"

 

If you are not familiar in installation of forum software you can pm me.

 

For SEO purpose, it is always better to use a subdomain for the forum as it is possible for the forum to have spam links and spam messages.
This might affect your WordPress blog too in a long run.
As what @Furquan Ahmed has suggested, community.healthwhoop.com is a better choice.

 

Mate i have done some research and i found directory to be better.

Tnx

 

Sounds like your WP htaccess is overriding XF's, causing friendly URLs to not be matched, which by default will forward you to the main index. Check this article on how to have htaccess "ignore" a directory.
