Need Wordpress help on something very simple -- direct linking from a page link

    Mmmk, I am a total Wordpress noob so please bear with me. On my site, I have a few page categories...Blog, Forums, and About. I want the "Forums" page to directly link to mysite.net/forums. I've tried using direct linking and re-directing in my HTML, but it's produced the wrong results for me. What's the proper code/setting to get this done?

    That is easy...when you install it it is under preferences

    Since I guess you installed it, just go under wp admin and options to change it
    Best of luck!

    That's not quite the problem I'm having...I guess it's OK for me to post my site just to make things clearer.

    On cashgamers.net, I have 3 different categories under my header: Blog, Forums, and About. I want my Forum category to be a direct link to cashgamers.net/forums. Right now, I have Forums set as a URL re-direct, but that's not what I want -- and if I try to use code for direct linking, Wordpress tries to access a page_id#.

    The solution to this is probably really easy, but I've been stuck on this for a while..

    I ended up figuring it out -- I used a 3rd party plug-in to do it.
