    Posted: 10 November 2005 at 10:30pm
Hello everybody - I'm new to WebWizForums and I have a question.

Is it possible to rename the "forum" folder to "forums"?  This is because I already have another forum set up on the site (in a folder called "forum"), and I would like to keep it running until I get the WebWiz forum installed and running, and then close the other one down.

If so, are there any modifications I will need to make elsewhere (files, database), or can I just create a folder called "forums" on my site and copy all the files up?

Thanks in advance.

You can place the forums files in to a folder named anything you like with any problems. This site uses a folder called BBS.

You just can't change the names of the folders within the forum folder, eg. admin, includes, functions, etc.
