Embedded forum's navigation links don't point to embedded URL

Quick post - I'm using an embedded forum at /forum, this is configured correctly but the links in the embedded forum's navigation bar all point to /vanilla/foobar - why isn't this dynamically sorted based on the embedded setting?

    I believe you may need to change your .htaccess. There are notes inside if your forum is not in /vanilla directory some hosts need the

      # Certain hosts may require the following line.
   # If vanilla is in a subfolder then you need to specify it after the /. 
   # (ex. You put Vanilla in /forum so change the next line to: RewriteBase /forum)
   # RewriteBase /

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

    Thanks for the reply. No luck though.

    My forum is at /vanilla and the embedded instance is at /forum - any other ideas? Or what that htaccess file should contain?

    start with posting your .htaccess and maybe you can get some feedback.

    Sure - the .htaccess for the WordPress site, or for /vanilla ?

    Sorry about the state of the code on each line there - not super impressed with code block mode.

    On closer inspection, it seems these links work fine in the embedded forum, they just point to Vanilla. Sorry - I'm not sure if this started working due to the .htaccess edit you recommended or if I only visually inspected them before, but thanks for the help!
