Please help.

The http:// of my site doesn't work and it needs to be www. for some reason.

I've tried using .htaccess to put www. in URL but for some reason it redirects to my main directory of the site and this is a problem with my forum.

CODE

http://example.com/forum

- doesn't work
But @

CODE

http://www.example.com/forum

- it does work

What can I put in the forum directory to make it load as www. ?

WordPress is the one making the main directory work fine with www. with a strange code.

Means what exactly?

Wordpress takes control of the domain's root URL when you install it at the root level. You probably just need to redirect your www-less domain name to your www-domain name. I don't think it's advisable to fight with Wordpress in your .htaccess file. If you feel uncomfortable with Wordpress' choices, you can move it to a sub-domain or sub-directory.
