What do you guys recommend I do here?  Sounds like if files are conflicting re installing the forum might not be a viable solution.

If you are willing to do that. Then yes, that would be the best. Remember to backup.

You could try a reinstall in case that was the reason, but I suspect it'll be the same afterwards.

The only way around it is to rename the relevant classes (either in SMF or Wordpress) so that the names are unique. You'll need to do the CSS and the theme's template so they tally.

Don't forget though that when you upgrade at a later date you'll need to remember the changes you've made otherwise they could get overwritten at upgrade. Consequently, make sure you document them in a way you'll understand in a years time.

Basically you've come across one of issues that is quite common when integrating two systems. It's one that is easily overlooked beforehand.

MrPhil:
Are you trying to run SMF and Wordpress in the same directory? That can't be done. They'll interfere with each other. Normally, all applications (such as SMF or Wordpress) should be installed into their own subdirectories (/blog, /forum) precisely for this reason -- so they can't step on each other's toes. You then either have a landing page/portal in the root /, or .htaccess URL rewrite to make either SMF or Wordpress the primary application.
