My wordpress page is set to www.maddenstudents.com/home. How do I get it so that my wordpress page automatically comes up when I type in www.maddenstudents.com instead of the forum.

Have you got access to your cPanel? If so why not use a redirect in there. If you don't have cPanel or access then why not drop a redirect in the htaccess file in the public_html folder. Its simple enough to do.

Something like the code below you would be looking for

PHP Code:

# .htaccess main domain to subfolder redirect
# Copy and paste the following code into the .htaccess file
# in the public_html folder of your hosting account
# make the changes to the file according to the instructions.

# Do not change this line.
RewriteEngine on

# Change yourdomain.com to be your main domain.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?maddenstudents.com$ [NC]

# Change 'subfolder' to be the folder you will use for your main domain.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/home/

# Don't change these lines.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# Change 'subfolder' to be the folder you will use for your main domain.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /home/$1 [L]

# Change yourdomain.com to be your main domain again.
# Change 'subfolder' to be the folder you will use for your main domain
# followed by / then the main file for your site, index.php, index.html, etc.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?maddenstudents.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ home/index.php [L]
