Index issues

[80sDude]

For the life of me I can't figure out how to make it that when someone types in example.com to go automatically to https:// example.com /forums..... I even did the redirect in my cpanel and it still doesn't work. It always goes to the index and shows the contents. Any ideas? Thanks

There's a million ways to do it. Redirects in nginx, apache, .htaccess files, a simple php script.

For starters, if there's only a forum on the domain, then don't stick the forum in a subfolder in the first place, and the index.php in the root will be the forum index.
