Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted February 1, 20214 yr Hey people. So for some reason after moving my forum to our new permanent domain name; the thread/post URLs are now "forums.<mysite>.co.uk/forums/forum/37-ban-appeals/" for example. How do I make it so it's clean: "forums.domain.co.uk/forum/37-ban-appeals"?
February 1, 20214 yr Author Yeah the URL set in the conf_global.php is "https://forums.evogaming.co.uk". I don't know why it has "/forums/" at the end? Unless I have made a mistake somewhere? At the time of doing it I was also doing multiple other things as well.
February 1, 20214 yr I think you can fix this by setting Forums as the default app in the ACP under applications. I think?

February 2, 20214 yr Hmm... I'm not understanding. I don't think you can do what you're wanting to do. Either forums is the default app at the root of your subdomain, or it resides at some subdirectory. You can change it from /forums to something else by modifying the furl.json file in the forums application directory. Edited February 2, 20214 yr by Paul E.
February 2, 20214 yr If any app other than forums is the default app, then all forum URLs will be prefixed with /forums as you are noticing. Unfortunately that's not something that can change without a plugin, or by making Forums the default application.
