Kyle F Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 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"?
Daniel F Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 Have you moved it probably to a sub director?
Kyle F Posted February 1, 2021 Author Posted February 1, 2021 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.
CoffeeCake Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 I think you can fix this by setting Forums as the default app in the ACP under applications. I think?

CoffeeCake Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) 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, 2021 by Paul E.
bfarber Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 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. Jordan Miller 1
