I have v-bulletin 3.8.4 and am also using the vbadvanced portal. I had my site switched from my one domain and uploaded it to another. However my home button, when clicked on, still goes back to my 1st domain. I'd like it go go to my vbadvanced portal home page on the 2nd site. When i click on the "home" link it now redirects to the GoDaddy domain parking page where i have my 1st domain parked. How can i change this? Any help would be appreciated and please understand im not as advanced as most of you so plain english please lol.

the best place to get support for vbadvanced is at their own forums, www.vbadvanced.com

Off hand I think in vbadvanced cms settings there is an option for the homepage url or something like that- I would check that and make sure it has been updated.

Thanx for the direction, i checked those setting earlier but didnt notice anything where i could change the url. I did post this problem on the vbadvanced as per your suggestion. I wasnt sure if this was a vbadvanced issue or vbulletin since i did not install the forum. The person i had to do it for me no longer does this type of work.

Thanx for your reply :)

You could try the following: turn on "Template Names in HTML Comments" by going to the admin control panel, and then vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments and set to "Yes". Then go to your home page and view the source and search for your old domain name and see where it comes up, then go to that template and see if it's there (or it could be a variable in it's place).

This may or may not work but I think it's what I'd do to start out.

Here is the link to my site so you know what im talking about:
http://www.goiflfans.com

The "HOME" link in the vb up left nav bar goes to default landing page for godaddy where i have the old domain parked.

The "Homepage" link i have in the vbadvanced which is located on the right side of the home page works fine. I think this might be something within vb forum which need editing. Just not sure where.

OK, do you know what template the "Home" button is in? I guess it's either navbar or header.

BTW, tried to register so I could see the home button but I didn't know the answer to the question.

forgot to change that but the answer is "Reading".

I found in the navbar template it says this. Do i just edit this via the admin cp here to goiflfans.com?:

<!-- nav buttons bar -->
<div class="tborder" style="padding:$stylevar[cellspacing]px; border-top-width:0px">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
<if condition="$show['member']">


<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.expressfans.net">Home</a>


<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>

I think maybe change it to say index.php like this:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="index.php">Home</a>

That way if you change again some day it may not be a problem.
