Hi,

Our website is https://www.condobbs.com/forums/

When I click on the city Richmond Hill, it will change the URL in the address bar to https://www.condobbs.com/forums/forum/ontario/richmond-hill

Then when I click on anything below that, it changes the URL in the address bar to:

https://www.condobbs.com/forums/forum/empire-communities-the-vineyards/chateau-club-rec-centre

OR

https://www.condobbs.com/forums/forum/empire-communities-the-vineyards/-310-red-maple-rd


ETC...


I want https://www.condobbs.com/forums/forum/ontario/richmond-hill to always be there for all the ones under the city Richmond Hill, this helps with the SEO.

So basically it would be https://www.condobbs.com/forums/forum/ontario/richmond-hill/empire-communities-the-vineyards/chateau-club-rec-centre


That's how its supposed to be anyways but its not displaying right.

How can I do this? please help me to explain.


Thank you.

I'm pretty sure that you can't change the URL structure. At least, I haven't been able to find a way to do so in the vBulletin 5 settings (correct me if I'm wrong, anyone).

Sure, URL structure matters when it comes to SEO but I doubt it will affect your rankings that much. I did some digging and what seems to matter more than the URL structure when it comes to SEO is content quality and backlinks.

You could change the url by edit pages with pagebuilder. Don't know if this works but you could try.
