Remove "forum" from the url /forums/forum/ - VB 5.2.2
Hi,
We upgraded from VB 4 to VB 5.2.2 and we've expereinced many many broken links. Also, the biggest issue right now is to get rid of the "forum" from the url. Our forums are located under the /forums/ directory which makes the url www.xyz.com/forums/forum/ We would like it to be www.xyz.com/forums/ and that's it. Can please someone point us in the right direction? |

The short answer is you cannot.
Technically you can change it to something else (not remove) if you do some direct edits in the route table. I've heard of someone doing it via .htaccess redirects, but I would think that quite flakey. |

OR, you can open site builder on each forum page, edit the url and save. I did it on mine, about 60 forums/categories (at the time), took a couple hours.

I have 10,000+ forum threads, so should I be changing each page? Or just the category page and all only?

Enjoy the vbulletin 5 feature
Also id you can edit the url path like mentioned above, you should be able to put together a db query to run it in the database. Quicker if you have 100's of edits. |

Categories and forums. Not threads thread.

So the individual posts url will remove the /forum/ from it too? |

The individual threads will have the url path of their parent.
On my forum: before changing the 69-72-first-gen forum url Code:
http://www.k5blazersplus.com/forums/forum/main-forum/build-threads/chevy/69-72-first-gen/nodeid-thread-name Code:
http://www.k5blazersplus.com/forums/69-72-first-gen/nodeid-thread-name |

I also have a same question like yours for my forum but it is impossible to change that unless you have to do custom codes for it like I am using for my forum now.
