    getting rid of content/

    OK I have my main forum in /home/user/public_html/

    When I install VBSEO and try to go to cms it brings me to http://www.mysite.com/content/

    I want to get rid of the content ending as my cms is my main page, so I would like when someone goes to http://www.mysite.com/ that the URL stays there rather than automatically redirecting to http://www.mysite.com/content/

    I tried everything to get rid of this in both the VBSEO and VB admin settings and the only thing that worked was:
    URL REWRITE SETTINGS-> CMS URLS -> Advanced ->CMS Home set to custom
    and leave the value blank.

    Then everything seems to work correctly except now I get the error:
    The following URL formats are currently empty and should be corrected:
    VBSEO_URL_CMS_HOME

    any ideas as to what I am doing wrong or how I can configure my board to have CMS as the main homepage?

    i had the same issue and i just fixed it, here is how i did it.


    Go to VBSEO CP >> URL Reweite Settings -> CMS => Advanced Settings tab

    And just delete content/ from the boxes (
    Custom ones)

    And if custom is not selected for any option, just select custom, copy-paste the first option in the box bellow it , and just exclude the content/ in the beginning.

    That's it!

    and then go to >>> Custom Rewrite Rules and add the following lines at the end

    '^forum\.php$' => 'forum/'
    '^content\.php$' => '/'


    The first line changes yourdomain .com/forum.php to yourdomain .com/forum/ (when you click on the Forum link in the top menu)

    and the second line changes yourdomain .com/content.php to yourdomain .com/ (when you click on the Home link in the top menu)
