vBAdvanced Homepage

I installed vBAdvanced and renamed my index.php to forum.php cmps_index.php to index.php to have the vBAdvanced Homepage as index for my site.

When I try to link to the index page ( index.php ) in the navbar, vBSEO automatically rewrites the URL to forum.php.

I could fix this by disabling 'Force Forum Root as Homepage?' but is that the only way?

Thanks.

Yes, that option should be used only when vBulletin's index.php is used.

So it's ok for me to have it off? It doesn't affect SEO?

It should be enabled when vBulletin's index.php is used and disabled when other index.php is uploaded (like vBa cmps).

Ok. Thanks.
