Question Define Homepage Aliases - please help
I installed vbseo a few weeks ago and it's been fantastic so far. This past week I installed vbadvanced. I've been working on getting vba set up and I have now renamed some required pages.

Before vba went live my forum url was http://www.mysite.com

Now since vba is live my actual forum url is http://www.mysite.com/forums.php and index.php is now pointing to vba.

In the vbseo settings I turned off the "Force Forum Root As Homepage?"

Do you guys think I should mess with the "Define Homepage Aliases?" I'm not sure what to do here? Also any other help/settings you think I should change now that I'm using vbadvanced.

Thanks!

You only want to have 1 version of your homepage. If it's accessible from multiple different paths, it's duplicate content and causes you to lose link consolidation (link consensus).
