Forum.php to /forums/

[magz]

Simple one probably, but as in the title, where do i make the change to achieve this?

Thanks

Hi magz,

I use this myself and it is also used at vbseo.com, all you need to do is...

Just add

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

into the Custom Rewrite Rules (CRR) box.

Thank you Ceris.

Just one small thing, my site is in root/forum folder,

using this gives me www.sitename.com/forum/forums/

is there any way to loose the forum?

We had the same problem as magz. Solved it by using

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

instead of

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

.
Is this the right way to do it Ceri?

[magz]

Thanks for that

But after much umming and ahhing, ive decided to put my forum in root folder.

Hi,

Rewrites work best bottom up so the better way is to put everything in root like you have done magz,

engenhariacivil I have never tested that, so I am not sure if it will work, it is not how CRR's are intended to be used however it may very well work **Adds to list to test**
