How can I change the forum root url?

[vexx]

Hey,

I have the CMS and Blog plugs disabled, I only use the forum on my root site (www.site.com). The problem is that I keep getting the default home page as www.site..com/forum.php. I just want it to be www.site.com...how can I do that?

Rename forum.php to index.php and delete index.html or index.htm files.

For me this did nothing, but I am trying to move my index.php file url to the root and take off the www.

So We Hypnosis Forum and Community - Home [CMS root]

To wehypnosis.com/

I have tried .htaccess but this loops or returns nothing.

Hi Brian,

I have done what you suggested on 301 redirecting non-www to www but yet on my forum homepage I am still seeing the Forum link in the menu navigational bar and the logo image linking to www.mydomain.com/forums/forum.php

I would like the logo image and the Forum link to go to www.mydomain.com/forums/ . Please advise me how this can be done. Thanks!

Ok I found a solution, just had to change forum to index on the Forums Home Page Options in admincp and set it to redirect index.php to the root folder in vbseo settings.
