Duplicate Forum Names

[savingadvice]

We have 2 forums with the same name. One is sub-forum. Is there a way to add the forum ID to the URL so there isn't a conflict?

Hello Nate,

yes, you can either change the title of one of subforums or change your forums URL formats to something like:
[forum_title]-[forum_id]/
and
[forum_title]-[forum_id]/index[forum_page].html

You will need to customize your Forum URLs in the vBSEO Control panel, or just change the names of the forums to make them unique.

You will need to click the + sign in the URL Rewrite section to override the default settings.

Then, anywhere you see [forum_title] used, you will need to choose the Custom entry and change [forum_title] to [forum_title]-[forum_id] in all cases.
