Forums with same names but in different categories...

Forums with the same names (but are in different categories) are all getting redirected to the first one. I could change all of the forum names, but is there another way to do it?

Thanks,


You can see the problem here:
WoW Guides - GuideWiki - World of Warcraft, Warcraft 3, GuildWars Guides
Both the 'World of Warcraft' forum here: Guides - WoW Guides - GuideWiki - World of Warcraft, Warcraft 3, GuildWars Guides
And here:
Game Discussions - WoW Guides - GuideWiki - World of Warcraft, Warcraft 3, GuildWars Guides
And here:
Featured Guides - WoW Guides - GuideWiki - World of Warcraft, Warcraft 3, GuildWars Guides

All share this link (even though they are in different categories):
World of Warcraft - WoW Guides - GuideWiki - World of Warcraft, Warcraft 3, GuildWars Guides

Your two options are to
  • re-name forums so there's no conflicting (regardless of parents)
  • add the ID to the URL (ie, /forumname-1/ )

You would add the [forum_id] variable into your rewrite settings from within your vbseocp.php.

Alright, thanks alot for the help. The problem was that I didn't see the [+] and didn't expand the setting options.

Thanks,
