    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.

    Thanks,
