Reply To: Remove “forum” from url slug
Will it create any problems changing it or why is this function like this (wouldn’t everybody like it unticked I mean?)?
It should not create problems if you untick.
the forums part just gives a consistent custom post structure so you have
/forums/forum/forum-name
/forums/topic/topic-name
/forums/reply/replyid
If you are running multiple forum platforms (eg bbpress alongside say wpforo or asgaros etc. – say you are transitioning), then this structure makes sense.
My personal view is that only site admins ever worry about urls. When was the last time you looked at a url for a site you were visiting.
I just visited Amazon, and this is the url I get
hardly pretty, but do I care one jot – ummmm… no I am interested in content, not the url 🙂
