Hi @deall & @robin-w,
I found this topic by googling around because I am having an issue and I think my issue is the reason this Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug (Recommended)
option is recommended. If you don’t prefix, you can run into URL conflict issues. For example, if your forum is on your homepage, and there is no prefix, your pagination links will be something like www.{your_site_url}.com/page/2
. The problem is www.{your_site_url}.com/page
may be one of your pages. Obviously you could also have a page named ‘forums’, but it’s much less likely.
Does this explanation sound correct?
