Hello,
currently all my forum topics' permalinks contain the forum category name, eg.
aikyam.net/forum/spirito/ascoltando/
I 'd like them to be without the category, like
aikyam.net/forum/ascoltando/
Is this possible?
I can't find any option to manage permalinks in WpForo.
Thank you
Hi @nican,
We're sorry but there is no way to change the permalink structure.
I'll suggest you to check the wpForo short URL. Just click the "link" icon of each post to get a Short and Full URL.
@alvina Thnak you. I think you guys should add this possibility.
Because currently if I move a topic to another category the url changes (because it contains the "category" name).
Using a permalink structure without the category name the url would remain the same even when changing the category.
Another solution would be to automatically add a redirect from the old url to the new one whenever a topic is moved to a different category.
Thanks

Please follow this support topic: https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/when-i-move-all-topics-content-of-forum-a-to-forum-b-how-to-have-the-old-urls-redirect-to-new-forum-with-301-and-not-duplicate-content/#post-45423
It is really nice feature !
However,
Is there any options to use "Short Url" by default in wpforo ?
I mean the global permalink structure for wpforo topics.
Since I am using utf-8 characters on our language which always shorten by wordpress permalink structure which have limited characters, So I would like to use only "Short URL" in systems.
I also try plugin that increase permalink characters but unfortunately it is always have problem when wordpress upgrade version so i have been looking for solution to use clean url like "Short URL" for the whole forum instead.
And currently I learned that, SEO is not have much effect for the keyword on url.
I've just asked our developers about it and currently, I'm waiting for the response from them. I'll update the topic asap.
