XF 2.1 Can account upgrades be route filtered?

[alternadiv]

Just wondering if I can make https://tacoma3g.com/account/upgrades something like https://tacoma3g.com/merch/ ? It didn't work when I tried it.

Yeah you can.

I did that but it didn't actually change it.

It won't redirect the existing account/upgrades/ URL if you go directly to it. But it will replace it anywhere it's linked in the navigation, account section menu etc.

You could try a 301 redirect on /account/upgrades/ if you want the existing URL to end up at /merch/ if someone tries an old link.

I see what you mean. https://tacoma3g.com/ -- If you click the STICKERS/PATCHES link in the navigation, it doesn't change it, because that navigation is using the original link.

So, by this logic, I have to update the navigation link to https://tacoma3g.com/merch/ -- correct?

Yep, you can either hard code the nav link to merch.

Or use {{ link('account/upgrades') }} as the link in the public navigation manager and it will always update to what you define in the route filter

Thank you! I had no idea about the second option. I love route filters, so it is good to know I can do it that way for everything now.
