XF 2.2 URL

[Resolute]

How do I get my forum to not show the index.php? For example, it shows this when going to my site: mydomain.com/index.php

I have seen other forums using XenForo where the index.php part doesn’t show when visiting the homepage of forum.

Hope I’m making sense lol

1. Use the ACP search engine and type Friendly then check Use full friendly URLs
2. rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess on your server
3. that's it

The above solution is applicable to Apache. You will also need mod_rewrite enabled. For nginx it is a little more involved but it is covered in our manual:

Options overview | Manual | XenForo

End-user documentation for XenForo

xenforo.com

That worked.

But how do I get the URL structure to be like this when clicking on one of the forums in a category: domain.com/forums/new-members-welcome/

How do I get rid of those numbers that are in the URL still?

 

[Chris D]

You can edit the node and give it a "URL portion".

Note that if you provide a "URL portion" and you ever change it to something else then old links to the old URL portion will no longer work. Easily solved with a server-side redirect but ideally don't change the URL portion unless totally necessary.

How do I remove this from a posts URL: #post-1

 

[Chris D]

You can’t. That’s an anchor URL to make sure the browser scrolls to the correct post.
