Adding /forums/ to url

[BamaStangGuy]

I can't find any setting that would suggest why /forums/ is being added to the urls on Jeep Wrangler Forum - Jeep Wrangler Owners Community in the Vendor Tools drop down menu. Any ideas?

Was it installed under the /forums/ dir? If so that would cause it have a url structure such as that.

There is no /forums/ directory on WranglerForum. The forum is installed in the root. Is there some setting to define forum directory that I am missing?

There isn't any setting that we manage that would have an effect like this. There are a couple of things to look at. The first is what setting you have for "bburl". This is a standard vBulletin setting and is found under AdminCP >> vBulletin Settings >> Site Name / URL / Contact Details >> Forum URL

This setting should not include forums in the URL.

If it doesn't take a look at the dto_vendor_navbar template and verify it hasn't been modified to use hard URLSs. Each menu entry should use something looking like

PHP Code:

$vboptions[bburl]/dto_vendor.php 


with some additional arguments.

If that is correct the last place to look would be your vBSEO rewrite rules. It may be that "forums" are included in those rewrite rules.

Hopefully one of these options will reveal the issue.

Thanks
