How to change the url of a forum page?

It’s real?

For example:

forum/how-i-spent-summer
on:
forum/hiss

Thank you.

Hey @sea34,

it’s not possible to change the slug within Asgaros Forum. I’ve already created a feature request on GitHub:

https://github.com/Asgaros/asgaros-forum/issues/302

But you can change the slug manually within the database:

  • Create a Backup of your database
  • Go to the table “wp_forum_forum”
  • Search the forum that you want to change
  • Change the slug in the column “slug”

Pleas keep in mind that the slug has to be unique and must not contain any special characters.

Thank you. And when do you plan to realize this opportunity? This is just a project, isn’t it?

Hey @sea34,

we don’t have any schedule for that at the moment. We still have quite a lot of changes on our list on GitHub. So we have to see what we are going to do next. And the time that we have is quite limited since we are doing that only in our free time.

  • Go to the table “wp_forum_forum”

 

Can you tell me a more precise way to find this table?

Do you have access to your database? You would have to log in at the provider of your webserver. In there you have to navigate to the database (usually PHPMyAdmin is used for that).

In there you will find all the tables of the database. “wp_” is just a prefix and can be different in your setup. So just search for a table like “{PREFIX_} forum_forum”

There are long slugs, like this:

% d0% bf% d1% 80% d0% b0% d0% b2% d0% b8% d0% bb% d1% 8c% d0% bd% d0% be% d0% b5-% d0% bf% d1% 80% d0% b8% d0% b3% d0% be% d1% 82% d0% be% d0% b2% d0% bb% d0% b5% d0% bd% d0% b8% d0% b5-% d0% b5% d0 % b4% d1% 8b

But this is not the forum url.
Or can these slugs be replaced with regular addresses, for example: forum/topic-about-tourism ??

Can you please share a screenshot?

Hey @sea34,

it seems like this is Unicode for Cyrillic characters. Did try to change them manually before? Asgaros Forum usually replace them with Latin letters.

How is it shown in the browser? (like /forum/???)

Usually, there is only saved the slug so if you want to have “forum/topic-about-tourism” you have to insert “topic-about-tourism”. I’m not 100% sure if it will work with your settings.

Please always make a backup of your database before making any changes!!

But with a backup, I would just try to change it change it back if it would cause any errors.
