Using the forum on the home page

Возникла небольшая проблема при использовании форума в качестве главной страницы сайта.

При нажатии на вкладку «форум» в меню форума, открывается страница с добавлением URL «форум». Оказывается, главная страница дублируется вкладкой меню.

Убедитесь сами, как главная страница со ссылкой в ​​меню форума дублирует главную страницу (созданы две основные страницы форума).

Можно ли как-то исправить дубликаты? Спасибо заранее за вашу поддержку!

Currently appointed page to the forum and the main page redirected to it.

Hello @nelamzin

Actually the pages are not duplicated. Both pages are internally the same, just the slug got removed on the homepage.

The reason why I redirect to the “real” page instead is to avoid possible problems which can occur when you use other pages. Think about the following example:

  • The forum is located at your frontpage
  • You are using another plugin for frontend-profile-management which is available on your-site.com/profile
  • Without locating to the real forum-page either your forum-profiles or your frontend-profile-management page would not accessible anymore because it would be impossible for WordPress to decide which page you actually want to access
  • The same can happen with every other combination of identical page-slugs and reserved forum-keywords

To prevent those problems – which occur in other forum-plugins like wpForo for example – a redirect is necessary. If you want to get rid of duplicate search-engine-indexing you can define a .htaccess-rule which redirects frontpage-visitors automatically to your forum-page.

okay, thank you. I understand.
