I use EasyDiscuss with SEF Enable. currently the URL Alias is the title, this make couple of problems for me:

1. when I change the title of each post, the URL would change, and that makes broken link of ex-link.
2. since there is no ID on the URL, I supposed it makes pressure of server to find and route the URL.

is there better way to manage the URLs?

Hello Hossein,

Yes, by default when you edit your title of post, the alias also will follow and change it.
May i know your URL is using unicode aliases? If yes, you should set this option to YES from your backend > Easydiscuss > Setting > SEO > Allow unicode allies - YES, then the URL should be show out the ID in front of the URL post title.

Can i have your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can help you check on this as well? Please advise.

Hello Hossein,

I can't seem to access the cache page on your Joomla site for some reasons (The page just goes into an infinite loop and hit the 500 Internal Server Error). Can you please purge the cache?

Thank you for your help. it's ok now but we have two problems:

1. Old urls which are indexed in search engines get broken. how can I redirect old URLs to new URLS with ID
2. Please let me know about the files you modified, I want to know them for future update.

Hello Hossein,

Sorry for late reply to this,
Can you try create a test post from your Easydiscuss and see the post ID is it still exist in your URL? Because I believed that you have re-install the Easydiscuss from your site and the modified file already removed. Please advise.

Hi,

after you did some modification on route files, all of the urls were broken. so I reinstall the EasyDiscuss to solve it. after reinstalling the ID was gone like before you start working on it. but since morning, I've realized that the ID present on URL and there is no Error 404 on new URLS. but the problem is huge number of old urls which didn't have ID are broken now.

Hello Hossein,

Sorry for late reply to this,
I believed that the Google need time to regenerate the link from their search engine , because they will not immediately to re-index.
Also can you guide us how the step you trying to search in Google about your discussion post? Please advise.
