I upgrade to EasyDiscuss 4 and everything appears to have gone well except for the following 2 issues with respect to the URLs

1. URL structure has changed to include IDs
They have changed from
/community/category/subcategory/topic
like
https://www.orthogate.org/community/hip/rehabilitation-following-hip-fracture-surgery/rehab-following-hip-suurgery

to
https://www.orthogate.org/community/87-hip/97-rehabilitation-following-hip-fracture-surgery/53-rehab-following-hip-suurgery

where they are including IDs

I have tried to resave the Community menu item but that did not make a difference

I have changed and used the 2 different Search Engine url methods to let EasyDiscuss set itself or to enter in the one to use and it does not remove the IDs

2. There is now a Forums item
https://www.orthogate.org/community/forums
But there is only 1 Forum

If you goto Categories
https://www.orthogate.org/community/categories
Then you see all the categories and subcategories

The URLs for these are like
https://www.orthogate.org/community/categories/2-ankle/3-ankle-anatomy

and again have IDs present

But if you goto the Frontpage layout for EasyDiscuss and look at the URL for the Category shown for the Topic is is instead

https://www.orthogate.org/community/forums/87-hip/97-rehabilitation-following-hip-fracture-surgery

and now includes community/forums/

How to fix these issues with the URLs now?
We do not want /forums/ present and need to get rid of all the IDs so our current URLs are same as previous URLs

Hi Christian,

Kindly find my response for your inquiries below:
1. URL structure has changed to include IDs

-> May I know do you have enable unicode alias setting? (Settings>Search engine>general>allow unicode aliases) https://www.screencast.com/t/Zs1NX7QnG3

How to fix these issues with the URLs now?
We do not want /forums/ present and need to get rid of all the IDs so our current URLs are same as previous URLs

-> In EasyDiscuss, we have 2 different view which is forum view and category view. If you view the category in forum view it will redirect to forum view of the certain category, same as the category view. If you view certain category in category view the url will append the categories (which mean category view)
category view -all post was listed in the topic: https://www.screencast.com/t/vwwhMEeje4Gy
forum view - grouped by forum : https://www.screencast.com/t/HTjNgr2Yp
and unfortunately, it is not possible to remove /forums from the url.

Hope this will helps
