Sticky How to implement Search Engine Optimisation - SEO - in Joomla

Hello,

What you want should be the default if you turn on both the Joomla Search Engine Friendly URLs and the Kunena Search Engine Friendly URLs. This is assuming you're not using any 3rd party SEO extensions. Also, your menu items need to be organized properly for this to work. Ideally, your Kunena Configuration Report would give us a better idea of what might be misconfigured on your site. See the instructions at the top of this page for more information.

hi

im new here so apologies if this has been mentioned before.

I have installed Joomla 2.5.3 and Kunena 1.7.2

i have instlaled it in

/forum/index.php/forum

but can someone help me to change it so it says

/forum/

and also how to display the forum on the front page of the joomla site so when a visitors visits my site ie domain.co.uk they see the forum first

many thanks

G'day, gyounger1, and welcome to Kunena.

The answer to your first question is to read Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) in the Wiki and implement accordingly.

The answer to your second question is to make the forum menu item in your main menu the default one; see How to make Kunena menu item the "default" one?

When the URL ist part of joomla the error site 404.html is working when the URL is not compleat or wrong, when the URL beginns with an KUNEA link and ends wrong... " www.stoma-ok.at/index.php/forum-2/ind (...last part is missing), this 404.html is not called. Then i only get the Error-message from the appache-server "404 - Kunena function "ind" not found"
How can i fix this problem?

krebsinfo: I suggest that you read Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) in the Wiki and implement accordingly.

running Joomla 2.5 and want to install K 1.7.2

In the install guide, one of the requirements is to implement Joomla SEO.
docs.kunena.org/index.php/Search_engine_optimization_%28SEO%29

On step 2, it saids I have to select Yes of Use Apache mod_rewrite.

On my backend, I don't see a "Use Apache mod_rewrite". Instead, I see a "Use URL Rewriting", which also requires htaccess.txt to be renamed to .htaccess.

Is "Use Apache mod_rewrite" and "Use URL Rewriting" the same thing when it comes to Joomla 2.5?

Thank you
