Kunena 7.0.6 & Kunena 6.4.12 – Security Updates Released
The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 7.0.6 [K 7.0.6] in stable which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 5.4.x/6.0.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 6.2 / K 6.3 / K 6.4 and issues discovered during the last development stages of K 7.0.
The Kunena team is also pleased to announce the twelfth version of Kunena 6.4, a native Joomla extension for Joomla! 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 6.0.
Question Problem with URL aliases
My Kunena menu structure looks like this:
- Forum (Kunena home page) (alias: forum) (linked to menu entry Index)
-- Index (Kunena category list) (alias: index)
In my main-menu I have created a alias to the kunena Forum entry. The link appears in my menu correct with /forum but when I click on it, it gets redirected to /forum/category/list (The same thing happens on your site: www.kunena.org/forum/ ) - Why does this happen? On Kunena 1.7 you could just link to /forum, now it is always /forum/category/index
Best Regards,
Michael

Short answer to you question: these problems are caused by the way you have configured your Joomla menu and they can usually be solved (if you have a good understanding of how the Joomla menuing system works) in about 30 seconds.
For everyone else - which is about 99% of the people who use Joomla - the Joomla menu system is really hard! That's why, in Kunena, we've tried to make things easier by creating standard menu items for you. Without further information I cannot tell you what you may need to change to fix your problem but the easiest thing to do is trash (and delete) all menu items, from all menus, that refer to Kunena and rebuild them. There are other sticky topics in the K 2.0 General Questions category that show you how to rebuild your Kunena menu for K 2.0. Sometimes some of these menuing issues take a little longer than 30 seconds to solve but, after all is said and done, the solution ultimately lies in knowing how to effectively use Joomla Menu Manager. Easy enough to say (when you know how) but, when you don't ... well, there are always experienced professionals who make their business out of solving Joomla problems.
I hope this helps.

When you access www.kunena.org/forum/ you get redirected to www.kunena.org/forum/category/list but it really should only be www.kunena.org/forum/ (or as second best solution www.kunena.org/forum/index as this is your homepage). Ist there a way to fix this behaivor?

Your kunena menu details show 2 entries for Forum, I just checked one of my websites, and it has only one menu called Forum (see below):
Kunena menu details:
| ID | Name | Menutype | Link | Path |
| 1241 | Forum | kunenamenu | view=home&defaultmenu=1243 | forum |
| 1242 | Index | kunenamenu | view=category&layout=list | forum/index |
| 1243 | Recent Topics | kunenamenu | view=topics&layout=default&mode=replies | forum/recent |
| 1244 | New Topic | kunenamenu | view=topic&layout=create | forum/newtopic |
| 1245 | No Replies | kunenamenu | view=topics&layout=default&mode=noreplies | forum/noreplies |
| 1246 | My Topics | kunenamenu | view=topics&layout=user&mode=default | forum/mylatest |
| 1248 | Rules | kunenamenu | view=misc | forum/rules |
| 1250 | Search | kunenamenu | view=search | forum/search |
I would say there is something wrong with your Joomla/Kunena menu setup.
By the way, when I click on the Kunena.org website Forum menu, I get redirected to www.kunena.org/forum/index

There's an issue here.
The issue involves the Joomla menuing system and it involved Kunena.
There is an issue at this website www.kunena.org but I have not investigated its cause or a remedy for it. We'll look into this later.
When you click the menu items, the URL is fine. The issue seems to arise when you enter a URL (or click a hyperlink) that takes the form "http://<domain-name>/forum". Something seems to happen in the Joomla routing that then redirects this URL reference to something "else" ... although, whatever the redirection is, the outcome is actually a good one (even if the URL looks a little odd). I guess the important question is this: what's the penalty in having a URL that's appears a little "quaint" in the address bar of someone's browser? I mean, this happens all the time.
