Question "index.php" appears in Kunena urls

Hi all

I am seeing a lot of issues on my Google webmaster on duplicate URL's.

On frontend a url would look like this:
https://www..it/forum/aiutatemi/490-recupero-secco

But apparantly this URL also works and is not redirected:
https://www..it/index.php/forum/aiutatemi/490-recupero-secco

I am seeing all these urls with index.php in it on google webmaster, which is sending me warnings about a lot of duplicate urls being found.

Is this a setting I am missing? All urls on my site do not show this index.php?

Regards
Oscar

No idea if that cause the problem, but you have wrong routes in your menus. The menu item "Bonsai forum" in the kunena menus is aimless "view=home&defaultmenu=115"
The menu item with the ID 115 does not exists in your Kunena menu. Maybe therefore you've a redirect.
You have two menu items in the main menu which linked to the forum. But I can see only one of this menu item in the configuration report.
The menu item with the ID 123 is correct but I can't say if the second item is also correct.

Please read this docs:
docs.kunena.org/en/troubleshooting/menu-issues
docs.kunena.org/en/faq/kunena-menu

Have you tried to disallow:
/index.php/ in robots.txt?

Hi guys!
Menu seems alright. I noticed the "index.php" links are only added in the breadcrumbs. If I disable the breadcrumbs in the template settings (paid Blue Eagle5) there are no links with index.php anymore.
So is it a template error? How can I fix it?

And blocking it in the robots.txt file seems a bit aggressive, is it not hurting any other page on my site?

Menu seems alright. I noticed the "index.php" links are only added in the breadcrumbs. If I disable the breadcrumbs in the template settings (paid Blue Eagle5) there are no links with index.php anymore.

I think, it has nothing to do with Blue Eagle. You mean the menus seem alright? I say No! Have you not noticed if you click on "Indice", that this tab is not highlighted?

Btw: If you mean, it is a problem with Blue Eagle, you must create a own topic in the category for Blue Eagle. www.kunena.org/forum/blue-eagle-5
Problems with Blue Eagle are invariably discussed only in this category.

The robots.txt is only instructions to Google Bot and other bots, how to search your site. The result of robots.txt only affects search results. There are certain things on the site that should be hidden for robots like files to hide from hackers.

Ah I changed the 'index' link in the menu because I want the main page to be /forum (and not /forum/index). Basically I dont want the /index page at all. Is that possible, without making problems like I do now?
