Hi guys,

I have several groups with one forum named “recruitment”, and because of that, forum slugs are called recruitment-1, recruitment-2 and so on. This is not very good SEO wise and i would like to change the forum slug. But before i do, i want to know it´s okey to do so?

Those forums have lots of threads and it would be a disaster if the posts disapeared.

 

Regards

Thomas

Yes you can change the slugs. Your main issues will be if there are internal references to them in posts – we don’t try going through all the posts in the database and changing them. And they will no longer work, of course, if the old url is used – say from a search engine result.
