I am talking about this setting:  Integration => Page and Permalink:

 

I would really like to be able to manually set the current permalink to http://www.die-kellerkinder.eu/ as the forum page that contains the forum is set as the front page so I would have duplicate content as http://www.die-kellerkinder.eu/ would have the same content as http://www.die-kellerkinder.eu/forum/

see screen shot please: http://screencast.com/t/RrIh3ODnW

see screen shot pelase: http://screencast.com/t/prCYCk2rg1

 

I could work around it by redirecting http://www.die-kellerkinder.eu/forum/ to http://www.die-kellerkinder.eu/ but wouldn't it be nicer to have this option built into simple:press?

I would like to have this as well but so far we have not found a neat and tidy way of accomplishing it. It has always been like this - this is not new to V5.

But - to be honest - I have not looked at the situation again lately so I will open up a ticket so we can take a fresh look into it.

I know its an old topic, I opened it a few years ago and was quite surprised to see it is still an issue...

For now I work around it:

 

by redirecting http://www.die-kellerkinder.eu/forum/ to http://www.die-kellerkinder.eu/

 

but wouldn't it be nicer to have this option built into simple:press?

 

Thanks for adding this to your ticketing system!

After I wrote that I kicked myself and was going to edit it. Obviously not thinking too clearly yet this morning.

We can't do anything with this. This really is a limitation of WordPress. We have to have a way of identifying an SP url from a WP post or page url. Without the 'page' part of the url, WP would never hand off to SP and would try and load a page or post.

🙂 no worries there about your reply.

So you reckon my best bet is still to either NOT use the forum as the home/front page or simply redirect the forum's page URL towards the blog front page to avoid the duplicate content, right?
