Solved Changing URL of HTML Forum Pages

Post by Sienna Thu Jun 30, 2016 11:30 pm

Forum Version: PhpBB3

Hello! I was wondering if someone could tell me how I could change the URL of a HTML page that I created.

Right now it's: http://www.ardentartforum.com/h5-staff

and I'd like to switch it to: http://www.ardentartforum.com/staff

Thank you for any help!

Sorry there is no way to change The URl the h5-staff is the link where your page is saved it tells our system what part of the code needs to be read to show up on the forum.

While not possible server-side, it is possible to manipulate the history object via JavaScript so that the pathname of the page will display differently. You would need to add this snippet to your HTML page:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">history.pushState({}, '', 'staff');</script>

Note however that this is merely aesthetic, so you will still need to use the original URL if you want to link to the page. I don't recommend it because of that, but if you really want to rename the URL client-side then that's how you can go about it.

Thank you very much for this! And for your response Ape!

Sad to hear you can't actually change it, but that's no biggy at all. Smile

Solved!
