Hi,
I am seeking to change the home address, for instance when linked from forumdisplay, to the root of my domain rather than the added "index.php" at the end for SEO purposes.
I have tried but not find any way to do this and would appreciate any help.
Thanks!
You can access both anyway. Whats the different?
Besides, it wouldn't do anything for your SEO. Only really complex links will make your SEO worse.
I want consistency.
How does it make links complicated? Instead of the home page being accessed from two different links, only one is used.
x.com/index.php and x.com/ are essentially the same.
As I said, it doesn't make links complicated. Links like x.com/index.php?id=x&id2=y&id3=z are complicated.
So sometimes I link to x.com/index.php and sometimes x.com. I am spreading the link juice to two URLs when I can do it to one and achieve a higher Page Rank.
Please, I don't want to know why, but how to do it.

When you type in
www.x.com/ the page brought up is still
www.x.com/index.php. Your PageRank is
NOT affected because it is the same page. Google is smart like that.
No, it's not. I know this from previous experience with vBulletin SEO. Well let's say it's the same, but I think just having x.com as home looks better and is more consistent.
Please, is there any way to do it?
Thanks.
Go to your Admin CP -> Templates -> Modify / Delete -> Expand on your template -> header
Find:
<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/index.php"><img src="{$theme['logo']}" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a>
change to:
<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}"><img src="{$theme['logo']}" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a>
Thanks CraKteR, but the navigation under the header is still pointing to index.php.
Like this:

Go through all your templates and remove /index.php
