Full Version: Question on changing home page
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hello all,

This is my website here: http://sonsofsabotage.com/

Here is my home page: http://sonsofsabotage.com/portal.php

How can I make my home page just this: http://sonsofsabotage.com/, no portal?

Can I also make my forum page say /forums?

Last question, at the top of tab it just says forums: http://prntscr.com/byfi54

Can i change that to say "Sons Of Sabotage?"

Thanks, Michael
Hi, 
You can Set the Software:

1. Home » Board Settings » Site Details


2. Home » Board Settings » Portal Settings

thank you, but i am still confused, my home page url is: http://sonsofsabotage.com/portal.php

and my forum url is: http://sonsofsabotage.com/

I want to swap them, to where sonsofsabotage.com leads to our home page, is this possible?
^ in general we use rewrite rules (through .htaccess file for apache server)
DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php index.html index.htm
Yes, I think that you must set the Portal Settings

Enable Portal
If you wish to disable the portal on your board, set this option to no.

If I disable portal it breaks my site, i just want my domain name to point o my main home page and not my forum page.
^ see replies here
If i may ask, why do want the portal page to be your homepage? because the sideboxes are there? You can consider installing a plugin to put those exact boxes on your homepage and then just disable portal.
