Redundant slugs

    Hi everyone,
    I installed BuddyPress recently, and I created the dummy “Forums” page so it has a place to live, and a few forums. While browsing around my forums, I noticed the URL has an extra “forum” in there. Where I expected my URLs to be example.com/forums/general or example.com/forums/movies, I get example.com/forums/forum/general and example.com/forums/forum/movies. How do I remove the redundancy?

    you could edit the /forum to “topic” or “discussion” in the settings no? same for /forums can be something different as a page name.

    or might this be it? https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-remove-forum-from-url/

    Thanks for the reply, Nahum. The link you suggested is *kinda* close, but it removes the wrong part and results in a strange plural/non-plural progression of URLs.
    Disabling the prefix, I get the following results:
    Forum root URL: example.com/forums
    Single forum URL: example.com/forum/movies

    What I want is:
    Forum root URL: example.com/forums
    Single forum URL: example.com/forums/movies
    What it is currently: example.com/forums/forum/movies

    And after doing some searching, I think this is probably NOT an issue with BuddyPress but an issue with bbPress. See this topic from SEVEN years ago https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-remove-forum-from-url/
    Still reading through it, but I’m guessing that I will need to fix this with some rewrite rules, because the author doesn’t see a problem with the redundant stuff in the URL.
