kinda stuck and confused

I would say that if your intent is for /forums to always be the homepage, add a few lines to your .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /forums/ [L,R=301]

should do the trick.

If you are on nGinx:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name www.example.com;

    location = / {
        return 301 /forums/;
    }
    
    location / {
        # Other configurations for your site
    }
}

Hope that gets you where you need to be.

thanks that worked 😊

actually it doesnt work. it will do the redirect but will not allow members to login now.

if i remove that line i can login as a member.

surely theres a way i can redirect the landing page (to https://www.example.com/forums) instead? it would be cleaner via default controller route!?!

nm i got it sorted - i removed the default index template, created a new one, allowed php and just did a header redirect within.
