[Kaz Wolfe]

I want to move my forum running at root domain to sub folder like this

mydomain.com to mydomain.com/forum or mydomain.com/forums

but i don't know which one is better name, forum or forums? which one is suitable to you and correct?

the main URL like www.abc.com is always best, we do not recommend you to use www.abc.com/forums URL

Hi Kaz,

Your root domain is mydomain.com so use mydomain.com/forum instead of mydomain.com/forums.
The reason is simple: You are opening a forum in your root domain, means single forum, not multiple forum.

You can understand with another example like:
If you have a single web hosting offer, you will save Best Web Hosting Deal.
But in the same way for multiple offers, you will say Web Hosting Deals.

Conclusion: Go with mydomain.com/forum, if you are writing a blog or anything else on you root domain.

but in mydomain.com/forum I will create more forums on its board.
I tried to research some big forums on the net, but I am still confusing because some are using forums while some only using forum.

I would recommend using /forums because a community forum is generally made up of different forums so it would make sense going with forums.

I would have gone with /forum but it's always up to your personal preference. The move is as simple as moving all your files to a folder called forum or forums. Then make sure to change the permalinks settings for your forum to ensure everything is alright
