Bahahah - nice catch. the API key was wrong (most keys are just letters / numbers so thats what I copied). I missed a simple key- that preceded the key. once I added that we're all good.

thank you!

upgrade to 1.6.x is fine. still same error when trying to go to 1.7.x

interestingly enough I pulled the 1.5.x branch and the upgrade ran fine. maybe ill go to 1.6 first

I'm going from 1.5.3 to 1.7.3.

my git is where it needs to be and a git pull shows me all is up to date. when i run nodebb upgrade i see

sudo ./nodebb upgrade
/opt/nodebb/src/cli/index.js:60
        .description('Welcome to NodeBB')
         ^

or sudo systemctl status mongod

they want it in the head / body fields.

footer.tpl doesn't have those. i'm going to try header.tpl

@julian yeah I was thinking that. I'll give it a go and see what happens.

For those of you who are doing SEO.

Where are am I putting the tag manager code? In the .tpl files (it wants it on "every" page). Maybe header.tpl or footer.tpl?

Thanks for any thoughts here!

@PitaJ said in Simplifying the URL:

@etakmit unfortunately, multiple posts can have the same title, so some kind of unique ID has to be included in the url. It could be the pid of the post, either prepended or appended to the URL, or something else.

Fair point!

What I'm ultimately looking for is that URLs to posts are simply

http://domain/post-title

Sadly I dont think either of your options quite fit although they're pretty close! Thank you!

The URL for topics currently looks like
https://forum.com/topic/15/url-rewrites

We'd like to see

https://forum.com/url-rewrites

I haven't found a toggle in the admin side, nor did I see a plugin to accomplish this. Is this something that can be done simply? I kicked around the forum here and all of my searches generally ran into old config.json references which didn't seem to apply.
