I want my xenforo forum to be https: //mysite.com/homepage/ instead of https: //mysite.com , only for the homepage.

I know i can move the site to folder but this will not only change the homepage but also do change all url as example, mysite.com/folder/threads/, i dont want this. I only require this for the homepage.

Also mysite.com should parmanent redirect (301) to the mysite.com/homepage.

I have tried everything i can, including searching and browsing official xenforo forums. But found nothing that i can use. Hope someone here can help. Thank you in advance!

dwinchesterI guess doing that will have stability issues, furthermore, it will not be updated in the sitemap as a website's root/index the htaccess method. Ignoring the sitemap issue is it actually possible to just rename the index URL to something else, I mean. When I open with just the domain typed in the browser it always opens like htpps :// mysite.com/ no matter what I set in index page route. I just and specifically need to change the URL only but all I can find are people looking for a custom homepage page and people with friendly URL issues.
