I couldn't find an open issue for this problem already.

I was trying to update all my URL alias' for my Forums and Forum Topics after creations. Forum Topics is really easy with Pathauto giving an option to update URL alias option under admin/content under the Update Options. However, trying to update URL alias of my Forums seems to be a lot more difficult. Finally after looking all over, I managed to find a way to update the forums path alias.

Right now the only way to update URL Alias of an exsisting Forum/Forum container, after changing the Forum Paths with the tokens is this:

  • Go to admin/config/search/path then do a search for your base (I believe by default AF calls its forum/ ).
  • delete the alias' of your containers and forums (this will be important, since Bulk Update only works on un-aliased paths)
  • click Bulk Update
  • select forum paths
  • update

Now the aliases are correct, however this is very time consuming.

I want to suggest adding an option to the admin/structure/forum/settings page that allows you to Update URL Alias of Forums.

Is their another ticket already open about this?

Not that I'm aware of.

I don't think this actually has anything to do with AF but I'm a little fuzzy on the menu override so it's possible it might due to AF hooking into core forum's menu item. I couldn't tell you without digging into the code.
