How to Change URL Displayed in Address Bar

    Hi there,

    So, I just started a community site using Dolphin and I have installed the files in my shared host account and now if you type the url for my site i.e. www.myaddonsitename.com (which is a addon site in my host account) the site shows up and the url is www.myaddonsitename.com (just like I want it); HOWEVER, if you click on the main logo of the site to be redirected to the main page or in any other link such as FAQ or About Us, then the following url shows up mymainsiteinhostaccount.com/myaddonsitename/about_us.php

    Is there any way to change this, so when people go to my addon site and click on any of the links or main page logo they are directed to www.myaddonsite.com/about_us.php instead?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Sounds like a configuration issue. If you setup your forum and where prompted for a URL, what did you enter?

    Are you sure this isn't a type of domain redirection either? Maybe you forwarded the domain and are masking it?

    Sounds like it's misconfigured. Tech support should be able to fix it.
