    How to get rid of “home” in the url? (Mydomain.com/home/)

    How to get rid of “home” in the url? (Mydomain.com/home/)

    Architecture: (All [WebRoot] types are redirected to the first [Home] type.) v7.6.3

    enter image description here

    enter image description here

    Web.config settings:

      <add key="umbracoHideTopLevelNodeFromPath" value="true" />
      <add key="umbracoUseDirectoryUrls" value="true" />
    

    I’ve added Url Rewrite to server and can take out trailing slashes. I tried taking out “home” from the url but I get a redirect loop because of the umbracoHideTopLevelNodeFromPath setting and redirect. I am route Hijacking. The WebRoot Controller is not called with the above config. I am using Models.Builder in VS. Here is the Index Action of the Home Controller:

    public override ActionResult Index(RenderModel umbracoModel)
    {
        var model = new Home(umbracoModel.Content);
        return CurrentTemplate(model); 
    }
    

    What do I do?

    Note – I need the flexibility to scale BR, CA, etc. into multiple languages in the future…

    Hi Brett,

    Okay, so there are a couple of things you can do, but first, you said that you've added a URL rewrite to remove the trailing slashes. There is a setting in UmbracoSettings.config that determines if the trailing / should be added which can be found here.

    With regards to getting rid of the home URL, if you add a content picker property to your WebRoot node for each language, and make sure it has the alias: umbracoInternalRedirectId it will perform an internal redirect so the URL without home will load the home node. More info

    Hopefully that helps ?
