Use full friendly URLs

[Andy]

Every forum should always enable the 'Use full friendly URLs' feature. This will remove the index.php part of the URL to your forum. It will also ensure Google can use the sitemap.xml file properly.

Admin control panel -> Setup -> Options -> Basic board information -> Use full friendly URLs

Note: Regarding the sitemap.xml issue, see this thread https://xenforo.com/community/threads/confused-by-sitemaps.197291/post-1531278

Make sure the file named htaccess.txt is renamed to .htaccess in the directory where XenForo files are located.
