With the current URL myshopurl.com/a/community, we plan to create a subdomain community.myshopurl.com to redirect to myshopurl.com/a/community. Right now the post URL is https://myshopurl.com/a/community/forums/2994-test, is there any way to retain the original URL in the post URL like https://community.myshopurl.com/forums/2994-test?

Thanks in advance.

@chrisc, no that will not work. Shopify controls the directory path to which the app is served. As a result, it must be under one of the specified subdirectories. Again, this is due to Shopify-imposed constraints, and so the app was designed to work within their framework.

How to format posts

Champ uses Markdown for formatting text in posts. Certain markup tags (eg. H1) are forbidden to ensure that pages remain semantically compliant. Other tags are automatically sanitized to ensure all content is secure.

Emphasis, aka italics, with *asterisks* or _underscores_.
Strong emphasis, aka bold, with **asterisks** or __underscores__.
Combined emphasis with **asterisks and _underscores_**.
Strikethrough uses two tildes. ~~Scratch this.~~
Links are added automatically, but can be formatted like so: [My link](https://mylink.com)

For more information, take a look at the Markdown Cheatsheet.
