I would like to change the URL extension of the website.. I mean I'm using forum (and blog) not with the name of forum. I mean would like to change this: mywebsite.com/forum to mywebsite.com/anythingelse. Is it possible? What I want is when I give the website URL I dont want to see tibriz.com/blog, instead I want to see the label of the blog plugin. I can change the title of blog, but why I cant change the URL? I hope this is an understandable question :)

Tibriz, if you would like to change the existing URL somehow, you may use some of existing SEO plugins. You can try searching one in our Store for example this one: http://www.oxwall.org/store/item/125 .

Turkish aid : myql içeriğinde veri tabanını bulup içeriğin yönünü değiştirebilirsin. Taissa 'nın verdiği eklenti iç yönleri değiştirebiliyor. Sen veri tabanı kaynak yolunu değiştirmen gerekli. PHP My Admin de yüklü databesi bul gerekli değişiklikleri yapabilirsin.
English Aid : MySQL database data changes need to be made.

This may be enough to change the content Databese.

If you want just to change the name of the links in the menu bar, you need to go the Pages and Menus section in the admin panel -> hover over, let's say, blogs menu item-> click edit and then change it to mlog, the url will be www.sitename.com/blogs but the menu item will be mlog
If you want the url to be www.sitename/blogs, you follow Taisa's recommendation and obtain SEO plugins or you will need to change the routes in the plugin's init.php file. Everywhere where you find the word "forum" you need to change to whatever you want
for example:
OW::getRouter()->addRoute(new OW_Route('forum-default', 'forum', 'FORUM_CTRL_Index', 'index'));
change to
OW::getRouter()->addRoute(new OW_Route('forum-default', 'YOURWORD', 'FORUM_CTRL_Index', 'index'));

Ross, a follow-up question: with the second method, would you need to set up URL redirects for old links that use the old URLs?
