Change URL by getting last part of URL and combined a few variables to get final URL

var catName = $('.forum-category > a'), 
    catUrl = $(location).attr('href'),
    urlParts = catUrl.split("/"),
    endUrl = urlParts[urlParts.length-2],
    forumPage = '/property-forum/',
    resultUrl = forumPage + endUrl;
    // alert(endUrl);

$(catName).attr('href', resultUrl);

Get last-child of breadcrumb and use .trim to manipulate URL

var areaname = $('h1.page-header').text(),
    lookforstate = $('ol.breadcrumb li:last-child').text(),
    trimstate = lookforstate.split(","),
    resultstate  = trimstate [trimstate.length-1],
    getstate = $.trim(resultstate),
    w = "/map-search-property?&state=",
    x = "&district="; 
    result = w + getstate + x + areaname;

$('a#search-listing-area').attr('href', result);
