After uninstallation you can also redirect your indexed content to original vBulletin urls. Please carefully check the rewrite rules and use the one that fits your current url structure. If your url structure isn't listed below please post a sample example so we can supply the correct rules.

If you have your thread rewrite rules set as forum-name/threadid-threadname.html use the following .htaccess
Code:
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule [^/]+/([0-9]+)-[^/]+\.html http://www.domain.com/forums/showthread.php?t=$1 [L,R=301]
If you have your thread rewrite rules set as forum-name/threadname-threadid.html use the following .htaccess
Code:
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule [^/]+/[^/]+-([0-9]+)\.html http://www.domain.com/forums/showthread.php?t=$1 [L,R=301]
If you have your thread rewrite rules set as forum-name/threadname-threadid/ use the following .htaccess
Code:
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule [^/]+/[^/]+-([0-9]+)/ http://www.domain.com/forums/showthread.php?t=$1 [L,R=301]

    I have un installed vbseo now and got vb4 up and running i used this rule forum-name/threadid-threadname.html and all of my forum threads are OK but i still have lots more broken (links as below) this is where i found my ticket support has ended so i hope some one can help.
    Ive been told i need to set up redirects for each broken link now Ive asked for 1 example this was the link
    How should i redirect this so i don't loose lots of hits from google? Ive put a 404 redirect in place but thats not really great when they want this page?

    How long should i leave the redirects in place?
    Should i just leave it as it is and let google re index these pages?

    I would appreciate any help thanks.

    The .htaccess instructions work great for threads in the forum. What line can I add so the old /blogs/ URL links work, the ones that were from the Blog?

    Hello beansbaxter,

    Please open a new thread or a support ticket with relevant details. Blogs aren't monitored for support queries.

    Once you have done that, please PM me to assist you further.

    Best regards.

    I'm trying to understand the rules I need to set. Don't I need to set multiple redirect rules?

    Here are the rules I have within vBSEO:

    1. Forum URL's: f[forum_id]/

    (General discussions)

    2. Forum Pagination: f[forum_id]/index[forum_page].html

    (General discussions - Page 2)

    3. Thread: f[forum_id]/[thread_title]-[thread_id]/

    (Congratulations to me. I Have (Insert Number Here) Posts/Thanks)

    4. Thread pagination: f[forum_id]/[thread_title]-[thread_id]/index[thread_page].html

    (Congratulations to me. I Have (Insert Number Here) Posts/Thanks - Page 2)

    5. Go to post in page: f[forum_id]/[thread_title]-[thread_id]-post[post_id]/

    (Congratulations to me. I Have (Insert Number Here) Posts/Thanks)

    6. Go to post pagination redirect: f[forum_id]/[thread_title]-[thread_id]-[thread_page]-post[post_id]/

    7: Poll: f[forum_id]/poll-[poll_id]-[poll_title].html

    8. Custom avatar: [user_name]-[user_id].gif

    9. Attachments: f[forum_id]/[attachment_id]-[thread_title]-[original_filename].att


    I'm sorry to be a bother but do I need rewrite lines for all of these?

    genial vuestro soporte..... ańo y medio sin actualizaciones, no contestáis a las dudas sobre las licencias, no contestáis a las preguntas sobre cómo desinstalar correctamente vbseo (creyendo que nos váis a tener así "atrapados").

    Ahí os quedáis.

    Which .htaccess do I place the rewrite rules in?

    Sorry I'm a n00b with this...

    ?? Delete all of the data from the vbseo .htaccess file and replace with the rule that matches my url structure? I just don't know which one to put it in?
