404 / 301 Tool After Import Redirect on ImpEx imported forums

[Andrés Durán Hewitt]

Hello,

My apologies, the above rules are all wrong. Please try instead:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} board,([0-9]+)\.0\.html
RewriteRule index\.php vbseo301.php?action=forum&oldid=%1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} topic,([0-9]+)\.0\.html
RewriteRule index\.php vbseo301.php?action=thread&oldid=%1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} topic,[0-9]+\.0\.msg([0-9]+)\.html
RewriteRule index\.php vbseo301.php?action=post&oldid=%1 [L]

This is what I ended up with, and it works beautifully.

Hi!
I've imported a vBulletin forum to a new vBulletin forum but I've some problems with urls.

The old forum is in "forum" folder. The new forum is in "forum" subdomain.

What .htaccess can I use?

[rnbjunkie]

The ID discussion number changed with the migration on forum.rnbjunk.com from Forum di Musica e Community di R&B Junk, now the results for google webmaster tools is an 404 error:
http://forum.rnbjunk.com/lady-gaga/7...ngolo-112.html

Lady GaGa - Judas (Secondo Singolo) - Pagina 112

Someone could help us with this issue?

hi i have imported from phpbb to vBulletin got vbseo and put redirectMatch 301 ^/forum_ar/ http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/
in the root htaccess your method seem alot better of course as i will not lose page rank with it hopefully . do i change the root .htaccess to the code given? and put the vbseo301.php in which folder? and can i do this after i already imported?

[aniMAL]

Is this still the preferred means of thread redirection?

If so, two questions...

For IPB 3.4, URL structure is as follows, can you provide rewrite rules for .htaccess?

http://www.domain.name/topic/######-this-is-the-title/
http://www.domain.name/forum/###-forum-name/

Secondly, I'm already 301'ing everything to new domain. As I understand it, I should only 301 to the root, 302 everything wildcarded, and let this perform the last 301?

[beansbaxter]

Desperately need assistance for what to include in my .htaccess to make the following redirects work.

Going from IPB 3.4 to vB 3.8 with vBSEO 3.6.1

Old IPB Forum URL: http://domain.com/forum/###-forum-name/
New VB Forum URL: http://domain.com/forum-name/

Old IPB Thread URL: http://domain.com/topic/###-thread-name/
New VB Forum URL: http://domain.com/forum-name/###-thread-name.html

I'm not sure if the Forum URL's can be forwarded, but I can always create manual redirects for those if that's the only way.

But desperately need a fix for the Thread URL's please?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Daniel,

These rules should do the trick for you:

RewriteRule ^forum/([0-9]+)-.+/$ vbseo301.php?action=forum&oldid=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^topic/([0-9]+)-.+/$ vbseo301.php?action=thread&oldid=$1 [L]
