    I use it to replace the post number, since I block individual showpost.php pages from being indexed.

    I tried making my setting in my vBSEO admin panel to "Replace post number link with permalink" and it still links to the showpost.php link. Isn't it supposed to do what it does here at vBSEO?

    I fixed the above issue by re-writing the showpost url.
