    Phpbb to vbulletin - Google 404 issue

    I have problems with google backlinks all did not work after converting phpbb2 to vbulletin 3.8.4 (with vbseo), I thought everything was working flawlessly until I entered the "Tools for websites" in google,

    3500 (!) pages could not be found , and only 2 is indexed. I am afraid of loosing ranks day by day, please help me with this issue =(

    This is the htaccess file:

    # Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
    # to disable mod_rewrite functions.
    # Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
    # the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
    RewriteEngine On

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

    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} f=([0-9]+)
    RewriteRule viewforum\.php vbseo301.php?action=forum&oldid=%1 [L]

    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} t=([0-9]+)
    RewriteRule viewtopic\.php vbseo301.php?action=thread&oldid=%1 [L]

    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} u=([0-9]+)
    RewriteRule profile\.php vbseo301.php?action=user&oldid=%1 [L]

    # Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
    # enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
    # Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
    # to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
    #RewriteBase /

    #RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
    #RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

    RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

    http://www.wiiforumet.se/ha-rdvara-och-tillbeha-r/ Is this url for Categories ?

    Please remove the following from your .htaccess
    Code:
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} f=([0-9]+)
    RewriteRule viewforum\.php vbseo301.php?action=forum&oldid=%1 [L]
    
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} t=([0-9]+)
    RewriteRule viewtopic\.php vbseo301.php?action=thread&oldid=%1 [L]
    
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=([0-9]+)
    RewriteRule viewtopic\.php vbseo301.php?action=post&oldid=%1 [L]
    
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} u=([0-9]+)
    RewriteRule profile\.php vbseo301.php?action=user&oldid=%1 [L]
    Your php member urls don't contain member id thats why it is impossible to correctly redirect them to new member format with this tool. However you can customize your member url rewrite rules to match your phpbb url rewrites.

    I was having issues with ċäö at first since it added a a- instead of ä for example, perhaps this is issued by this some way?

    Please remove the following from your .htaccess
    Code:
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} f=([0-9]+)
    RewriteRule viewforum\.php vbseo301.php?action=forum&oldid=%1 [L]

    RewriteRule viewtopic\.php vbseo301.php?action=thread&oldid=%1 [L]
    
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=([0-9]+)
    RewriteRule viewtopic\.php vbseo301.php?action=post&oldid=%1 [L]
    
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} u=([0-9]+)
    RewriteRule profile\.php vbseo301.php?action=user&oldid=%1 [L]
    Your php member urls don't contain member id thats why it is impossible to correctly redirect them to new member format with this tool. However you can customize your member url rewrite rules to match your phpbb url rewrites.
    Ok, I have removed the Rewrites as told above.

    As vBulletin don't have separate Categories , it is impossible to redirect them correctly .
