    reverting back, removing vbseo rewrites

    Although I have no complaints, I want to revert back to not using vbseo. Is this easy to do, without turning all my indexing into dead links?? ? To rewrite back? How do I do this? But, I still want to use vbseo, because I love some of the other features. I just don't want to use their forum url rewrites anymore.

    Hello Chris,

    The rules you are going to place on your vBSEO custom redirects module/.htaccess depend on your URL rewrite settings. I saw that you are using preset #1.

    As there's no forum ID present on the URL, you'll need to create a single redirect for each of the subforums that exist on your site:

    I recommend Custom Redirects:

    '^main-forum/$' => 'forumdisplay.php?f=2'

    Where the 2 is the forum ID.

    If you do have multiple pages on a forum, an extra rule is required:

    '^main-forum/index(\d+)\.html$' => 'forumdisplay.php?f=2&page=$1'

    Where the $1 var stores the value of (\d+).

    For showthread pages, you can try these rules:

    '^.+/(\d+)-.+-(\d+)\.html$' => 'showthread.php?t=$1&page=$2'
    '^.+/(\d+)-.+\.html$' => 'showthread.php?t=$1'

    Hey thanks,

    I understand this now
    '^main-forum/$' => 'forumdisplay.php?f=2'

    Where the 2 is the forum ID.
    For the threads, if I just add this to my .htaccess:

    '^.+/(\d+)-.+-(\d+)\.html$' => 'showthread.php?t=$1&page=$2'
    '^.+/(\d+)-.+\.html$' => 'showthread.php?t=$1'

    Is this all I need to add and where do I put this (line)?

    Hi Andy,

    Next time, please open up a new thread. Try:

    RewriteRule ^t([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)/$ showthread.php?t=$1&page=$2 [L,R=301]
    RewriteRule ^t([0-9]+)/$ showthread.php?t=$1 [L,R=301]

    RewriteRule ^f([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)/$ forumdisplay.php?f=$1&page=$2 [L,R=301]
    RewriteRule ^f([0-9]+)/$ forumdisplay.php?f=$1 [L,R=301]
