Wordpress and vBulletin Settings

Hello,

I would like use WP as Portal (homepage) and vB as forum of my Community.

Can I install WP on the root of server and use the permalink:

www.mysite.it/name-post/

and install after, vB, in a subdomain and use this structure for url:

forum.mysite.it/NameCategory/NameThread-ID/

Is possible? Can I have issue or other problems with .htaccess or other settings?

Thank you

This should be fine. The forum htaccess will over-ride the word press.

About the only thing you can't do is install both wp and vb/vbseo in the same folder, and have both run permalinks.

Hello Brian,

yes, you have right. In fact, in this way, I will have WP in the root and vB in a subdomain...and I hope to avoid any problems.

Brian, Can I ask you which custom rules use to move a forum from old to a new domain where I have:

Old Domain (Url)

http://www.mysite.it/fID/Thread-Name-ID Post/

while on the new domain I would like use the settings:

forum.mysite.it/Name-Section/ThreadName-IDPost/

What code and custom rewrite rule should I use in the .htaccess to make correctly this transfer and not lose the indexed page?

Thank you

Are you keeping the old domain hosted? parking it on the new one?

Yes, I will keep the old domain hosted; and I will move all my community to new domain.

On the old domain, actually, I use the same url that you use here, on vbseo forums.

1) I need to use an .htaccess to redirect correcly all my community to new domain, where I will have the forum in a subdomain.

On the new domain, I want use these url:

forum.mysite.it/Name-Section/ThreadName-IDPost/ (Single Thread)

forum.mysite.it/Name-Section/ (Category Url)

2) During the transfer Brian, and the test to check that all is ok and...Is possible has a test license for vBSEO? So, I can install it on the new domain, and when all is ready, unistall it from the old domain.

Thanks Brian

Try these rules. Untested, may need tweaking:

Code:

RewriteRule [^/]+/[^/]+-([0-9]+)/ http://forums.domain.com/vbseo.php?vbseourl=showthread.php&t=$1 [L]
RewriteRule [^/]+/f([0-9]+)/(.*)/ http://forums.domain.com/vbseo.php?vbseourl=forumdisplay.php&f=$1 [L]

Please open a ticket to request the test license.

Thank you Brian,

I will try these rules.

Thanks again
