Redirecting to index.php

I've noticed that my sites PR is different for the follow:
/
/index.php
/index.php?

My "/" is a PR3 while the index.php is a PR1. I've already defined this in the vBSEO CP but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick.

But my question is...for any of the redirects, like when you click MARK AS READ, it takes the users back to /index.php. How can I change it so it redirects to "/"?

vBSEO has this built in, and should be enabled by default.

Look in your vBSEO Control Panel for Define Homepage Aliases and make sure it contains:
index.php
index.php?

Right above that, make sure Force Forum Root as Homepage? is "Yes".

Maybe I'm doing something wrong then. This is what I've got:


and in vbACP:


Did I input something incorrectly?

It should only be:

index.php
index.php?

As noted in the examples. Not the full URL.

OIC...I didn't see that example...I saw this example and I went by it:

www.yoursite.com/forums/ (PR = A)
www.yoursite.com/forums/index.php (PR = B)
www.yoursite.com/forums/index.php? (PR = C)

Thanks Keith! And is there anyway to make it redirect to my "/forums/" instead of "/forums/index.php"? Just wondering since my /forums/ is a PR3 and my /forums/index.php is a PR1.

Look a little lower than that section. Those are just giving an example of how your PR can be split. Near the bottom it shows examples of entries into that field.


If you use:
index.php
index.php?

It should redirect to /forums/

Example:

http://www.fireblades.org/forums/
http://www.fireblades.org/forums/index.php
http://www.fireblades.org/forums/index.php?

lol I just noticed that and was coming to edit my post. You're too quick for me! lol

Thanks a bunch Keith! I greatly appreciate the patience.

hmm I have this on but they don't seem to be working any ideas why?


just double checked its working no my forum which is in a subfolder

how do i go about getting this working on my main domain index as well?

okay I have a question regarding this

I have index.php and index.php? in this vbseo settings.

that was for forum.vbulletinsetup.com/index...

now I have this url too
vBulletin Setup Forums.... how can I redirect those to the root vBulletin Setup Forums

and how do I redirect all old urls like vBulletin Setup Forums to the root ?

thanks

my mate helped me out with my issue, putting this at the top of index.php in the root sorted it out:

Code:

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/index.php') 
{
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header("Location: http://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}/");
exit;
}

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/index.php?') 
{
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header("Location: http://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}/");
exit;
}

maybe that will help you with your redirects loco

Worked great Grumbledook

Thank you
