    Bug in URL rewrites for member album links

    If member album links are set for URL rewrites, clicking on the title of an album takes you to your own album page instead of the user's album.

    Turning off URL rewrites for albums resolves this problem.

    vBSEO 3.5.0 RC2

    I don't think I've specified anything other than the default URL rewrite settings. I upgraded from the previous version of vBSEO though.

    In the control panel it indicates "Custom Settings" and the Preset box is blank.

    However, when I click on the Custom Rewrite Rules menu option, only the examples are there. No custom rewrites are defined. I thought the "Custom Settings" part was because I have disabled rewrites for certain types of links, e.g., member profiles, avatars, profile pics, and, now, albums.

    Did you have Custom Rewrite Rules defined previous to upgrading?

    Disabling rewrites shouldn't trigger a "Custom Settings" indicator. Would you mind opening a support ticket with your vbseocp pw? OR upload your vbseo_urls.xml file to this thread so we can check it out?

    I had this problem, too.

    Disabled Album and Attachment Rewriting and now all works without any issue.

    Before upgrading I had had Custom URL Rewrite Settings...
    what can I do, to enable them again?

    Or another question which Basic URL rewriting "Select Your Forum URLs Global Format" is best for seo?

    Same problem here. I've tried a couple of default formats for picture rewrites but they don't work.
    Example of a gallery. All other pictures have the same link...

    The "custom" text being selected on presets after upgrading is an identified bug.

    Make sure you have the picture_id variable in your url selection.
