Could you please make sure there's no other .htaccess file in a directory other than your /forums/ folder?

If you have modified your .htaccess file, please pm it to me.

Juan

edit: there's a re-release version available via your usercp

Yes, it did.

Why are we worried about other folders' htaccess file? vBSEO should only be affecting /forums/, right? Or is it affecting my entire site?

Exactly... there's no way it can affect directories outside /forums/, unless you have an .htaccess file on root.

Please note that some ftp clients won't show .htaccess files unless they are set up to show hidden files.

Ah.

I do have one at root, to redirect all NON www.nzboards.com requests to www.nzboards.com. This is because I have multiple parked domains pointing at the account.

Code:

 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}  !^www\.nzboards\.com$       [NC]
 RewriteRule ^(.*)         http://www.nzboards.com/$1  [L,R=301]

Is that a bad thing? Is it even correct?

Your rewrite rules are fine. They shouldn't have any conflict with vbseo or be related to the /testvb/ issue - - I visited your test instance but got a protected dir login... I guess you sorted it out?

Hi Juan,

Thanks for the feedback about the rules.

Yeah, I guess the latest release sorted it out.

Great! - I'm happy to hear that
