Create a Custom vBulletin "404 Page Not Found" Page, and direct vBSEO to use it.

For each template you should put this at the top:

HTML Code:

  <if condition="$_REQUEST['do'] != '404'">

and this at the very bottom:

HTML Code:

</if>

Oleg, i understand but this code doesn't run!

the misc code runs on the 404 page but leaves my google ads ID into the other pages ... (like i've already told and showed with the pic attached)

Sorry, I do not understand exactly what you mean.

What's the use of that 'ca-pub' thing below the conditional ?

i mean this:

i tried to use this code

PHP Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'misc'">
ca-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxx
</if> 


and it runs correctly into the 404.php page ... BUT in the other pages (like forumhome, forumdisplay, showthread etc.) i've got my google's id number in the pages under the banner like you can see in the attachment that i've posted before ...

You should NOT put your ID there, just this single line at the very top of template:

HTML Code:

  <if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'misc'">

and this one at the bottom:

HTML Code:

</if>

Thanks Cohen! I did It

thanks Oleg,m now runs perfectly

just the last question: can i cache the template?

Since templates list is redefined in misc.php, you will have to create a new plugin in vB admincp on "cache_templates" hook with this code:

PHP Code:

if($_REQUEST['template'] == '404')
$globaltemplates[] = 'custom_404';

done thanks

You are welcome

Is there a way to get this to work on pages other than those inside the /forum directory?

I cant get mine to work properly. Its giving this error and showing the path twice.

that's seems you didn't add your username
you need to change /username/ with your hosting username
