    Next . Replace post number link with Permalink (Option in vBSEOCP)
    if you do that, remember to disable showpost in sitemap because google gives ur sitemap warnings for having 301 redirects in it.

    Are you using vB version 3.8 ?
    If you using 3.8.x
    you just delete this part only

    PHP Code:
    <else />
    <
    meta name="keywords" content="$vboptions[keywords]/>
    <
    meta name="description" content="$vboptions[description]/>
