how do i fix these ones

Were you able to fix this? I am seeing the same problem even after all the changes.

If i want to change also the URL rewrite settings i have to add something in the .htaccess file for all linkbacks that already i have?

Yes, rewrite rules would depend on exact URL formats used.

Ok Oleg i have open a support ticket for it.

If you have used "vbseo.com" URL formats preset earlier, you can add this in .htaccess right after "RewriteEngine on" line:

Code:

RewriteRule ^f([0-9]+)/(index([0-9]+)\.html)?$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=forumdisplay.php&f=$1&page=$3&vbseorelpath= [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^f[0-9]+/[^/]+?([0-9]+)/(index([0-9]+)\.html)?$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=showthread.php&t=$1&page=$3&vbseorelpath= [L,QSA]

yes i have used "vbseo.com" URL formats but i have switched the f[forum_id]/ with [forum_title]/ and i have also removed the final .html extension for all Forum URLs.

I have the same problem with duplicate title tags and metas...

The URL structure of my forum is http://www.site.com/forum/t12345/#post67890

The duplicated pages are http://www.site.com/forum/t23456-post78901 with http://www.site.com/forum/t23456/

How can I fix the duplication issue in the above URL structure?

I have post number link Replaced with Permalink and showpost.php disallowed in robots.txt

You should modify showpost template as described above in this thread: "Duplicate title tags" problem

I tried earlier and I got the same duplicate URL when I clicked to link in webmaster tools page. What exactly will do that modification? Redirect duplicate post links to the thread or just tell Google to drop duplicated pages from it's index?

Pages with duplicate title tags are forumdisplay pages. What can be done in this case please?

That should not be the case even with default vBulletin Style. What do you have in "FORUMDISPLAY" template for <title> tag?

I have RR. This is my title tag

HTML Code:

<title><!--VBSEO_RR_2_NOHTML--></title>

You should change it to:

HTML Code:

<title><!--VBSEO_RR_2_NOHTML--><if condition="$pagenumber>1"> - <phrase 1="$pagenumber">$vbphrase[page_x]</phrase></if></title>

Done... Page number added.

Thanks
