Redirecting to vB deftault pages after disabling vbSeo.

Currently I have vBSEO installed in my vB system but I'm thinking of disabling it. So the problem will be my links in other websites linking to the vBSEO'd links in my sites. These links will no longer work. So I was wondering if there is a way to keep these links alive so these links will automatically redirect to the default vB links such as
/forum/showthread.php?t=293773

Thank you.

If you used IDs (forumIDs, etc.) in your URL formats, I guess the vBSEO staff can provide you with the .htaccess rules required to redirect the traffic back to your stock vBulletin URLs.

But: Why are you removing/disabling it ?

My vBSEO links are like this.
.com/forums/category/7980-blah-blah-blah.html

Will this be a problem?

Reason I'm removing vbSEO is that I just want to go back to the default vBulletin. I would like to believe that vBSEO helped a lot but it's time for me to move on.

After turning off vBSEO all my vBSEO links become dead and display "Page not found". Is there any way to redirect to the correct page or simply redirect to the homepage?

Any advices are appreciated.

You can create .htaccess file with:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule [^/]+/([0-9]+)-[^/]+\.html http://www.domain.com/forums/showthread.php?t=$1 [L,R=301]
