DisneyWorldTrivia.com - Whaddaya think?

I just installed vbSEO a few days ago and just wanted some opinions on anything else I need to do to tweak, improve, help monetize, etc.

Some background: The forums have been up for just over three years and is now one of the top 4 Disney forums in terms of number of members. The main site is about to be re-launched with a completely new look and back-end system as well.

Thanks for your help!

Hello ,

recent posts section on your homepage have non vbseo'd urls. That may cause dublicate content. Also within the same module you have tons of links pointing disneyworldtrivia.com/forums/showthread.php?t=undefined

In order to prevent duplicate domain names in your site you shall add the following code to your .htaccess . It will redirect any domain.com request to www.domain.com

Code:

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

Thank you very much for the help.

I added the line of code to the bottom of the .htaccess file. Will that alone resolve these issues or do I need to do anything further!!

FYI - just noticed that this change somehow disabled the recent posts function on the non-vBulletin home page. Anything I can do to get those back?

Thanks!

I take that back - adding that line actually caused an internal server error and made the forums inaccessible. Anything else I can try? Thanks!

Can you paste your content for .htaccess ?

Here you go:

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums)
#RewriteBase /

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|cron)
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(jpg|gif)$
RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

not an expert but try removing the # on both lines and where it says yourdomain substitute for your domain?

That's what I entered earlier per the post above, but it returned an internal server error.

Bumping this as I still have not been able to get this to work properly
