thats how it was when I installed also the file is named different so that it doesnt work

It seems like it shouldn't be related, did you try to disable vBSEO temporarily to check if it works correctly?

so so so sorry I just turned it off and find its still broke, but the funny thing is it was working before I installed it.

sorry about that I will have to try and find the bug

what a big sad nooooooooob I feel

No problem. Looks like you should check your blogs/sites/default/settings.php file near line 229 to find the issue.

yer I am lol should have done that before I asked *hitting self in the head* lol

I sorted that problem out, it was a little line in the setting file, it needed commenting out because something chenged

Couldnt help me with a little something, like trying to see what I need to add in the vbseo section for custom urls in the blog part of my site, just to remove the

?q=

from the urls

You can try this CRR:

Code:

'blogs/\?q=(.+)$' => 'blogs/$1.html'

Thanks, i tried it but it didnt like it

I used the .htaccess file, as its in a seprate folder so it will not harm the forum, this has worked nice and nearlly all my site has SEO urls, just a couple more to wrk on

Thanks for all your time used on me, sorry about the mistake at the start
