SEO

Hi,

the album pictures do not appear since I have upgraded to 3.7.3

Can anybody help me?

Please elaborate, is the picture ending with an "-a" in the url?

no. Actually, I dont get a thumbnail for each of my albums (there where all of my own albums are listed). However, when I click on my own profile thumbnails appear there.

Please make a backup of your vBSEO rules before going any further

Do the following in order,

1: Admin Control Panel
2: vBSEO Control Panel
3: Find Select Your Forum URLs Global Format (Use CTRL+F)
4: Advanced Settings (+ / -) - HIT +
5: In the advanced settings, find Albums List & Albums
*6: Select a new rewrite rule, with an ID. I am using a custom rewrite rule for both, here they are:

Albums List

members/[user_name]-[user_id]-albums.html

Albums

members/[user_name]-[user_id]-albums-[album_title].html

7:Hit Save, and try now.


*: Please note that doing this step will break down your old album URLs, therefore making the album links that you have now not work anymore.


P.S. I may be completely wrong, this is why I urge you to make a backup; however, I had the same issue and fixed it by adding the user_id to the URL.

No, didnt work. If I go to the list with all my albums there are still no thumbnails

Can you give your forums url, and an example URL, please?

Have sent you a private message with the URL

The images seem to work fine on your forum for me: http://yourdomain/members/59-albums116.html

Hi Oleg,

have sent you a private message with the URL

For some reason, your album image urls redirect to your main domain: FinlandLive.Info - Information and Travel Community for Finland.

I'll try to research on it and see what causes it.

Thanks MadK, very kind. I dont really know what causes the problem

We have to determinate whether it is vBSEO or your installation of vBulletin 3.7.3 that is causing this bug.

Could you please disable vBSEO for a few seconds, and tell us if it works? If it does, please enable vBSEO back but disable the URL rewritting rules for a few seconds, and tell us if it works.

yes I tried it before by switching vbseo off and it worked

Can you please keep vBSEO enabled, but disable the Member's Profile URLs rewrite rules and tell us if it works?

yes, by switching just the Member's Profile URLs rewrite rules off it works
