You would just need to open a support ticket so that we can update your license. Then you'll be all set.

You will add the following in vBSEO's .htaccess in domain root right after "RewriteEngine on" line:

RewriteRule ^vb/(.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

[ssmarket.net]

which .htaccess
the one under
http://www.domain.com/vb/.htaccess
or
http://www.domain.com/.htaccess

thanks

you must put this under http://www.domain.com/.htaccess

And the ^vBulletin/ should be your old directory name. The letters V B here are converted to vBulletin in posts.

do you mean i should change the vBulletin/
to
v b/ (with no space)
as my old forum root
http://www.domain.com/v b

so the code will be like that

RewriteRule ^v b/(.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301] 

+ converting the domain.com to my site domain

am i right?

Thanks

v b

Yes, that is correct (this is acronym expansion function that converts it to "vBulletin" here).
