how can i block vbseo from affecting a directory?

hello,

i have vbadvanced dynamics installed on my site, as well vbseo. i have the forum installed in the root directory, and dynamics installed in the /journals directory. i would like to use vbadvanced dynamics' SEO configurations as opposed to vbseo's for the dynamics part of the site.

when i enable the SEO settings in dynamics, though, the URLs don't work; everything simply redirects to the home page. i believe this is because there is a conflict between vbseo and vbadvanced dynamics. do you know how i can disable vbseo from affecting the /journals directory where i have vbadvanced dynamics installed?

thanks.

Hello,

please try to add "journals/" to the "Exclude Pages" option in vBSEO CP.

hello,

i tried that, but unfortunately the problem persists; the links still get redirected to the home page. any ideas?

Try to create .htaccess file in journals/ folder:

Code:

RewriteEngine off

unfortunately this doesn't seem to be working either; when i put this in, any page in the journals directory gets redirected to the home page.

thoughts?

Please open a support ticket with ftp/admincp access for troubleshooting.

Dear Oleg, should I open a support ticket as well, or should all of us - Dynamics users wait for your detailed solution on this forums?

I can go ahead and post your solution later in the vBadvance and vB forums.

Thanks.

Yes, please.

Update: I've added dynamics folder into exclusion list in .htaccess:
replaced this:

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|cron)

with:

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|cron|dyna-library)

Thanks a lot Oleg for your support.

I'll post your solution on the vBadvance forum as well.
