Hello,

vBSEO has to be installed in the root/forums folder.

The Custom Rewrite Rules thread for the vBPortal is located here.

Since vBSEO 2.3.0 is released you are able to rewrite the URL's within the /root folder.

In the Announcement you can find how to implent (see quote) the CRRs in Root feature.

(7) UPDATE: CRRs in Root (Beta2) update - Several refinements have been made to the 'CRR in Root' beta feature. Also, a problem with redirection of old URLs from the root level has been corrected.

Note: This requires an additional step in the installation process. The following updated .htaccess directives must be added in the *root folder* (not vBulletin folder):

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !forum/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ forum/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&vbseorelpath=../&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !forum/
RewriteRule ^(.*.php)$ forum/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&vbseorelpath=../&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Note: In the above "forum" must be changed to the actual name of the folder in which your vBulletin installation resides.

/* Remember: The original .htaccess still resides in the vBulletin *forum root folder*. */

Yea, I did that as well. the footer of the forums says the vbseo is unregistered...is that a problem?

ah, it seems to be working..just the url's don't look right

Make sure that you have your license key displayed in green color in vbseocp.
