Problems after upgrading to 3.8.0.

I notice this very site has the same problem (try clicking on things like "View all Groups), so I guess I'm not alone!

The new groups features in the latest vBulletin (3.8.0) are broken under VBSEO. Basically, the entire groups area stops working after upgrade.

This can be fixed by excluding group.php from the rewrite in the VBSEO control panel. This forces it to use group.php instead of /forum/groups/ (or whatever your path is).

However! There is still a problem I can't figure out. I have a header menu (in the HEADER template) where I link to various areas of the site. On any page except group.php (not that I've excluded that page), the URL is still being rewritten to /forum/groups/. The groups section only works if you visit it via /forum/group.php.

So, is there a way to exclude VBSEO from rewriting that URL when it appears on pages other than group.php?

Please try to modify functions_vbseo.php file:
FIND:

PHP Code:

($apars['do'] == 'grouplist') 


REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:

($apars['do'] == 'grouplist2') 


This can be fixed by excluding group.php from the rewrite in the VBSEO control panel. This forces it to use group.php instead of /forum/groups/ (or whatever your path is).

This option means that rewrites *on* that page will not be applied (not the links *to* that page).

Thanks guys - got it fixed by ticket. Super-quickly, too!
