VBseo installed, threads working, forums = page not found

[vscope]

Just as the topic says, ive installed vbseo on our forum here, vBulletin v3.5.0, and once it was installed the threads themselves were working corrently, however if you clicked the forum(s) i would get a PAGE NOT FOUND.

Now, ive gone through the vbseo and implemented the forum id's thinking this might be the problem, no luck.

Ive now disabled it until i can get an idea of what direction to go in.

The forum is www.hockeyforum.com

Please let me know guys.

Paste some examples of what the forum URLs look like when you enable vbSEO.

I don't think I've seen anyone using ".html" for a forum. They are usually formatted as a sub-directory.

Someone else will have to chime in....

Wait. I just went to this link, and it worked fine:

Hello,

don't you have other rewrite rules added in .htaccess besides those included in standard vBSEO's .htaccess?

Edit: indeed, it seems to work correctly

Strange, i followed it too.. but, heres something odder


VBseo is disabled in the Installed Products area and im running the original .htaccess file, not the the provided.

So now, im totally stumped.

Were you running some other SEO hack before?

Were you running some other SEO hack before?

i was somewhat just tossed this on my plate.. and am picking up from where whoever left off..

What i guess i should be asking is, does 3.5.x create html urls? Because when i initially took over i noticed that it was already doing so....

I had mentioned it to another guy, and he was sure 3.5.x did the html urls already....

[Oleg Ignatiuk]

"html version" of vB doesn't create the URLs like that (it will just replace forumdisplay.php?f=xx with forumdisplay.html?f=xx).
Perhaps you have another hack installed that affects your URLs. Please check your installed products/plugins for that.

it appears that DC Seo vB URL rewrite (Rewrite) is installed.. that looks to me as its 3rd party...i just scanned through the Plugin System and noticed it at the bottom, between the VBseo stuff thats crossed out

[Oleg Ignatiuk]

Please disable that plugin and re-enable vBSEO. Let us know if that helps
