Wordpress interfering with VBSEO

**mrcreditcard** · 09-25-2008 03:52 PM

Hello,
I'm new to all of this. I installed the plugin correctly and configured everything in my forum directory. I also uploaded the .htaccess files to the forum directory. I have wordpress installed in a completely different directory on the server.

My forum is in /forum and wordpress is in /blog. Everything is enabled and the permalinks are now appearing on my forum however whenever I click on a post or thread it now takes me to my wordpress blog for some reason (which again is in a completely different directory), even though the URL to the forum or thread is correct in the address bar.

Please help!

What are the contents of your .htaccess in your forum directory? Did you try adding RewriteBase /forum/ below the RewriteEngine On ?

This is what my htaccess looks like

Code:

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)

RewriteBase /forum/

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.askmrcreditcard\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.askmrcreditcard.com/forum/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

"RewriteEngine On" line is missing at the top of file.

That line is in there, I just didnt copy it and paste it here. If you want to see exactly whats happening go here - Ask Mr Credit Card Forum - Powered by vBulletin and try to click on a category.

Please open a support ticket with ftp access for troubleshooting: https://www.vbseo.com/tickets/

Update: resolved via the ticket (.htaccess file was not uploaded in forum/ folder).
