    wordpress and vbseo in root folder?

    Has anyone figured out a way for both vbseo and wordpress to play nice together when installed in the same folder?

    I currently have both wordpress and vbulletin installed in my forum root directory.

    vBulletin is using forum.php for the forum index and wordpress is using index.php

    The only way i can avoid errors is to use the standard wordpress permalink structure of ?p=30 whereas i would much rather use their keyword rich urls /keyword-rich-urls/

    Anyone find a way to resolve this?

    I guess one way would be to prefix all your blog posts [rewritten] like :
    /article-blogpost-title/ or /blog-blogpost-title/

    and then you can set the server to direct those /article-*/ requests to the WP core,
    and everything else to vBSEO, via .htaccess

    the easiest way is to use wordpress's taxonomy feature to fake a subfolder, ie /blog/ or /article/ and then as shadab mentions above, at the end of the vbseo htaccess,

    if its not a
    -file
    -directory
    AND now not a blog post /article/
    send to vbseo [L]

    send anything that gets this far to word press

    Guys, need some help here. I'm plannig to do the same setup in my site, i.e. vB & WP in the root folder with vBSEO.

    I checked out Mert's link but the last post says that tags won't work. Is there a work wound for this?

    I want to use wp urls like mysite.com/category-name/post-name/

    How is it possible? What should I change in the below rewrites:


    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} [0-9]+/[0-9]+/[0-9]+/.+-blog/
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]
    Like briansol suggested in the above post I'm okay to use urls like mysite.com/articles/category-name/post-name/


    Any help is greatly appreicated.

    In that case you need to define your rules with category-name/post-name

    Unfortunately i don't use wordpress and i don't have the variables for the requested items. I am sure the variables are listed within wordpress admincp

    Allright.....

    I'll setup wordpress to use urls with a folder name (e.g. articles) in it.

    mysite.com/articles/category-name/post-name/

    Can you help me with the htaccess rules need to exclude mysite.com/articles/* from vbseo rewrites and instead use wordpress rewrites.
