Uninstall & Results

[r.dziadusz]

We just decided to marge these two folders upload and upload-once into one. The content from upload-once still exist, so it shouldn't be the problem.
Please tell me if did all required steps: did you made changes in vBSEO files? Becouse if not, the old .htaccess file wouldn't work

[raymond]

Yes I did all the required steps. vBulletin is installed in /forum directory.
1. Upload everything from the upload folder to the root of the forum.
2. Installed the product from admincp
3. Updated htaccess.

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

4. Modified functions_vbseo_createurl.php and functions_vbseo_url.php according to readme.html instruction.

Right after I change the 2 vbseo files, my forum became blank. Of course I've checked the configuration of vBET and make sure that every important option is set such as license key and etc...

Bump again!

[vBET]

Hi. If you want just to have redirects please add to .htaccess appropriate rules. If ou are done with vBET then there is no sense to install it just to have redirects. Still vBET will to the redirects if someone goes to unsupported language, but having simple .htaccess rules is better for performance.

Google will show you errors as long as it will not remove old links from indexes and as long as other pages includes URLs to your pages. It would be same if I add to my page URL: your_domain\not_existing_page
You will see then one more Google error, because he didn't found on your forum URL he fallowed. So you can just ignore it or redirect. As I saw on your screen shot only one URL is to translated pages - the rest is to normal - also not existing pages. And the one to translated one is simply inked to your from 6 locations.

vBET impact on your forum finished when you installed it. Now you are dealing with already indexed pages and links to your forum from other services. If you do not want to use vBET there is no need to install it. Just simply add rules with 301 from translated pages. Radek - we already gave such rules in some thread. Please found those and publish here for raymond.

Hi
Here is an article:

For already indexed - just create redirection rules which will redirect all those requests back to the original one. Use this (please test those):

#RewriteRule ^/?(af|sq|ar|hy|az|eu|be|bg|ca|zh-CN|hr|cs|da|nl|en|et|tl|fi|fr|gl|ka|de|el|ht|iw|hi|hu|is|id|ga|it|ja|ko|lv|lt|mk|ms|mt|no|fa|pl|pt|ro|ru|sr|sk|sl|es|sw|sv|zh-TW|th|tr|uk|ur|vi|cy|yi)/$ / [L,QSA]
#RewriteRule ^/?(af|sq|ar|hy|az|eu|be|bg|ca|zh-CN|hr|cs|da|nl|en|et|tl|fi|fr|gl|ka|de|el|ht|iw|hi|hu|is|id|ga|it|ja|ko|lv|lt|mk|ms|mt|no|fa|pl|pt|ro|ru|sr|sk|sl|es|sw|sv|zh-TW|th|tr|uk|ur|vi|cy|yi)/(.*)?$ /$2 [L,QSA]

Add your forum directory there. Or in other words - those are 2 first vBET rules where you should remove vbenterprisetranslator_seo.php?vbet_lang=$1&redirected=

[raymond]

vBulletin is installed in /forum/ directory. Can you advise where should I insert the rewrite rule based on my .htaccess file below?
Also don't forget to put the 301 redirect code. Thank you.
