I need to remove it but vbseo won't provide much support about solving the issue of broken links after removal. Anyone here had any experience with vbseo removal? I didn't expected to have to learn custom rewrites to remove this add-on. Any help appreciated. Also see: http://www.vbseo.com/f2/will-uninstall-break-links-8142/#post107657
Guess I'll have to learn the custom entries then. Have no experience with rewrites. vbulletinsetup.com, man that sounds familiar. Oh, I see now, got it. Thanks
do you know what an .htaccess file is ? There is no custom entries to learn, it's been posted exactly how it should be posted
Em that's why I'm posting for help I'm not the know it all. Your sounding a lot like vbseo support guys though. If there's nothing else you can "add" then thanks. As I said I will look into this... cheers
just google ".htaccess" and you will see what it is and where to place it.. You should already have one in your root from the vbseo install, just add the line that Oleg posted for each link you want to redirect after removing the lines vbseo added. cheers, I'm not vbseo support, but it's some questions that a little research would save time by the OP
I never understand when people tell others to Google it. .htaccess is a file normally in the root directory of your web folder but it can be in any directory. It's a file that tells apache special commands. Some of those special commands are how to deal with links. mod_rewrite is an Apache module. You can use mod_rewrite commands in htaccess to redirect calls to pages that don't exist. It's used for a lot of redirecting and mostly for SEO purposes. Now if you want to know how to remove VBSEO ....Google it.
