Bug Getting "File does not exist"

[brock258]

pages are not loading ... "The requested URL /forum-title/ was not found on this server."

getting a File does not exist on error_log


also, I noticed that the "Maximum URL Keywords" settings is being ignored (at least with forum titles)

I have this set at 3.

You will need to edit your .htaccess file in order to resolve 404 errors. Make sure you are using the .htaccess info provided in the readme.txt file.

hmm, I've checked that over and over again and it looks good (copied/pasted exact content provided by dbseo)
I will continue looking into why this is happening.

anyway, what's up with the "Maximum URL Keywords" settings? It is being ignored (at least with forum titles)

I have this set at 3.

for example...

I'm getting

/how-to-use-site/

when it should be

/how-use-site/

After delving back into the code, I can confirm that the Maximum URL Keywords setting is ignored for forum titles if your Forum URL format does not contain the [forum_id] variable. This is working as intended.

I would recommend, for performance and reliability reasons, that you add the [forum_id] variable to your forum URLs formats (and any other URL formats that have this as an option rather than a requirement).

just getting back into this ...

hmmm, it would have been good to know about this before I purchased a license. I have a 3 words max with VBSEO for years. Don't want to change it.

Where exactly can I edit this in the code (so it doesn't ignore settings)?

(My forum titles are unique where they don't clash with each other.)

I believe approx. line 219 in /dbtech/dbseo/includes/filter.php is the one to comment out:
