Question Old URLstructur change to new,

[mrd]

Hi,
after change to DBSEO a lot of Links are in the old VBSEO Style.
Many Searchengines have the old links, so that are all Users that come over an SE like Google go to the Forumhomepage.

is there any Way to make it wit an htaccess, that the old links go to the Newone, or that the are rewrite back to Standard URL?

Here are an example for the old Structure

The new one from dbseo are
Corsa B - AGR Ventil

and here are the old vbseo one

Why not just use the vBSEO Importer in DBSEO? If you want to customise your URLs after you've imported them, the old URLs will automatically redirect with no .htaccess needed

Hi,
i just imported the vbseo xml.
but with an crash and a totally new dbseo structure, they are gone away.

but i found an tool, that put the vbseo structrue back to the Standard.

Redirects for vBSEO URLs to native vBulletin format

i hope it´s ok for the Link.

If you still have your config.xml file backed up somewhere, simply place it back in the /vbseo/resources/xml/ directory and re-run the importer.

This will provide an increase in performance over using .htaccess to redirect to standard URLs then DBSEO redirect to new URLs.

Hi,
if i use the Importer, they are all new DBSEO rewrited Links gone away.
And then i have the Same problem? or have i a thinking problem?

 

[Fillip H.]

If you use the importer, the previous URL formats will be saved in a "history" table which means the old DBSEO URLs will still work
