Indeed they can, though there don't seem to be any definitive instructions. All the ones I have seen posted usually have replies stating most URLs were redirected, but not all.

There's always DBSEO of course, I believe that can redirect vBSEO URLs. However it's still relying on a third party. Albeit one with a good reputation.

Sure, but vbseo also had a good reputation for years as well.

Well.....you may find some who disagree. As you may with DBTech. That's why I included the caveat that such a solution is still relying on a third party.

The purpose of this site is to help users with the modification of vBulletin.

vBulletin.com is the place to discuss (or complain) about the software itself- no one who is a decision maker in vBulletin reads this site. Its like complaining about the park to someone who volunteers their time to pick up litter in the park. If you have a complaint, complain to the city- not the people coming by to help everyone out.

Yes it would stop it.


FYI, off topic posts removed. Refer to post above.

can anyone tell me i am getting this mess , after updating

i think your "public static function path" is wrong

Just replace this in functions_vbseo_pre.php

PHP Code:

function path($type = '') 


with this static

PHP Code:

static function path($type = '') 


i have replace, and still work

Good luck.

Did you solve this problem?

We have the same problem after upgrading vbulletin from 4.1.7 to 4.2.2 today.

Getting this error message right after installation:

Non-static method vBSEO_Storage::path() should not be called statically in

In functions_vbseo_pre.php we changed:
from: function path($type = '')
to: static function path($type = '')
Also tried: public static function path($type = '')

With both modifications we don't get the error message anymore, just a blank page.
(internal server error 500)

What can be the solution?
Hope we can get our forum up and running again.

Thanks in advance.

For those of you who are having troubles with vBSEO try using DBTech SEO Pro. I have installed it on a client's site and it will import all your vBSEO URL's & settings and work just like vBSEO did without errors or at least it should. So you can ditch vBSEO and stop the blank pages & errors. You have to get the Pro version, the lite version does not offer to convert the URL'S to DBTech SEO.

To completely remove vBSEO make sure that you do the following:

1. Back up your database completely before you start. This is crucial do not skip this step!

2. Make sure that you have uninstalled the vBSEO product. To do this go to Plugins & Products > Manage Products...Find the vBSEO product on the list and click on the drop down to the far right and choose "Uninstall".

3. Delete all the files associated with vBSEO. They usually have vbseo in the filename and you can check for suspect file versions in your vB AdminCP. To check for Suspect files go to Maintenance > Diagnostics > Suspect File Versions then click the "Submit" button directly under it. This will give you a list of the files that are not the current format of vBulletin you are running. Here you can see all the vBSEO files.

4. This step you may or may not need. If you are still having vBSEO problems or it still continues to screw up your URL's etc then you may need to check your database to make sure that when you uninstalled the product that all the database tables were removed. To check your database to see if you still have vBSEO tables in there go to Maintenance > Repair / Optimize Tables. Here you see a list of the tables in your database. If you see any tables that are related to vBSEO then you can run a query to drop those tables. BE CAREFUL IF YOU NEED TO DO THIS! Be sure to back up your database first before making any changes to it.

This is probably a PHP error. Is that error above from your error logs? If not you might want to take a look at them and post anything related to vBSEO or vBulletin so other programmers can see the errors.

But if you uninstall vBSEO, how do you import the settings and such into DBSEO?
