Major Additions - TfSEO 2: the free vBulletin url rewrite

TfSEO 2.1

TfSEO is a powerful and free url rewrite for the vBulletin system: it rewrite forum, thread and post urls.
For me it's very hard to explain well all the feature of this plugin, soo the best way is test it.

How much does it weight on the server?

I have tested on my home server:

TfSEO enabled, heavy:

It should be pretty easy: add there lines (except ) "RewriteEngine on" at the end of the tfseo's htaccess.

[MedellinStyle]

DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO HELPP!!!!!

I un-installed your product and it still has m y stuff messed up how do i correct this? please I`ve already messed up my site one I can do it again. Never mind i fixed it my self still uninstalled sorry mate it didnt work on version 3.7.3

[imedic]

I had install the product and get too many errors. Reading further I have noticed :
- product incompatible with msqli ( need the above edit) - I have this
- product incompatible with VBSEO site map generator - I have this too
Now I get why I got errors

Maybe is good to put this list on first page to avoid posts here (including the edit).

I can make first edit easily but I need advice regarding what is better to have from SEO point of view:


Does site map has more influence than rewrite from Google ranking point of view or the other way around?


I care less for users to have easy to remember urls, I care only from Google pov.

Thanks guys.

Look in your root for a file named .htaccess - if you have one, rename it to .htaccess_OLD and see if that fixes your forum. If so, you'll have to edit the .htaccess_OLD file and remove any tfseo stuff
