This doesn't appear to be compatible with the mybb merge threads via url function.

Already brought up several times, but would still be nice to see a fix of any sort.

Also, sometimes when I go to a URL with a post # in it I am just brought to the first page ...

When the directory mode is enabled it is still possible to go to the URL without the directory name included in the URL. Is there any way to fix this?

Example:
http://www.vqte.com/religion/problems-wi...-7392.html
http://www.vqte.com/problems-with-fundam...-7392.html

Both work, but it would be nice if only the first one did.

Hi, first of all fantastic plugin!

I have been scratching my head, and trying to get this on error fixed... Been at this for 5 hours now... but now I finaly decided to ask for help.

The problem.... 2 description tags.

How to get rid of them both? Or just one.

There is <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

and also
<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript" />

Why would you get rid of them? They are there for a reason. Content-Type is used to inform the browser what kind of format the site is in and what kind of characterset it should display it in.
And the Content-Script-Type is to inform it what kind of script language it is using

The problem is, there is two descriptions, both are the same. Therefore Google will find it as "duplicate" meta tags. It goes like this....

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<meta name="description" content="Same description is here" />

<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript" />
<meta name="description" content="Same description is here" />

Won't Google think of this as duplicate meta tags?

I have the same problem and reported it a page or two back. I think I will disable this for now until it becomes more stable.

Open seo.php and find:

$page = preg_replace('#<meta(.+?) />#', "\\0{$meta_tag}", $page);

Replace with:

$page = preg_replace('#<meta(.+?) />#', "\\0{$meta_tag}", $page, 1);

But the google detecting it as duplicate or bogus is a fallacy. Regardless, it was a bug that had to be fixed.

The whole purpose is to use one type of URLs. If you are using one, you'll have to stick with it. I probably missed adding a notice to choosing the URLs type for a single time and leaving it as is for the rest of the time.

The second URL works but there's no way anyone would link to that URL if you never enable those type of URLs in the first place; the reverse is also true.

Except if we had the previous version of your SEO mod enabled and thus that's what the search engines indexed, but then we decided with your new release we wanted to use the directory mode instead; the indexed search engine URLs would still work even though we would no longer be linking to them anywhere on the forum.

Anyway, no worries.

Ive noticed that when a thread has more than 1 page when you try to go back to the previous page or pages it just sends you back to forums home page.
