Some of these have ?action in the URL so it could simply be entries that have one of their actions blocked by robots.txt. If you don't like this you can remove the *=* entries from your robots.txt and thus unblock them. Normally they should not appear in the index results at all either way but be overshadowed by the non-blocked main URLs.
You can go to Google Webmaster Tools -> Crawl -> URL Parameters and add the "action" parameter as Effect:Other Crawl:No so Google will explicitely ignore those superfluous links. Note that this is a very expert setting, if you do it wrong you can destroy your whole index.
frostschutz, found a minor issue.
it looks like the plugin is calling for .gif images rather than .png images on the index.php?module=config-plugins page. I believe mybb moved from .gif images to .png when it went from 1.6 to 1.8.

Hi guys,
I try to find in this thread if there is any similar issue but it has a lot of troubles. I could not find out.
Below is an error when I try to enable Google SEO plugin.
Not Found
The requested URL /MyBB/forumdisplay.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
^ do you have wordpress installation at the parent folder ?
Thank you, .m.
I have found the problem. Since my forum is installed on the root folder.
.htaccess file should remove the code
/MyBB/.
It's fine now. Thank you for your quick reply.
Quote:# EXAMPLE .htaccess FOR MYBB WITH GOOGLE SEO URL
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
# This file is identical to MyBB's htaccess.txt example file,
# with rewrite rules for a standard Google SEO install added.
#
# Before using this file please make sure to:
#
# - replace /MyBB/ with your forum folder, e.g. / or /forum/
# - replace yoursite/MyBB with your forum URL
# - name the file '.htaccess' (starting with the dot, no .txt)
#
# Alternatively you can add the required rewrite rules to your
# existing .htaccess, the specific rules required will be displayed
# on the plugin status page once Google SEO URL is enabled.

Hi guys,

Header unset Cache-Control
Header append Cache-Control "no-cache, must-revalidate"
but on my admin panel I am told I need to...
Add to .htaccess:
# Some hosts require RewriteBase to make RewriteRules work.
RewriteBase /forum/
but that's already there, near the top...
Am I missing something daft? (well, duh... obviously
)
Thanks in advance.
^ move that block to the top of
.htaccess file and check again at admin panel
RewriteEngine on
# Some hosts require RewriteBase to make RewriteRules work.
RewriteBase /forum/
It worked, thanks
I was confused by the fact that just above I had:
"# Google SEO workaround for search.php highlights:
# Make this rule the first rewrite rule in your .htaccess!"
I should have taken this literally as referring to RewriteRule and not to "any old" rewriting rule
Hi, I just wanted to tell you that I installed it without any issues. Perfect and this is easier than installing it on previous versions as I remember. Thank you for keeping up to date on this great plugin !
