Hello,
I have moved my forum to another server and using another domain. Now the GOOGLE URLs don't work anymore. The url "http://www.mysite.com/forum/forum-firstforum" doesn't work. The subfolder(forum) and the forum prefix is the same. I have changed .htaccess.
Is there anything more that I can do?
Thanks.

Did you enter new domain name in "Site Detail" - ACP !
Also, you need to edit "settings.php" with proper domain detail [Cookie optional]
What would be the correct way to still include the thread/forum ID number in the URL?
Would (haven't tried it yet) changing Thread-{url} to Thread-{url}-{id} be sufficient? If {id} would even work!
EDIT: Adding "{id}" shows exactly that as plain text
Still an excellent plugin that does all it says
If you absolutely must have nonsensical numbers in your URLs, try the "force uniquifier" option.
Hmmm oddly, now I have directed domain.com to domain.com/web - as /web is where my forum is - this plugin has generated a "Page cannot redirect properly" when you go to domain.com/web - but domain.com/web/index.php works fine.
Tried all sorts of mixtures of htaccess, even making a blank one which worked, adding in the URL SEO rules from this plugin, then it stops working.
Is your bburl set correctly? Any warnings on the plugins page? URL to your site?
Redirecting an entire domain to /web sounds strange. Would it redirect /web to /web/web, that would never end?

Thank you for your reply however the issue seems to occur even with ONLY "RewriteEngine on" in the forum's .htaccess so this looks more severe than an issue with MyBB or the plugin...
I don't think so, my main .htaccess under domain.com just pushes to domain.com/web - I've used this same system for years, always putting forums under /web, Joomla under /home and then redirecting the main URL to whichever the homepage is. This is the first time I have encountered this
Guess I'll contact my cPanel license provider or host as this is odd
RewriteOptions inherit
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/domain\.com\/web" [R=301,L]
If you also have inherit in the .htaccess of MyBB, that may be your problem. You shouldn't need inherit here or anywhere else, so try removing it from all your (root,mybb) .htaccess files. I'm not sure if I can help you any further here, if your problem is not related to this plugin please make a separate thread for it, thank you.
You were absolutely right, it was the inherit option - in quite a few places - that caused the issue. Thankfully BuycPanel found that out in less than 45 minutes of creating the ticket ;D - credit due there.
I did a bunch of testing and the plugin is working perfectly so far in all aspects. My apologies to of blamed your plugin; it was just a coincidence that some parts worked in my original diagnostics when taking parts of your plugins htaccess text out; I might of been taking out Inherit with it causing the issue to disappear...
Heavens knows but thanks for this amazing plugin that works excellently! ;D
Ah, the only thing this doesn't cover is help documents!
