Ok i have installed google seo on previous sites and it has worked fine.

360general.com however wont work.

I want it so i can search members like this 360general.com/Kyle and my profile will come up.

Ive done it before but on this site i get 404. I also get 404 when trying to view forums and threads. what can i do
BY THE WAY, im sorry for asking all these questions, im not very good. im a bit rusty. havent done site dev in years
Make sure you applied the necessary changes and that your .htaccess is okay

Also, the configuration you're asking for is not possible. You need to have a prefix attached to the URL in order to avoid issues. Without one there will be URLs linking to two different places. For example, if I created a thread titled as "Kyle" the URL 360general.com/Kyle would be linking to the user and the thread. Obviously, that will cause problems.
okay i fixed it and put it back to default User-, but if you click any of my forums that i have not edited they still give 404 when i havent edited a single thing

# 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.

i have go daddy hosting if that has anything to do with it
im really sorry if im doing something completely wrong, im a novice Toungue
Did you rename that to .htaccess? Also, go to the plugin page and make sure you applied the core edits.

I would just give the documentation a read and make sure you didn't forget anything.

Yes, i renamed it to .htaccess. And yes i applied the core edits. Do you think i could delete all files and give you a try at it? I wanna see if its just me doing it wrong or something with the site
