Hello every body
Can any one guide me how to make the urls of my forum SEO friendly. What I actually means is that I want that the url of my this thread 

http://iiustudents.com/thread-10-post-10.html#pid10

should be like this  

http://iiustudents.com/thread-10.html
OR
http://iiustudents.com/karachi-stock-exchange.html

Please help me and guide me. I want to make these changes manually so if you can guide me with that, it would be better. Additionally I have downloaded Google SEO plugin and install it twice but I think I am making some mistake due to which on ACP it shows me a number errors. If possible please tell where to put which files of this plugin and how to put it. 
Thanks in advance Heart .
Any body out there please respond
Looks like no one is ready to help or guide me Confused

What error exactly you get if you try install the google seo plugin?
Please stay calm, we are all voluntares, sometimes you are lucky and recive an answare in a few minutes sometimes in the next 24 hours.

Please make sure you have Search Engine Friendly URLs enable in your Admin CP

Admin CP -> Configurations -> Server and Optimization Options

Find “Enable search engine friendly URLs” and enable. Also find “Enable search engine friendly URLs in Archive“ and enable that and save

In your forum root make sure you renamed “htaccess.txt” to “.htaccess”. It should be working now.

If you need anymore support please reply.

Thank you broatcast for reply.
Somehow I manage to install the plugin after many fail attempts but now I don't know how to configure my url. I want that my urls should appear like this http://iiustudents.com/karachi-stock-exc...nment.html
and no this http://iiustudents.com/thread-10-post-10.html#pid10
Additionally I received below message on plugins page. What should I do about? Any guidance? 
Thanks in advance Rolleyes

But when I tried to submit this url to google, it shows the error of non valid url.
Not a valid page address. Please enter a valid URL, for example https://www.example.com/mypage.

From the image you shown me it looks like you are trying to submit a thread to Google. There is no need for that Google will index your site including threads, post, links and everything else on the site automatically all you need to enter is http://iiustudents.com/ and wait. As far as changing the URL goes I don’t know about that you will have to wait until someone who is more experiences comes and help.

What it says: Apply changes to core files. (click apply)

Please note you published your "my_post_key" in those links, and that key is supposed to be secret. You should also change the password of your forum/admin account to obtain a new post key. (You can change it to the same password you're already using, it will generate a new random salt / key / ...)

After applying core settings changes now I am getting the following error


The requested URL /Thread-What-Is-Amortization-Full-Assignment-For-Free was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Please guide

To make the URLs work you have to add the rewrite rules, as shown by Google SEO on the plugins page, to your .htaccess file.
