MyBB Community Forums

So i followed every step that was provided in the Google SEO plugin. Every setting is correct according to the plugin itself but on my forum when i try to access a thread or go to a user profile it returns a 404 Not Found error.


EDIT: SOLVED THANKS TO THIS POST

Edit: Also, friendly URL's are enabled in server optimization settings.

Here's my .htaccess

# 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.

Screenshot of the plugin settings being correct:


I've tried everything i know of.

My vps is running on a Apache2 and the domain is set up on cloudflare.
Could it have something to do with cloudflare dns setup? or something else?

looks like apache configuration file needs to be modified (this might help)
