MyBB Community Forums

I want to change the SEO urls from /forum-test to /forum/test. I've edited the settings off Google SEO and also changed the htaccess file. But I still get 404's everytime when I click a url.

Also there aren't trailing slashes in my new urls, the slashes become %2Ff instead of a trailing slash.

mybb/user%2Fjessewillem

This must be,

mybb/user/jessewillem

This is my .htaccess file is someone finds a error in it,

Options -MultiViews +FollowSymlinks -Indexes

Also I've truncated the database which stores all the SEO urls.

Slashes in URLs break all relative links, which MyBB uses a lot, so you really don't want this. Google SEO will stop escaping / as %2F in the next version, but it won't magically make the link problems go away. So if you want to use slashes in your URLs, you're on your own.

Thanks for your advice,
I think I'm going to change it back to the defaults of the plugin.

Didn't do that for me...

How did you implement slashes in the SEO urls then?

I've installed google SEO but there is no trailing slash "/" at the end of URLs. How can I modify it? I think it's a rule in htaccess but I don't know how to write it. even when there is a lot of google SEO rules there.
