Upgraded to latest version 4101BF today for lang link rel="alternate" hreflang

[ctrenks]

Im using dragonbyte, I went though English and it seem'd OK. let me keep looking

[ctrenks]

OK, so in english it all looks correct, changing lang its showing the forunthread? ext.. does not VBET rename the urls for the translated pages? English logged in or out all links are .html rewrites?

Only when the page is translated does the url get not re-written

[vBET]

Once again in English it is not correct, because you are redirected to showthread.php page and you shouldn’t. URL in your browser should be same as in front page - SEO friendly.
For example go to page:

https://www.allfreechips.com/phpBB2/new-members-forum/10209-new-members-please-read-before-posting-new-post.html

You will be redirected to:

https://www.allfreechips.com/phpBB2/showthread.php?t=10209&page=10&p=75367#post75367

That shouldn’t happen.

What happens with URLs on translated pages can be related to this issue, so this one must be solved first.
Clearly vBulletin do not recognizes appropriate URL and make redirection to not SEO friendly one.
As I wrote you can easily check is it related to vBET or not - see previous post.

I can not re-create the new post section in the thread. If i click on your url it re-directs, but any forum clicking shows normal seo freindlt url's. I thought i was ok with VB but where are you getting the new post link for a thread?

[vBET]

You will find "new-post" links on your forum main page:

https://www.allfreechips.com/phpBB2/

Please check does vBET is related to "new-post" issue by disabling it for a moment. If not - find solution. If yes - we will help you.

I see also other issue. As I see now for not "new-post" links your SEO links works fine, but you cannot go to translated page - you got redirection back to English page. This happens only on thread links (sub forums are OK).
Please make sure that your .htaccess file is OK. Also make sure that you are using supported by vBET SEO links. Please note that vBET requires integration with vBSEO if you are using it (described in readme.html).
If you confirm that your configuration is fine and the issue will still happen we will help you solve it on you server. Still first, please fallow our instructions. Installation/configuration service is paid one, we will help you free if this is some vBET bug. So first we need to confirm that your configuration is fine and "new-post" issue is related to vBET. As long as SEO are not working fine without vBET we cannot expect them to work fine with vBET.

I had your team alter the htaccess a long time ago for the forum and non forum pages, I also went with Dragonbyte SEo in place of vbseo. I do know I can not delete the VBSE functions still without error even though the plugin is removed from vbulletin.

here is the forum directory htaccess related.

In the root directory I have a lot of cpanel added comodo lines with vbet added as well for outside forum pages but that should not effect newthread ext.

[ctrenks]

I also went through all Dragonbyr=te settings and vbet and no mention of new thread. I will pay a fee to have this looked at closer if needed to correct.

Dragonbyte SEO is NOT supported by vBET - this is why you have issues. We do not plan to support external SEO engines, because vBulletin has native SEO engine since 4.0. We support integration with vBSEO as backward compatibility for forums before 4.0 or which do not want to change SEO engines. Forums which want to remove vBSEO have free SEO engine included in vBulletin since 4.0.
