Angelotus, I can't see how that could be caused my this mod.

As usual, I find that most of my mods I use are maintained by vbgamer45


Anyways, I am trying to force the URL - meaning if you type in http://www.site.com and http://site.com, you get the same size. But Google caches it as two sites....so I want to add two very simple lines to the .htaccess file...

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.site.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.site.com/$1 [R=301]


But every time I do, it cause the forum to break...

Any ideas?

hello,
i have moved the forum from one webspace hoster to another one. After this process, it is not possible to use pretty urls. When i enable it, than shows me the seo-friendly link an 404 error. But before it works great.

.htaccess is writeable and configurabel, mod write is 100% supported.

I have used after chanching the webhoster the repair php, the forum itself works, but not the pretty urls. I had still erased all entries of pretty urls in the database (include the tables in smf_options or smf_settings ((i forgot how it is named))).

Do any one have an answer?

Either one works but you can only have one installed.

The advantage of Pretty Urls is that is very easy to expand and has support for the popular mods.

I noticed that :

- pretty stores the links in the tables sql and simplesef not.

- Simplesef add links in .html and not pretty.

Google does not prefer the links in .html ?

For google it really does not matter so much what the ending is as long as url does contain a ton of endless variables than it is fine.

Basically what you are doing with these mods is to create a more human readable link. Doing this also adds more keywords to your pages since you have the urls in a pretty format which then in turn helps your search engine ranking since there are more keywords on the page.

is there any way to change one of the actions? im on dreamhost and /stats is already in use by the control panel and i can not change it

So, i installed pretty URLs. Everything is ok but one problem. When i write post or use some option of moderation in the topic, i'm redirecting to white page. If i press refresh, i get this error: You already submitted this post! You might have accidentally double clicked or tried to refresh.

And post appears, but that white window sux... Why is it?

Everything is ok when i disable URL rewriting on Topics and Boards.
