|
|
As best I can tell, I did everything I needed to, I made sure all the files are changed, ran the install, generated and moved the .htaccess to the root directory and added the updated robots.txt and refreshed the theme on the ACP...
but when I dig through my forums, they still have the same old urls that they used to have - I looked that the Demo Forum and they don't look anything like that...
so, does anyone know why it might not be showing? Am I missing something? |

I dont see the SEO logo in the footer - are you sure you have done it all described in the install-file?? |

no, not at all... I thought I did - any idea what I missed if I did everything I mentioned earlier?
THis is from the install file
| Quote: | For a smooth install :
1) Backup all your files;
2) Apply the mod code changes on copies of your files;
3) Upload all files;
4) CHMOD the phpbb_seo/cache/ folder to 0777;
5) Empty the phpBB/cache/ folder : just delete all files EXCEPTS the .htaccess.
6) Go to -www.yoursite.com/phpBB/phpbb_seo/phpbb_seo_install.php and follow the install instruction
7) Go to phpBB ACP : It's now time to play with settings described bellow;
 Generate your personalized .htaccess and upload or move it following the instructions;
9) Test a rewritten URL, such as -www.yoursite.com/phpBB/post1.html, if you end up with a 404 (not a phpBB message), go back to step 8;
10) Activate URL rewriting in phpBB ACP and allow yourself some auto-congratulation  |
and I did all of this. The exceptions were with #2, I actually uploaded the files first, then realized I needed to do this later and they all had the added code already - the SEO Toolkit stuff...
The other exception was #9 because, none of them appear to be re-written... |

| OK, I think I got it working - I was just getting confused between the pre-mod and the other mods... I ended up just installing the whole pre-modded SEO package and using that - everything seems to be working - thanks for your help |

Seems to work. But I would disable SID in the settings... |

| What is SID and what is the reason to disable it? |

| I noticed that the title tag includes the forum name before the topic, I think I would rather have the topic listed first - that seems better for SEO to me, isn't it? |
