hello all,
my url was like this:
monsite.com/forum/forum10/topicXXXX.html
Now they are in this form:
monsite.com/title-of-topic-tXXXX.html
the zero duplicate is enabled.
the old url of the different forum had no ID (/forum10/ for exemple), so that the old url forum give a 404, which is not a worry for me, but the problem is that monsite.com/forum/forum10/topicXXXX. html is not redirected to monsite.com/title-of-subject-tXXXX.html (404).
is there something to add in the htaccess, because I want my old url of topics to be redirected to the new?
thank you in advance for your help.

All these urls (with pagination variants) should be properly redirected to whatever the url you choose by the zero dupe with the default generated .htaccess (latest version).

Code: Select all

forum10/topicXXXX.html
forum10/
topicXXXX.html

If it does not, then you must be using different defaults for the static parts of the urls (see install.xml on how and where to update them). Since you seems to have elected the advanced mode, you can safely update your static part to match these (eg forum to forum and topic to topic).

thank you for your answer.
I forgot two important things:

-monsite.com/forum/topicXXXX.html is properly redirected to monsite.com/title-of-topic-tXXXX.html, it's just monsite.com/forum/forum10/topicXXXX.html which is not redirected to monsite.com/title-of-topic-tXXXX.html

-you said htaccess lastest version. my version is 3.0.7-PL1 so perhaps it's the reason why it doesn't work? If it is, I am afraid to update my version because I have changed a lot of html and css. so I read install.xml but i didn't find how I can do.
is it possible for me to update my version only on this point?

I read again install.xml and now I think I understand what you mean (I have 3.0.7-PL1 version so perhaps it 's why the old url are nor redirected?).
so if I understand I have to add something in the file phpbb_seo/includes/setup_phpbb_seo.php, isn't it?
I would like to ask you tree things:
1-can you give an exemple of what I have to add (for exemple to redirect all the old url of an old forum monsite.com/forum/forum10/topicXXXX.html to the new monsite.com/topic-title-tXXXX.html)?
2-I have to generate an other htaccess?
3-why monsite.com/forum/topicXXXX.html is well redirected to monsite.com/topic-title-tXXXX.html and not monsite.com/forum/forum10/topicXXXX.html? is it because /forum10/ hadn't ID?
