Question Regarding URL issue

[nick123]

I am using "[DBTech] DragonByte SEO 2.0.42 [L-DBSEO-14425K5V54HT] plugin in vBulletin version 4.2.5 . As I am trying to change the url of article page. As per the plugin setting it is specify that we can use [entry_id] or [entry_title]. But I want to display only entry title in article url. If we use [entry_title] then page is not displaying. And if we use [entry_id] then only page is working. But as per the plugin we can use [entry_id] or [entry_title]. But if we use [entry_title] only then this setting is not working.

If we select [entry_title] then http://www.phuket-info.com/article1.html url is created and when we open the link then here is the result:
https://prnt.sc/m1jp7b

And if we select [entry_id] then here this url is created http://www.phuket-info.com/114.html.

I want to display on entry title only in url. So could you please help me regarding this issue.

If you switched from vB4's mod_rewrite URLs to DBSEO's URLs you may need to move DBSEO's .htaccess rules above vB's.

I have used this code in my .htaccess file of root

RewriteEngine On

# If you are having problem with "None Could Be Negotiated" errors in Apache, uncomment this to turn off MultiViews
# Options -MultiViews

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !dbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|dbseocp/|modcp/|cron|mobiquo|forumrunner|api\.php|reviewpost/|classifieds/|photopost/)
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ dbseo.php?dbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|dbseocp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images|reviewpost|classifieds|photopost)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ dbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forums/(index.php)?$ forum.php?%{QUERY_STRING}

In that case, I would recommend using [entry_title]-[entry_id].html as the URL format in order to maximise compatibility.

It's possible that later versions of vB4 removed the necessary functionality that enabled that feature to work. It is strongly not recommended to use URL formats without IDs, as it will make redirecting much more difficult when you move to another, more modern forum software like XenForo in the future.
