This seems to be something that changed from XF1.5 to XF2.2 We lost 1.2million pages due to this problem. We are years later still looking for a solution..
I'm sure this is a stupid question but here goes...
When google crawls /threads/after-run-coolant-pump-v51.298845/post-3762150 it get redirected to /threads/after-run-coolant-pump-v51.298845/#post-3762150 This adds another redirect.
Is there any reason. Sorry for my stupidity in advance :)
I'm not sure from a SEO point of view Google will like this... I have 1.7million pages listed with them...
All I need to do it stop the endless redirects...
would this work better? The sub folder is called xf. Might be better for SEO?
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule ^xf/(.*)$ /$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/xf [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /xf/$1 [L]
This is as simple as it sounds. For years we have had a little HTML file that redirects everyone from the root to the folder the xenforo installation is in. Surly we should be doing this in the .htaccess and if so how ??
