Thomas P Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Hello we were using showthread.php, showpost.php and forumdisplay.php from the redirect scripts for vB to IPB3, now I need the three redirect scripts for IPB 4. Were can I find them? I was thinking that we don't need them, since our migration from vB3 was in 2012, but Google Search Console tells me a different story... Thanks, Thomas

Thanks, Thomas These are now built into the converter application, just make sure that you have it upgraded to the latest version and that you have it enabled. You can remove the standalone redirect scripts from your file system.
Thomas P Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 Thanks, this doesn't seem to work for me. I can remember during upgrade from 3.4.9 to latest 4.2 there was a message that I don't need the files anymore. So I removed them together with the other IPB 3 files. But the old URLs don't work anymore:https://www.mcseboard.de/showthread.php?t=64295https://www.mcseboard.de/showthread.php?postid=78145 Even when using new Topic IDs I get the same message. The converter is stil in place, status is showing finished... What is going wrong here? Thanks, Thomas

Thanks, Thomas 1) Don't use the new ids (you need to use the original ids) 2) Make sure the converter application is still enabled in the AdminCP 3) If you still have trouble, submit a ticket as suggested
Thomas P Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 Understood and agreed, thanks Brandon
Thomas P Posted February 28, 2018 Author Posted February 28, 2018 This issue was solved very elegant by IPS Support, if someone needs the Rewrite Rules to redirect vBulletin 3 URLs to IP.Board 4.2 URLs feel free to ping me. Prerequisite for that is that you used "Keep IDs" during conversion from vB to IP.B
