Importing rewritten urls

[drerr]

Our forum is currently on a vBulletin 4 installation. We've been using an add-on for SEO that rewrites the urls. One concern is how these might behave on import. Is there any way to match the old urls as they import so that they remain stable?

It isn't possible to match the XF URL structure to VB.

You will need to implement redirection to automatically redirect traffic which is hitting the indexed VB URLs.

There are scripts available for standard URLs but it sounds like you will need a custom solution.

If you preserve IDs then it's a much simpler issue to resolve.

What addon? vBSEO?
