I'm a bit confused, is this supposed to work for vbulletin 3 and 4, or only work for vb3?

If you didnt change your vb4 url settings and left them the same as vb3 eg showthread.php?t={id here} they will work.

No, it just redirects to the home page

My vbulletin URLs did change, and so you are correct, not working.

I had the xf1 vb4 redirection in my xf1 before upgrading and that was working, so it looks like we do need a new vb4 redirect. Is this something xenforo would do, or will it be up to a 3rd party developer?
 
These redirects are PHP scripts which replace your original VB files. They should work regardless of web server.

So, i moved from /forums/ to the root. So I'm unfortunately not able to put them into the original vB files, as they would cause an issue with the current xF setup.
 
Hello,

I have problem with those addresses which have archived.

These kind of addresses:

will redirect to this path:

I found the solution.
If someone faced with this issue, just add this rewrite rule to your htaccess

Apache config: 
#Redirect archive thread links
RewriteRule ^archive/index\.php/t-([0-9]+)-p-([0-9]+)\.html$ /index.php?threads/$1/ [R=301,L]
 
Hey..... So.... This isn't working anymore? I have a pretty basic conversion of vB3 using the same folder structure... It would be great to have these redirects working... I plan on converting ALL my vB3s (quite a few) and got started on that a year or so ago. I have about 5 done so far and these redirect scripts used to work perfectly...
 
Pretty sure I am still running this, but I am seeing a quite severe issue. Are 404 showthread.php links redirected to the homepage? I am seeing this with my site. Is that part of the logic?
 
XF has committed an SEO sin with this script. If a thread, member profile or post doesn't exist, instead of a 404, they redirect to the homepage. This is really really horrible. Especially if you removed a lot of spam. Guess what, once you install this, all those spam links are now redirecting to your homepage.

if (!$target)
{
$target = $router->buildLink('canonical:index');
}
