XF 2.0 Showthread.php drops 404 errors on ngnix

[bolef2k]

Hey everyone!

I ran into an issue I can't resolve.

We switched from VB to Xenforo and it all seemed fine. Just recently I've noticed some huge amount of 404 errors piling up in Search Console.
Whenever the showthread.php is called, it quits with a 404 error. Example: https://www.pcmasters.de/forum/showthread.php?t=89299
If I redirect it to the new structure with the id manually, it seem work.

The server is running ngnix and I set a redirection but it doesn't work:

location ~ ^/forum/showthread.php?t=(.*) {

    rewrite ^ /forum/posts/$1 redirect;

  }

My guess is that it has some other cause.
I hope someone could help me out on this one

Greetings and all the best XMAS wishes to everyone!

Have a look

XenForo Redirects for vBulletin

XF301VB is a XenForo 2 add-on, which extends the XenForo router with the ability to accept URLs pointing to vBulletin content and seamlessly, permanently redirect them to their equivalent content in XenForo after the content has been imported...

xenforo.com

Use the other redirects which have a showthread.php file.

I have XenForo Redirects for vBulletin 1.1.1 running already. Seems there is anew version, maybe that is the issue?! Will try it, thanks

Which one do you mean?

Upgraded but it did not resolve the issue. I am using the slugs from Xenforo, it should work, doesn't it?
Example: /forum/threads/gaming-cpu-beratung.146047/#post-1213714

"This add-on is now deprecated and will no longer be maintained." And I have the mentioned XenForo Redirects for vBulletin 1.1.3

My problem is, that nginx somehow does unable to redirect the URLs, as the showthread.php does not exist, nginx should forward, right?

Correct, the addon might be depreciated but it still works, and due to its very basic nature (just some files and a database lookup) it wont ever have issues.

Didn't work, threw errors. I wrote my own showthread.php and now it all works out. Xenforo has no showthread.php anyway, so things are pretty simple. Thanks ^^

did you just use a blank file or what? could you post what you used? what about forumdisplay.php which also no longer exists and all those links now fail as well?
