Currently supported URLs include:
Standard, Basic or Advanced URLs:
Change of directory:
Follow these instructions if you wish to also change your forum directory when moving from vBulletin. A basic understanding of rewrite rules is required - these are just examples. To specify the root directory, swap out /old-dir/ or /new-dir/ for /
Standard, Basic or Advanced URLs:
Apache: (untested)
Nginx:
Mod_Rewrite URLs: (Note that these are only tested with the route-based redirection system)

Currently supported URLs include:
- Forums
- Threads
- Post permalinks
- Members

Standard, Basic or Advanced URLs:
- Upload contents of standard-basic-advanced/upload folder to your forum root.
- If your URLs are not working, follow these instructions: http://xenforo.com/help/import-redirection/
- If you are using nginx and Advanced mode URLs, you may need the following rewrites:
Code:rewrite ^/showthread.php /showthread.php; rewrite ^/forumdisplay.php /forumdisplay.php;
- Upload contents of standard-basic-advanced/upload folder to your forum root.
- If your old rewrite rules are still in place, your URLs may work at this stage. If not, continue to install a route-based alternative: (and be sure to disable any remaining vB4 rewrite rules as they may interfere with the routes)
- Upload contents of mod_rewrite/upload folder to your forum root.
- Install the addon XML file mod_rewrite/addon_vB4Redir.xml
- If your URLs are not working, follow these instructions: http://xenforo.com/help/import-redirection/
