XF 1.5 vBulletin redirection

[vfrworld]

I'm sure I'm just missing something simple.

• I successfully imported from vB4 to xenForo
• I moved from /forums to /
• I installed this: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/vbulletin-4-x-url-redirection.120/
• I updated my 301config.php based on this: https://xenforo.com/help/import-redirection/
• I added these lines in the root .htaccess:
  • RewriteRule ^forums/showthread.php /showthread.php
  • RewriteRule ^forums/forumdisplay.php /forumdisplay.php
• The redirect from /forums to / is what is not working. If I manually removed the /forums in the url, then it successfully redirects.

Do the two RewriteRules go someplace other than .htaccess in the root dir?
Thanks.

Can anyone assist with this? Hate to start losing my google search links. Thanks!
