ive installed the new tool for xf2(actually twice now)...just as mentioned in the above posts...it did not fix the issue.
 
I could be wrong as I don't actually have it installed, but from looking at the code I'd imagine you need friendly URLs setup for this to work properly (as otherwise those links won't hit XF's router).

What do we need to do as users to get this addon fixed? We already opened tickets and we were told to post in this thread instead of opening tickets, we've posted in this thread multiple times and nothing is being done. I hate to be annoying but this is serious issue that many people are having.

I think many issues in this thread are due to inexperience of the user and misconfiguration, but there is a significant subset of users whose problems can't be chalked up to those causes. What do we need to do to convince the powers that be to take the issues more seriously? Posting in this thread doesn't seem to have any effect. I have been patient and waited several months so I am bringing this topic up again.
 
Any help on converting the htaccess to nginx rewrites?

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

# If you are having problems with the rewrite rules, remove the "#" from the
# line that begins "RewriteBase" below. You will also have to change the path
# of the rewrite to reflect the path to your XenForo installation.
#RewriteBase /xenforo

# This line may be needed to enable WebDAV editing with PHP as a CGI.
#RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(data/|js/|styles/|install/|favicon\.ico|crossdomain\.xml|robots\.txt) - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
</IfModule>
 
I made a little video tutorial regarding installing this plugin and using it with friendly URLS on nginx

I'm struggling with these as well... have some old vbseo links that used to work on xf 1.x like
forum-title/thread-name-nnnnn/ where nnnn is the thread id. I've tried several variants and i just end up at the xf 'oops' page all the time.
 
Hey, I run 3 VB forums and am in the process of migrating them to XF. I had a concern regarding SEO. I spoke with my SEO guy and he said that using the 301 redirects will ruin our google rankings. My sites all have excellent rankings and have been around for 20 years, with over 1 million threads in total. I am very worried about losing my google ranking. Is this a credible concern? Anything I can do? Thanks.

I'm getting 404 error

This is what in nginx vhost file location /
NGINX: 
  location / {
  index index.php index.html index.htm;
  try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri&$args;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/503include-only.conf;

# block common exploits, sql injections etc
#include /usr/local/nginx/conf/block.conf;

  # Enables directory listings when index file not found
  #autoindex  on;

  # Shows file listing times as local time
  #autoindex_localtime on;

  #try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;

  }

No errors in admin panel server errors log
Imported from vb 3.8
nginx version: nginx/1.17.9 (100420-175959-centos7-3cb25c3)
PHP 7.3.16

old urls are like site.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14494561940

I had the previous vbulleting installed in /forum/
And xenforo is in the document root directory.

Anyone can spot the issue?
I just installed official add-on and then config the log table in admin options. nothing else.
Do I have to set nginx configurations too? I have installed xenforo into the default public directory.
But neither site.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14494561940 or site.com/showthread.php?t=14494561940 urls aren't redirecting.

I've managed to redirect working by adding your code into the vhost config file followed by the original location / { block
like this:

NGINX: 
location ~ \.php$ {
      try_files $uri /index.php?$uri&$args;
      fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
      fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
      include         fastcgi_params;
  }
  location / {
  index index.php index.html index.htm;
  try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri&$args;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/503include-only.conf;

now the redirection is working to the root web url ( site.com/showthread.php?t=1234)
But not with the correct path. It was site.com/[B]forum[/B]/showthread.php?t=1234

So I've created a sub folder named 'forum' in public documents folder and copied index.php from SourceLocation to that folder and corrected the path

This time the error I'm getting is ''the requested page is couldn't be found"

AFAIR in the docs of this addon are steps mentioned if you have your forum in different locations compared to the original one. Did not apply to me so I can't help there. But from the nginx side you should be fine, as your requests reach xenforo. Only the addon has to get the paths to the former forum right ....
