Did my location blocks help at all?

I converted from Vbulletin 3.8.6 to Xenforo 2.1.0, and once I had everything set up and running to my satisfaction, added the Redirects for Vbulletin Addon. Then I went to setup / options / vbulletin import and chose the log table from mu initial import.
I uploaded all of the Xenforo files to /forums where my vbulletin resided. However, if I go to a link for my vbulletin forum, I'm not redirected to the new Xenforo forum. I can continue to browse through my old forum.
Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

Ok. The Xenforo forum works at https://www.broncoiicorral.com/forums/index.php, but when I went to a known link for the vbulletin forum, it worked as well. I renamed the vbulletin 'includes' folder so that vbulletin wouldn't work.
Now if I go to https://www.broncoiicorral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=152685 I get:
"
This page isn’t working
www.broncoiicorral.com is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500"
It doesn't redirect to the Xenforo forum.
I had uploaded the 'src' folder, and then went in to addon and chose the vbulletin import log table and clicked save.
Did I overlook something? It would seem to me that the vbulletin redirect doesn't work with XenForo 2.

You cannot just delete a folder in vB, leave all other vB files in place and expect redirections to work. You need to remove ALL vb Files from your server, upload the redirection add-on again and set it up correctly.
hello,
thinking about testing with this some....not right away, but i noticed one thing i want to ask a Q about...
i see that it wants to reference the import log.....in my case....for some reason....i created separate import logs for core data, vb albums, and photopost imports....
what will i need to do for making the most with this?
thank you

You can simply merge all those tables into a single table and reference it for the add-on.
Just export any single table and import it into a new combined table.

Is it possible to add an option to this addon that doesn't require use of the import log table? i.e. if all IDs were retailed for threads/members etc... then showthread.php?t=1 will still re-direct to /threads/asdasddas.1/.
I didn't keep the import log as retained old ids (which I now regret), but it would be very handy to make use of this addon

I'm moving from vBulletin 4 to XF 2.1. I've got the new XF site ready for importing but I don't want to do that until I know I can close VB to the user community, Import, and come back up under XF without a problem within a couple of hours. I'm trying to prepare well in advance and the redirection instructions make no sense to me. I've read all these threads and they make my head spin.
This statement in the XF 2.1 manual, "This can be done with minimal effort, using the XenForo redirects for vBulletin add-on, which started shipping with XenForo from version 2.0.2.", appears to be incorrect. I did find "[Beta] XenForo redirects for vBulletin" in Resources. I'm sure it would be helpful to any new users to either correct the manual or be a little more specific about where to find the add-on (a link would have been nice.)

Why was this labelled as unmaintained? It's pretty necessary for anyone moving to XenForo from vBulletin. We're still having issues with URLs containing
