Thanks for your reply, can you sent me a test link? I'll have a look at DBseo to make it compatible.

OK, I installed this as a trial and found that if you turn Archives off in your AdminCP that the redirect doesn't work.

Seems odd. Isn't the reason for this mod so you can turn Archives off and still have existing search engine links point to your forum content?

Also, I found that it doesn't work if the link is to: youdomain.com/forum/archives/index.php with this link you get the standard Archive display.

It's as it should be, when you turn off the archive the whole /archive module is gone and thus this mod doesn't get a chance to run.

robot.txt disable archive for boot
Webmaster tools disable archive link
Footer, remove archive link
Leave involved redirection, for a month or two google will lose links.
Then turn off the archive module.
There is no 404 error.

After dorans contribution I understand that:

1- I need to install this mod
2- put a line on robots.txt to exclude the http://domain/archive/index.php
3- this will exclude the archive from the sitemap
4- go to webmaster tools and disable the archive link
5- remove the link in the footer (this is the difficullt part)
6- wait until archive links are out of Google lndex.
7- turn off the archive module.

Thanks for the mod and for the instruction set.

Any clue to remove the archive link from the footer?

Go to your footer template and remove:

Did a virus scan on the download: nothing. Tried reinstalling on a fresh vBulletin install and works, got to be something else wrong with your board mate.

Is there any more reviews to share on this mod?

[droopy64]

Good question, anyone is using this mode and how stable it works?

I tried using this on 3.8 and it didn't work.
