TroubleShooting
Solutions to a few common problems
en, tr If you're experiencing problems with Pretty URLs this page may help you. But first check that your forum is using the latest version of this mod. Stable and SVN snapshot packages are available on the downloads page. Every link causes 404 Not Found errorsIf after installing the mod every link is broken, there is probably a problem with your server (it may not support mod_rewrite or per-directory .htaccess configuration files). To fix the links so that the problem can be diagnosed and fixed, or so you can uninstall the mod, create a new .php file with this code: <?php
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/SSI.php');
updateSettings(array('pretty_enable_filters' => '0'));
?>Upload the file to the same location as your forum's SSI.php and open it with your web browser. Then don't forget to delete it! Links point to old domain after moving forumThis is very simple to fix, in addition to updating all the other settings with repair_settings.php, this mod has one more setting to fix. You can either manually fix the pretty_root_url setting yourself, or else create a new .php with this code: <?php
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/SSI.php');
require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-PrettyUrls.php');
updateSettings(array('pretty_root_url' => $boardurl));
pretty_update_filters();
?>Upload the file to the same location as your forum's SSI.php and open it with your web browser. Then don't forget to delete it! Sub-directories can't be openedIf you have a sub-directory in your forum directory you will no longer be able to access it as SMF will think you want to open a board with its name (note if you refer to a page in that sub-directory it will work fine.) With one addition to your .htaccess file you can fix this. You may have to change your FTP client's settings in order to see the hidden .htaccess file. This example is for the sub-directory /chat/, which should open /chat/index.html; add it to the top of your .htaccess file (outside the Pretty URLs section!) RewriteRule ^chat/?$ /chat/index.html [L,QSA] |

This is not the place to ask for support or report bugs.
Please report bugs in the issues tab above, and ask for support in the mod's topic at simplemachines.org. Thanks!
The sub directory problem has a much more simple solution. Inside every folder in your SMF root dir that is unrelated to SMF, you add a .htaccess file with "RewriteEngine? off" in it. It's as simple as that and works alot better than the solution above. If you do want rewrite rules, just set "RewriteEngine? on" and override the rules you want overridden. That's much more Apache-friendly anyway!
hi! I think pretty urls have a big bug in RC2 version. After installing to my forum (http://www.techinspiration.in) all my urls except my forum's is redirecting to my forum! Means there was a blog (http://www.techinspiration.in/blog) if you click this It was redirecting to my forum! My web host has solved this problem but still in some urls the problem is going on! Any suggestions?
Hi pankaj.sea. Your problem is exactly the one I had in mind when I wrote the third section. So follow it's instructions, except with 'blog' rather than 'chat'.
thanks dude, best seo :) but, "?!" etc. character show, in url. How do change "!?" character to "-" character ?
Hi, My problem is:
My forum is in Hungary, and this mod doesn't remove characters like $!? from the url and miss out the folloving: Ő,ő,Ű,ű
there is any solution for this problem?
Hi peterhupuczi, yes you can add those characters to the big array in Subs-PrettyUrls?.php
Thanks for the great info...
I can not edit or add new boards once i installed this mod. any idea why?
I get the following error
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare prettyboardurls() (previously declared in /home//public_html/mainboardirect/Sources/ManageBoards?.php:733
For those of you wondering why your newly re-named board is not updating...
This is because there is a hidden feature in PrettyURLs that you may not know of. In your Modify Boards Admin page, for every board category, there should be a PrettyURLs link to the right of it. Click that and then enter the new pretty url you want to use. Make that one the primary.
Tadah!!!
Hey Guys,
I'm not much of a computer guy..... here is my question.
Im running version SMF 1.1.11 and Pretty URLs Version 1.0RC4

Hi, I have a little problem. I'm using Pretty URLs and it works all right, except when I want to join the Forum tab (where to add forums or subforums) I get the following error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare template_pretty_board_url() (previously declared in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/240076/webspace/httpdocs/mascotas/foro-de-mascotas/Sources/Load.php(2140) : eval()'d code:628) in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/240076/webspace/httpdocs/mascotas/foro-de-mascotas/Sources/Load.php(2140) : eval()'d code on line 670
Everything else works, 10. Greetings

I have the same issue when posting a reply in 2.0rc5 and rc4. I moved database deleted all pretty related tables and settings - reinstalle prettyurls rc5 and am still unable to post and have it redirect properly afterwards. Just times out. Post goes to the database but no new page comes up?

SMF 1.1.13 default theme Simple portal 2.3.3
I pressed enter and then tried to modify Subs.php according to parse instructions. When I remove the lines related to pretty url, I face strange problems. Like ;Members unable to login using any browser. White screen appears. Trying to remove error entries with "remove "all" button, again white screen .
The code part that fails when I remove is:
'pretty_admin' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=admin;area=pretty">' . (isset($txt['pretty_urls']) ? $txt['pretty_urls'] : 'Pretty URLs') . '</a>',
Need urgent help please...
I just tanked my site when I activated Pretty URL on SMF 2.0. I can't figure out how to post on SMF forum. They seem to say come here and this site seems to say go there. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for the codes. It helped solved it. PS: For those who feels the codes are not working. log in, clear your browser cache and log on again. Works like magic.))
I installed and everything was going well. Now it seems I cannot use the same pretty link if I used it before (but deleted it).
Any ideas why this is?
