How to change Permalinks of topics?

R_J

@rajlaksh follow Shadowdares link to give more info on the actual error and please tell when it appears: after activating or after surfing to /Plugin/Replacer.

Besides of that, using the regex on a table dump is the much cleaner approach. Do you have a text editor that supports regex? I personally use Notepad++.
You would have to open phpMyAdmin (or whatever tool you use to access your db) and export table GDN_Discussion and GDN_Comment.
Make a backup copy of both files.
Open one of them in Notepad++
Search for (forums\.example\.com\/)(\d+)-(.*)(\/#post)(\d+)
Check you get correct results
Go to Search and Replace and set $1discussion/$2/$3/#Comment_$5 as the replace term
Repeat the same for the next file
Afterwards import both files to your db again.

Pro: no timeouts, no bonks
Con: you will have to make your forum read only for the time you are working on the exports, so that newly posted content will not "disappear"

If the plugin is not working for you, your forum is down anyway, so the mentioned con is not really a valid disadvantage

http://forums.example.com/798-hi/ == that Bonk Error.

I've Backup whole db for security.

Vanilla is in sub directory. So My forum not get effect.

http://forums.example.com/Vanilla/

Server: NGINX+PHP-FPM = php 5.5.

Mysql = mysqli

I only use notepad++

Really sorry, I might have get you wrong all the time and I'm glad you've backed up the db...

• I have assumed you are using a brand new Vanilla install under forums.example.com. Right?
• You should have the standard "BAM!" discussion under forums.example.com/discussion/1/bam-you-ve-got-a-sweet-forum. Right?
• You have old links in the form forums.example.com/1-bam-you-ve-got-a-sweet-forum#post1. Right?
• You have run the plugin and now tried to open forums.example.com/1-bam-you-ve-got-a-sweet-forum#post1? Why? That should be a non existing link now.

@R_J yup.
So need rewrite there? in vbseo only vbseo.php file everything running. so in Vanilla SEO reject my link. because it can't change permalinks.

So i need to routes Replacer?

R_J

Forget vbseo.
With the plugin or notepad++ you've already changed all occurrences of the old link format in your forum. So calling an old link should give you an 404 but not a bonk error. Please follow Shadowdares advice above and tell us the real message of the error.

You'll need "moved permanently" routes for old external links to your forum, though.

All right, digging deeper is a waste of time, for usin a plugin hasn't been the best way to solve your problem. Have you tried this =>

I got this a lot when testing on PHP 5.5. It has to do with deprecation of features. You will have to increase the level of error reporting, or just use PHP 5.3.

Anyone how to validate Vanilla?

That error only show in debug mode.
