MyBB is a Free and open source forum software released in 2002. MyBB has a acronym of My Bulletin Board. It’s one of a widely used and popular forum software which ranks one of top 10 forum software.

Enabling Google SEO 1.6.5 :

The complete installation process only takes time less than 20 minutes. The steps involved in installing this plugin are:

  • Meeting the minimum requirements.
  • Installing the Plugin Library on your forum.
  • Downloading the Google SEO.
  • Unpacking uploading and installing Google SEO files.
  • Editing .htaccess.

That’s it.

Meeting the minimum requirements:

You must meet the minimum requirements to installing the Google SEO plugin. The list is provided below:

  • MyBB 1.6.4 (older versions of MyBB need the Google SEO Legacy plugin)
  • PluginLibrary (11)
  • PHP 5.1.0
  • Apache (alternative webservers may work but are not supported)
  • MySQL (alternative databases are not supported at this time)

Installing the Plugin Library forum:

Plugin Library is a collection of many useful plugins. It’s like a basement for Google SEO plugin to work.

  • First download it from here. Download and unpack it.
  • Now find for “pluginlibrary.php” on your unpacked folder.
  • Go to your Cpanel (Web Host) and go to File manager.
  • Then go to public_html and go to your forum folder.
  • And go to this path “inc/plugins” and upload your ‘pluginlibrary.php’ file there.
  • Now log on to your forum and go to Admin Panel.
  • Go to Plugins  under the Configuration category.
  • Now click on Install & Activate near the PluginLibrary.
  • The PluginLibrary is successfully activated now.

Downloading the Google SEO Plugin:

First of all, download the plugin by clicking here.  Click I Agree and proceed to download. Wait till the download completes.

 Unpacking uploading and installing Google SEO files:

  • After downloading the plugin from here, unpack it on a separate new folder.Let we call the new folder be gseo.
  •  On your new folder go to the inc  folder and go to plugins folder. You will see the sub-folder named google_seo. 
  • Upload the entire google_seo folder to your inc/plugins in your Cpanel file manager (Upload the google_seo folder to the plugins folder) .
  • And upload the google_seo.php  file to your plugins folder.
  • Now go to your gseo folder and go to  inc sub-folder and then go to the languages subfolder.
  • And upload your files on the proper sections (Hint: The proper sections means, if you notice the arrangement of folders in the gseo folder with your forum folder on our Cpanel the both folder arrangements will be same)
  • Now go to Admin CP of your forum and go to plugins section.
  • Click Install & Activate near the newly came Google SEO.
  • The plugin will show some notifications like the things which is present below.

Many MyBB users feels this part as the confusing on the overall installation of Google SEO plugin. But this process made simple now! Just follow the steps given below:

  • Now check for the htaccess.txt file.
  • After finding the file on your forum root directory rename the htaccess.txt file to .htaccess .

      You have to do a little bit changes in your .htaccess file.
      Try to edit your .htaccess file like this:
      RewriteBase /

      # Google SEO workaround for search.php highlights:
      # Make this rule the first rewrite rule in your .htaccess!
      RewriteRule ^([^&]*)&(.*)$ mydomina.com/forumname/topicname/$1?$2 [L,QSA,R=301]

      Try to replace the default code in htaccess.txt with the code you got on MyBB SEO plugin and rename the ‘htaccess.txt’ file to ‘.htaccess’.

    Hello,
    I got an error message after I upload the Google Seo plugin files to the FTP. Was the reason for that message that I uploaded Google Seo first, before I have uploaded the plugin Library Forum ?
    Here is the error message from Admin CP/Configuration/Plugins

      @Flobse. First uninstall the Google SEO and Plugin Library plugin and activate the Plugin Library first and then activate Google SEO Plugin. Hope it works for you!

    Add to .htaccess:
    # Some hosts require RewriteBase to make RewriteRules work.
    RewriteBase /forum/

    # Google SEO workaround for search.php highlights:
    # Make this rule the first rewrite rule in your .htaccess!
    RewriteRule ^([^&]*)&(.*)$ http://useradda.com/forum/$1?$2 [L,QSA,R=301]

    Unfortunately it still doesnt work.
    1. The error message ( in Admin Cp / configuration / plugins) shows following:

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare google_seo_plugin_info() (previously declared in /homepages/4/d456740505/htdocs/politdebate.com/inc/plugins/google_seo/plugin.php:45) in /homepages/4/d456740505/htdocs/politdebate.com/inc/plugins/plugin.php on line 71

    I have seen that in this error message mentioned plugin php file that there is already a part which contains googleseo
    informations.

    2. And after I installed and activated plugin library the message (in admin cp/configurations / plugin) was that it does not to have be activated. Is that message normal?

    Can you please help me.

    Thank you on advance.

        To my first problem it cannot be normal because I cannot activate and install google seo plugin! I cannot see anymore in admin cp /configuration / plugins the other plugins. It shows only the error message.
        If I could, I would send you an screenshot of:

        the error message ( in Admin Cp / configuration / plugins), which shows following:

    I’m now a bit further, but I still have problems.
    I will send you again two screenshots where you can see the problem.
    1. After I activate Google seo plugin, the message (see screenshot 1) is showing another picture as you show us above in your advise or tutorial to install google seo. I also cannot see any code. Why?
    2. If I turn on all this google seo (in admin cp / configuration / settings / google seo) configuration parts (Enable Google SEO 404; Enable Google SEO Meta; Enable Google SEO Redirect; Enable Google SEO Sitemap; Enable Google SEO URL) the error message (see screenshot 3) is coming.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

        # – name the file ‘.htaccess’ (starting with the dot, no .txt)
        #
        # Alternatively you can add the required rewrite rules to your
        # existing .htaccess, the specific rules required will be displayed
        # on the plugin status page once Google SEO URL is enabled.

          Hi Chris,
          No, you should have to include the code after
          # Some hosts require RewriteBase to make RewriteRules work.
          RewriteBase /           also.

          So your .htaccess file would be like:

          # EXAMPLE .htaccess FOR MYBB WITH GOOGLE SEO URL
          # ——————————————————————-
          # This file is identical to MyBB’s htaccess.txt example file,
          # with rewrite rules for a standard Google SEO install added.
          #
          # Before using this file please make sure to:
          #
          # – replace /MyBB/ with your forum folder, e.g. / or /forum/
          # – replace yoursite/MyBB with your forum URL
          # – name the file ‘.htaccess’ (starting with the dot, no .txt)
          #
          # Alternatively you can add the required rewrite rules to your
          # existing .htaccess, the specific rules required will be displayed
          # on the plugin status page once Google SEO URL is enabled.
          # ——————————————————————-

          Options -MultiViews +FollowSymlinks -Indexes

          #
          # If mod_security is enabled, attempt to disable it.
          # – Note, this will work on the majority of hosts but on
          # MediaTemple, it is known to cause random Internal Server
          # errors. For MediaTemple, please remove the block below
          #

          # Turn off mod_security filtering.
          SecFilterEngine Off

          # The below probably isn’t needed, but better safe than sorry.
          SecFilterScanPOST Off

          #
          # MyBB “search engine friendly” URL rewrites
          # – Note, for these to work with MyBB please make sure you have
          # the setting enabled in the Admin CP and you have this file
          # named .htaccess
