Ultimate SEO v3 (and v2.200) [Support Thread]

i would look at the complete htaccess file.

i think it could be a question of the ordering of the rules there.

Agreed, but the rules posted by the OP are part of the as-shipped USU .htaccess.

I will check the the debug log. Here is one of my old url links from pinterest for an example: https://enchantedcottageshop.com/sho...-vintage-style

I also noticed that my code to block bots in the .htaccess file is no longer blocking them I will rearrange the order of coding to see if that makes a difference. As of now, my codes are after Ultimate SEO's codes in the file. I will put my codes first to see if that makes a difference.

The url redirect code at the beginning causes the Ultimate SEO not to work but it works fine with the bot block coding in the beginning. I will have to wait and see if the bots will be blocked, I sure hope so.

That's got nothing to do with USU; it's something in the Zen Cart base.

The bots are not being blocked anymore because they accessed my site today. So my old urls were redirecting and bots were being blocked before the ultimate seo plugin. I wish I was smart with coding, I don't understand why the ultimate seo codes in .htaccess are causing my redirecting codes and bot block codes not to work

If, as @carlwhat suggested a couple of posts ago, you'd post the full contents of the .htaccess file (use the "CODE" tags, the big # in the menu bar) that would give us something to comment on.
