Clean, search-friendly URLs (SEO plugin)

Install our free, open-source plugin for title-based URLs with no numeric ids.

Out of the box MyBB uses numeric links like showthread.php?tid=42. Our free, open-source SEO plugin turns those into clean title URLs — /Thread-How-To-Install-Themes — for threads, forums, users and announcements, and adds 301 redirects and canonical tags so search engines consolidate on one address.

It's a standard MyBB plugin you install yourself, and it's yours to keep, read and modify (MIT licensed).

Install it

  1. Download the latest release zip below and extract it.
  2. Upload Upload/inc/plugins/bfsseo.php into your forum's inc/plugins/ folder (File manager or SFTP).
  3. In your Admin CP, open Configuration → Plugins and click Activate on BuildFormStudio SEO.
  4. Tune it under Configuration → Settings → BuildFormStudio SEO — per-type toggles, 301 redirects, lowercase slugs and more.
Download the latest release
The web-server rewrites this plugin relies on are already in place on BuildFormStudio-hosted forums, so there's nothing else to configure. On other hosts, add the rewrite rules from the repository's README.
