Google Spider Blocked Indexing Photos

Google Spider Blocked While Attempting To Index Photos.

Cant figure this out? Ive checked settings....
What am I missing?

Also, does vBSEO umbrella PhotoPost?

Any substantial advantage to using "spider-friendly URLs" ?
When I turn it on in the CP all images disappear.

Screenshot attached with IPs, usernames and topics deleted
for privacy reasons. Is it possible to open a support ticket
to have settings checked?

Thanks in advance....

vbseo is not for Photopost we have our own SEO urls for our product.

You would set the spider url to SEO and provided you have renamed the HTACCESS file to .htaccess you should have seo urls. Not sure what you mean by images dissapear.

Your vb who's online display would not know photopost locations and since that is not our product it is not a bug. I beleive that is what your trying to show us with that pic right your forum page?

Images do not show up in gallery [black boxes where image is supposed to be]
when spider-friendly option is turned on.

You can post a link to what you mean where you mean as far as images not showing when seo is on as this is news to me.

vbgallery does not have SEO urls?

Is there a reason you posted a thread there?

If we are discussing photopost then you need to rename your HTACCESS file that comes with our product to .htaccess then you should be able to use SEO urls if your server supports mod rewrite

Our provided htaccess file is most definately not empty. This is the contents of our htaccess file
