You should have a database table with vB and wpForo topic post relation. Without this relation information there is no way to redirect. How can wpForo understand what is "?t=5123 "? That's impossible. There should be a separate script in your WordPress functions.php file which should connect to database table and find wpForo topic ID and redirect it.

In other words, the redirection should be done my migration maker. You should ask the developer who does this migration to create vB = wpForo topics ID relationship and write a small code to detect called vB topic ID and redirect to wpForo topic.

How can I make a redirect 301 for my old vbulletin forum.

I've got this but that's not 100% correct

Redirect 301 /ned/forum/ https://www.pondlibrary.com/forum/

as result I get this

https://www.pondlibrary.com/forum/showthread.php/?t=5123

But that gives my a strange wpforo page.

How can I solve this?
