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

Hi - if I change the name of a category will existing links (internal and external) still resolve to the newly renamed category?...

They will still result in the same category page being shown (old and new URLs will both work). The canonical on the page will point to the new name / URL. If "automatic redirects" are enabled, a 301 redirect to the new URL will be returned.

Thanks for that Larry :)

hi,
i had a "small" problem. lets say you did a search for 2 words:

red or blue

zc will now search for either or of these 2 terms. now, lets say your search results came up with more than 1 page. if you clicked on the 2nd page of your paginator, zen will no longer find your search terms.

i have isolated this down to double encoding of the keyword search terms. in my example i was able to solve this problem by changing line 424 in includes/classes/usu.php as below

// original
    default:
        $container[$p2[0]] = ($p2[1]);
        break;
}

//changed
    default:
         $container[$p2[0]] = urldecode($p2[1]);
        break;
} 

it seems that this fix might be needed in other places where there are multiple words being used as part of a key in the url.

I noticed the same problem and added this to my htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.*?)%(25)+20(.*?%(25)+20.*)
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}?%1+%3 [N]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.*?)%(25)+20(.*)
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}?%1+%3 [L,R=301]

Would you be able to send a link to a site you have it working on.
Hope you don't mind.

Thanks Carl. I just wanted to see it on a working v1.55 site.
Sorry didn't mean to confuse you.
