Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[bigsy85]

Hi all,

I had an overlooked problem with my URL rewrites, products are shown as www.domain.com/productname50ml.html instead of www.domain.com/productname-50ml.html

The problem initially was that product names were not seperated with a '-'. This has now been fixed but my problem is I want to redirect the original urls with a 301 redirect so that it goes to the new url seperated with a '-'.

####################Original .htaccess that did not seperate urls with a '-' __

So if any one understands my problem, how do I rewrite the old urls to redirect to the new URL's


Thanks in advance!

I like this module, but it does not work well with larger sites. It slowed down my site and I had problems with it timing out every time I tried resting the cache.

Hi

I have installed the mod by following instructions and so. All went well, but all my product and category links lead back to home. For example:
rolls-royce-carmague-c-cPath=74_85
leads to
-c-cPath/74_85/
and home page loads.

I run the ssu_check.php and i inserted the suggested code into my htaccess. In admin all seems to work fine.
I have Zen 1.3.8 and SSU 3.6.7

What is the problem? Am i missing somenthing?

Thanks!

Anybody any answer to this problem? It is Very urgent! TY

Try this go to your store admin/configurations/Simple SEO URL and Set Link Alias Status to true and Set Auto Alias Status to true. Go to extras/simple_seo_url_manager and Reset all cache: Maybe this will fix your problem.

hi yellow1912
First, let me thank you for your great module and your continued support (along with everyone else).

I just wanted to bring to your attention a problem I encountered while installing SSU on my development system.
My system has the following installed

Apache 2.2
PHP 5.2.8
MySQL 5.0.51a
running on Windows vista Home Premium

The error occurs when I go into admin-extras-simple seo url manager and it pertains to the syntax of the mySQL statement

INSERT INTO configuration_group VALUES ('', 'Simple SEO URL', 'Set SSU Options', '1', '1');
I can't tell you the exact error at the moment as unfortunately I fixed it before copying it :-(
Anyhow MySQL 5.0.51 does not like '' so instead I edited 0.sql and changed '' to NULL as shown below

INSERT INTO configuration_group VALUES (NULL, 'Simple SEO URL', 'Set SSU Options', '1', '1');

and everything worked ok

Sorry if this has already been posted, i didn't feel like going through the 500+ pages of this topic !

I'm glade it worked out for you.

Your sitemap should also contain new links. Did you re-create the sitemap after you enable seo?

In my case the links looks like similar (http://domainmane/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=13_43) even before and after I enable/disable the SSU and create google sitemap.

When I click on product and category they seems to be fine as domain/category-c-id/product-p-id
