Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[twdhosting]

You can certainly use alias to do this, you dont have to edit your filesname or anything, this is the beauty of SSU. Put products_new in your link field, and put whatever you want in the alias field. You may want to check the Alias Manager video tutorial for more info

Thanks Yellow - using the Alias feature is getting there... It's re-writing the URL fine now but so products_new.html now goes to the page new_designer_clothing.html but that page cannot be found (404 page)

I've tried clearing all the cache's but it doesn't make any difference!

I wonder how you are putting in the link and alias field, but one problem I can think of is the html extension. From seo point of view, that extension part is not needed anyway, perhaps you want to first take out the extension

Cheers Yellow - that nailed it :)

I removed the html extension from the SSU config...

It's a shame it didn't work with the .html extension though - it makes the URL's look neater somehow...

I will look into it in future versions. But just for some info, in the seminar I attended recently with the big G guys, I had this question and they told me the html extension doesnt really have any value. It will just mean your client will have to type some extra characters

Hi,
How can I keep Simple SEO from redirecting css and image files? everything else is working fine

Hi everyone,
Im trying to optimize our webpage and while using firebug, it seems that a lot of pages are being unnecessarily 301 redirected (we have Simple SEO installed).

Here is the htaccess file; (I have put modrewrite off clauses in some folder but cant get all files)


	
	
php_value max_execution_time 3600

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "zencart" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase /
RewriteBase /

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU
How can i add a clause to stop redirecting images, css files, etc to avoid problems?

Thanks in advance!

I dont see any reason ssu would redirect your css or image files at all, perhaps you may want to describe your problem in more details

while checking out a firebug report (debug addon for firefox), i can see that it is redirecting everything, not only php files which i think is slowing down the server
