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

Trying to turn off Ultimate URLs for a specific subfolder (Google_Merchant) by updating .htaccess but it's not working. Is there something else needed?
(It redirects back to index.php)

What changes did you try in the .htaccess and what's 'not working'?

I'm guessing that you might need to add a negative RewriteCond to indicate that the redirect to the main-page shouldn't be performed.

I would have thought one of

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/store/Google_Merchant [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/Google_Merchant [NC]

would do it - but no.

I would have thought one of

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/store/Google_Merchant [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/Google_Merchant [NC]

would do it - but no.

So what is the result those RewriteCond statements? What's an incoming link look like and what's the result?

[swguy]

I get bumped back to store root.

https://site.com/store/index.html?args

OK, what's the link look like prior to the unwanted redirection?

[swguy]

https://site.com/store/Google_Mercha..._feed.php?args

[lat9]

Could you send me a copy of the current .htaccess via direct email so that I can review?

[lat9]

Following up: It turns out that the unwanted redirect to the site's home page was being issued by the Google Merchant Center processing. No change needed to the USU .htaccess.

I need a little help in configuring Ultimate URLs. Currently it is providing URLS that look like this /wall-series-wine-racks-c-130_58_85/le-rustique-p-1657.htm I am wondering if there is a way to change the underscores (in the c-130_58_85) to dashes/hyphens. Do I use a PCRE rule, and if so which one? Or do I turn off the Generate CPath?
