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

[lat9]

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?

Unfortunately, those underscores separating the categories are significant, as they're the built-in Zen Cart way of identifying the cPath variable.

That's as I expected. Thank you for the information. My boss has been using an SEO Site Audit tool that complains about the underscores (because Google might interpret those incorrectly as part of a word) Since it's cPath data it really doesn't matter in terms of SEO effectiveness.

I've just submitted v3.0.5 of USU to the Zen Cart moderators for review; I'll post back when it's available for download: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=132

This release contains changes associated with the following GitHub issues:

#32: Strip unwanted &'s from the generated href_link.
#34: Correct admin PHP warnings when creating storefront links.

Unfortunately, that release contains an unwanted PHP parse error. I've just submitted USU v3.0.6 to correct that issue; I'll report back here when it's available for download.

Please don't use v3.0.5!

I successfully installed without any problems.

What parameter do I need to do to set to get my links to look like this?

From: http://yoursite.com/index.php?main_page=contact_us
To: http://yoursite.com/contact_us.html

Did you enable USU to provide those alternate URLs? Configuration->Ultimate URLs->Enable alternate URLs?

Configuration->Ultimate URLs->Enable alternate URLs? Yes

When i try to navigate the catalog i get various errors relating to not being able to find files.

I suspect that cause is related to .htaccess. I am running on a Sietground hosting service. Could you give me any guidance what might need to be changed to resolve the problem.

The .htaccess in the root looks like this: one line
#AddHandler application/x-httpd-php70 .php .php5 .php4 .php3

The .htaccess in the public_html:



RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tennesseeflyfishing\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.tennesseeflyfishing\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/pki-validation/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/tennesseeflyfishers\.org" [R=301,L]

No idea whether you did that right or not, but it does go before the mod code in the file.

When I set Enable Alternate URL's in the Ultimate URL's under Configuration to Yes I get Page Not Found when I navigate to a page.
