Ya, I have the new rules in and it IS working fine. Bummer there isn't a work around, but I get it. Small bit of pain to get out from a weird evil paid for mod that was limiting my PHP version. Thank you very much!

there is a workaround. the -c- and -p- anchors can be replaced by whatever you want.

and you can add a rule in your htaccess file for -moc- that replicates the -p- rule.

I'm trying to get a top level categories page working outside the index. USU doesn't seem to have a function to deal with index.php?main_page=index&cPath=0
I added RewriteRule ^categories$ index\.php?main_page=index&cPath=0 [L] to custom 301 redirects and IF I turn off enable automatic redirects in config I can use either path to get to the categories page. But I can't force the URL to be https://dev.pezcollectors.com/categories and if I turn on enable automatic redirects in config either path just defaults to the home page. I also tried adding categories to limit alternate URLs, but it didn't change anything.
Suggestions?

Try creating a separate page named categories (base url index.php?main_page=categories) and then RewriteRule categories to that.

This is a great mod and thank you to all those who have worked on it!!

I am running it on a v.1.5.8 site and wondered if it is possible to remove the product model # in the URL so that the URL just includes the product name.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Er, USU doesn't include the product-model in the URL.

Thanks for your reply lat9....

Maybe I have misunderstood the syntax. For example what I see for a URL for my product Knick Knack - Merry Moments is knick-knack-merry-moments-p-2499.html The p-2499 is the product model and product id. This is the part I would like to remove from the URL.

Hope this makes more sense.

The p-2499 is how USU's addition to your site's .htaccess knows to rewrite the request to product-id 2499's product page and, as such, is required.

Thanks for your reply lat9 and for letting me know about this is how the entire mod works.

I appreciate your help!

I apologize if this has been covered before....but I could not find the answer to this question. I am running v.1.5.8

After installing USU several weeks back (and using the included .htaccess file) Google is not indexing over 2800 pages on my site (most of my site). The reason from Google is "Alternate Page With Proper Canonical Tag" is the reason given.

In Admin I have set Enable Alternate URL's to True and set Enable Automatic Redirects to True which should set the 301 redirects. Can someone shed some light on why Google is not indexing???

Thanks in advance for your help,

Jeff
