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

[DivaVocals]

I've found a workaround although not fixed the issue. If I hard code the links to the css and js files the site works perfectly.

So its something do do with this bit of code:

<?php  echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'jscript').'/bootstrap.js'?>

Why does your template even have this code.. Drop this silly unnecessary line (and yes I do mean DELETE IT) and simply rename bootstrap.js to jscript_bootstrap.js.. make sure its in your jscript folder..

I am unable to duplicate the issues you appear to be experiencing in a stock Zen Cart 1.5.1 installation with an unmodified version of Ultimate (SEO) URLs 2.212 installed.

Upon further review of your previous posts it appears you have made additional modifications to Zen Cart and this module. These modifications are the most likely cause of the issues you are experiencing.

I would strongly recommend:

1. Backup your test environment.
2. Uninstall the module providing alternative URLs. This includes removing all new files, modifications made to Zen Cart files, database modifications, and database entries.
3. Install an UNMODIFIED version of Ultimate (SEO) URLs. Do NOT merge any changes into this modules "new_files" or ".htacces" file.
4. Configure Ulimate (SEO) URLs to fit your needs and re-test.

Hi lhungil

I got it. It was caused by integrating with wordpress.

Thanks for your help

...I got it. It was caused by integrating with wordpress. ...

Glad you were able to get it working.

Out of curiosity (and for future readers who MAY run into something similiar)... Was there another .htaccess file (or webserver directive) for WordPress somewhere? Or were there some issues with changes made to Zen Cart code (to integrate w/ WordPress) which were causing issues?

Exactly my same question.. (you know I'm a BIG proponent of WordPress integration) because the ONLY issue I know one might run into it when using WOZ or the Numinix Blog Embedding solution without adding the directive to the .htaccess file to prevent the blog folder from being re-written.. If there is another WordPress integration issue, I'd be curious to hear what it is to..

Hi,

I've installed Ultimate SEO URLS V212 on Zen Cart 1.51. The install works fine but the .htaccess file breaks my site completely. I've never had an issue before on my own servers but this site is hosted on Fasthosts and I know I've problems with .htaccess files with them before with other scripts.

Does anyone know how to configure the .htaccess file for Fasthosts servers please?

Thanks in advance

How about asking Fasthosts to help you with this??

Hi everyone. I started getting these very long error messages generated out of the blue. I searched the forum but had trouble finding the problem. I posted this thread, http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...uplicate-entry, and followed the advice - to truncate my zen_seo_cache table. The errors have stopped but the custom URLs are no longer being generated either.

Can anyone help? Thank you.

You might need to "repair" the database table (if damaged can cause issues with entries being added / removed from the table). You can usually "repair" the table from within phpmyadmin. Another alternative (the repair would be better in most cases) is to "drop" the table (remove) and re-install this module (will add the missing table). With a fast database server (without any database consistency errors) this message should be rare.

The "seo_cache" table is only used at this time if one has the individual persistent caches (category, product, ez-pages, manufacturer, etc) turned on. One can always try turning off the persistent caches (the responses will still be cached in non-persistent memory if one has global caching enabled). One may see a performance boost or drop depending upon the hosting environment (web server, PHP, MySQL, etc).

The install works fine but the .htaccess file breaks my site completely. I've never had an issue before on my own servers but this site is hosted on Fasthosts and I know I've problems with .htaccess files with them before ...

Common reasons the ".htaccess" file fails:

• Corrupted Upload (or Upload client not treating the file as "TEXT").
• A typo when editing (especially w/ RewriteBase).
• A merge gone wrong (something out of place when merging with an existing .htaccess file).
• Web server restrictions (such as not allowing following symbolic links or rewriting).
• A web server which does not understand .htaccess files or has them disabled.
• A hosting provider using RewriteRules instead of NameVirtualHosts to provide shared hosting.
• Nested web server document roots (often using / requiring special RewriteRules).

If you have tested the ".htaccess" file on another server and it works, best advice is to contact Fasthosts (or you can muck around in the web server error logs if they are available to you).

Writing on behalf of a client running ZenCart v1.5.0 and moze.n template. When adding the Ultimate SEO URLs module, the category and product pages are being broken. After much searching, I still cannot pinpoint what is causing it to throw off the layout.

Example can be found at devstore7.ldsstores.com. Click on any product or category page to see what is happening. It seems to be completely disregarding all CSS for menus, sidebars, footer and just about everything else.

I have compared source code between working page and broken page and found no differences of any consequence. Please advise on what more information is needed or how the issue can be resolved. Thank you.
