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

Format of alternate URLs = original; Display categories as directories = off
but I've always the cPath, as http://www.100asa.it/100asa-kit-4-te...13_28300_28325
Why?

Because Zen Cart always adds the "cPath" to product pages. Therefore the "cPath" query parameter is left on the URL to avoid breaking any third party modules which (lazily) rely upon the presence of the "cPath" query parameter in the URL.

You may find this post of interest: Details on how settings affect product URLs.

What is your business case for needing the "cPath" query parameter removed?

So yeah... I was REAL careful, I'm not an idiot... followed every step. Obviously I missed something anyway because all I get are error 404 with each and every link. Where do I start?

edit: Well, almost every link. The My Account link works, but I see that's because it was never rewritten. It still says /index.php?main_page=login Others are rewritten... and don't work. They LOOK fine to me, but all are 404.

Oops. It helps to check permissions before whining that something doesn't work :)

.htacess was not writeable so on upload nothing happened.

Sorry for false alarm. Links appear to work. I'll go play now.

I do have two questions though:

1) login/my account links aren't friendly url. They are https... is that just the way it is? or can links to secure pages be re-written too?
2) links I have within my product descriptions or CMS pages are not rewritten. Is there anything I can do about that (other than going through and manually changing them to the friendly link if I feel so inclined)? Is it perhaps an absolute vs. relative issue?

Thanks.

my logs tell:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function zen_get_info_page() in /var/www/vhosts/100asa.it/httpdocs/includes/classes/usu.php on line 324 

when I try to send email by recover cart sale https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=25
Where is the issue?

If these are hardcoded links in your product descriptions or CMS pages, you will have to manually change them..
