Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[yellow1912]

I hadn't notice this before now, my site is live and open to the public.
When the category is clicked on and it brings up the products, each one has a buynow button, if the buynow button is clicked it brings up The Shopping Cart
Your Shopping Cart is empty and the New Products For November. I was told that the Seo need fixing or removed, I used this fix in the message_stack .

$_POST['msuSaveMessages'] = true;
$_SESSION['messageToStack']= '';

and cleared cache it still doing the same thing. Can this be fixed? I sure don't want to remove my seo. www.currysgiftshop.com

This fix is used for Magic Seo I guess (see msu in there?) Which is why I thought you use Magic SEO

If you use SSU, which version are you using?

Regards

PS: I do see why it doesnt work on your site, the links are missing the product part, Im not sure why it is missing tho, perhaps if we know the version we can see why. I dont recall any version having this problem except perhaps the 3+ testing versions, but Im not 100% sure

Hi Yellow, glad to see you
As i describe, I think that in multilanguages sites SSU for default language(english) must work same when "Set SSU Multi Language Status is false"
It means - english without /EN/ or language/en.
example, site.com/en/ must be strictly site.com
Many times I saw in "whois online tool" that bots coming to pagewith EN and without EN (I think its duplicate content)
You are right about session ID, in "whois online"for bots its empty:

Session ID:
Host: crawl-66-249-70-233.googlebot.com
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)
/en/products_new/disp_order/7/page/10
Sorry for bad english in short:
www.site.com (for default language) and all url like:
www.site.com/product/ not www.site.com/EN/product/
for other languages:
www.site.com/RU/product/
Thank you

Let me break it down into 2 points

1. if anyone,including bots, visits the site, and multi-lang is on and the link doesnt have the language code inside, that person will be redirected to the correct one.

So eventually the bots will start picking up new links, no prob about duplicated content here

2. your point regarding the links with default language should be without the language code is valid tho. But the concept of default language here is a bit tricky, is it gonna the user browser default lang, or the store default lang. if it is the user default lang, then things will get real messy.

Sorry me Yellow, I'm not a programmer at all, but what you can say about it:
if ($_SESSION['languages_code'] == 'ru') {
make url like: www.site.com/RU/products

} else {
for other case make url like: www.site.com/products
}
and ['languages_code'] == 'ru' User can set in admin panel (can be FR,IT etc)
the problem if we have more that 2 languages.

Hi yellow1912

I checked the modules manager it shows Beta 2.8.5. I don't remember what it was. I'm sorry about the fix, I thought it was all the same and would work on the simple seo also.

Hi yellow1912

I checked the modules manager it shows Beta 2.8.5. I don't, i'm sorry I thought it was the same and would work on the simple seo also.

You should upgrade to 2.9.6 by:
download the files, unpack the upload to server.
Go to admin->extras->simple seo url manager. And db patch if needed will be applied

Then clear cache, and see if this new version solves the problem

Interesting point, and I will look into this, But you dont have to worry about duplicated content. Bots should be redirected correctly.

I worry also about main page www.site.com redirect (301)

[yellow1912]

If we dont redirect, then you will have the normal page, and the /en file with the same url. (try magic seo url, it does the same thing in this situation)

However, you may want to keep that page for page rank purpose. But according to many SEO experts (and even from google blog), pagerank is something in the past anyway.

[xordox]

I want this Page Rank.
maybe I need to set alias from www.site.com/en to www.site.com ?
in 3.3.3 you didnt put redirection 301, but was duplicate content ru/ and ru/index
