Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[swamyg1]

Actually the alias is working fine, sorry if I gave wrong information. Do you think permanent redirect 301's would work fine (as in, not distrupt my indexed pages) for all of the urls? I'm just looking for an opinion if there's any risk involved. I'd like to have prettier urls without the extension in the long run anyway.

Thanks for your help on this:)

Yes, 301 redirection works. But it may take some time, i think it's a case by case thing. Some people reports drop of SE rank within weeks or even months, which eventually comes back up later. Some have it work right away.

Hello all,
I have installed the Simple Seo mod and when I click on a product page I get the "Page Not Found" error, only the index page is working. http://www.j w b o o k s.o r g/watchtower-magazines-leatherette-reprints-c-151

I am getting nice product URL iin the address bar just no return page from the server.

I believe it may be because the htaccess file is not written correctly but the doc's are a little difficult to understand if you do not know programming.

Can anyone help?

More than likely you have the htaccess set incorrectly. For you site, try to use RewriteBase /

Thank you for the help!!!

Should the file look like this?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^productid([^.]+).*$ yourscript.php?id=$1 [T=application/x-httpd-php]


Also, does it still take GoDaddy awhile to implement the .htaccess?

here is what I get with the "/" entered:

http://www.j w b o o k s.o r g/russell-rutherford-studies-in-the-scriptures-c-56?zenid=63v3sgcehss6oldlo8q65plpi4

Doen't seem right?:

If you mean the zenid, yes it should be there.

Are you hosting on GoDaddy? Change to htaccess on godaddy may take hours to work.

Here is the complete .htaccess file:
Does it appear to be correct? If so then I will wait ac ouple of hours for GoDaddy to catch up. They make it difficult to test this by making the change so slowly.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase "/"
RewriteRule ^productid([^.]+).*$ index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=$1 [T=application/x-httpd-php]


Thank you so much for the help!!!

Here is the current URL on a product page:

Why do you have it like this? It's nothing like what SSU needs. Did you check the .htaccess goes with the module?

I believe this was in a page from a link in the notes somewhere so I copied it and made the changes. It would seem from yoour reply that the original .htaccess file should be the one to modify so I will do it and check the results..

Sorry for the confusion.
