Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[kettlewell]

The issue is that link juice and authority will not pass a double redirect and Google will not follow them either.

Side note:
Google (and others) are now following a new canonicalization tag that will help with situations like this. (trailing slash vs no trailing slash, etc)

Sitemap question -

If it's been answered elsewhere, please redirect me - I couldn't find the answer, the thread is too long :)

I'm using SSU 3.6.0 and google sitemap 1.3

My problem is this -

my links on page show as this:

/lingerie/body-suits-lingerie/hot-suspender-bodysuit-with-matching-bra-top-p-653

but my links in my sitemap are showing as this:

/-c-0/hot-suspender-bodysuit-with-matching-bra-top-p-653

How do I get my Sitemap to have the structure that is on page?


Matt

I just realized that my search results are producing the same results as what is getting placed in the sitemaps -

so instead of my really pretty URL's, visitors are looking at

/-c-0/hot-suspender-bodysuit-with-matching-bra-top-p-653

Matt, clear all cache and also alias cache and see if it helps. Maybe your browser cache as well...

[kettlewell]

No such luck! :)

I run a plugin that disables browser cache (just for this reason), and I've cleared out the SSU cache -

But still the same result.

based on your reply, I'm guessing that it should not be doing what I'm seeing?

Very weird indeed, but i would recommend upgrading to 3.6.4 the clear cache to see if that solves the problem for you. If not please let me know.

i did a test, go to /includes/classes/ssu/cores/language.php , find

function removeNonAlphaNumeric($name, $name_delimiter){
return preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/", $name_delimiter, $name);

add
$name = str_replace("b","e", $name);

then i check the url, all the letters "b" replaced by "e".

but if i add
$name = str_replace("é","e", $name);

the character "é" still showing as "-"

In the snippet above have you tried using the proper ampersand for the é..... The ampersand is as follows

é

OK... I upgraded to 3.6.4 - and am getting the same results

I found an error in the logs, but I don't think they are the problem directly, but maybe

The error I'm seeing is something like:

client denied by server configuration: httpdocs/admin/includes/templates/css/themes/steel/images/index.php, referer: http://www.domain.com/admin/includes...steel/grid.css

there doesn't appear to be an index.php file in the upload... I get this when I click the link "Manage Aliases" I get a header, but no way to do anything with it...


Any thoughts on if the two are related? or if there is something else I should be checking?

[yellow1912]

Yes, somehow the grid doesnt work on your server, just my wild guess but it could me files uploaded to the wrong place or wrong file permission setting. If you want I can peek in the server for you to checkout what's going on, PM me.

@kettlewell

It seems like you used Easy Populate to import the products, and it somehow failed to set the correct category - product relationship, all I did was
1. go to /admin/store_manager.php and Reset ALL Products Master Categories ID
2. Clear SSU cache

For the problem with link alias manager not displaying any link, problem was that your php version does not support json_encode AND there was a bug in the json_encode alternative that comes with SSU

Also, I notice there is a caching problem, not all items are properly cached, I have updated cache class to ssu 3.6.5 which have this bug fixed for you. Now you have to delete all cache folders and we will see if things work out correct for you.

Wow - Hats off to you!

The problem is fixed and the time you spent researching and debugging was very much appreciated.


I highly recommend Yellow1912's to anyone that needs ecommerce/design work done. If his Open Source skills are this good, I can only imagine what his paid skills are like. Please consider his services when looking in the future.

He saved me - he can save you too!

Thanks a ton, Yellow1912! I know I'll be thinking of you for future projects.
