Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[skylab001]

ok, I guess I should have looked closer, so after reading the last few post I realized that I change

Rewritebase /zencart/
to Rewritebase /

in the .htaccess file, and great no more error!

But now when you click on a category the only thing that happens is that the page refreshes, but I don't get anything other than the home page. The web address changes, but nothing else....Ideas?

If this happens, this usually means that your webserver is not supporting or not having mod_rewrite enabled. This is something you will have to check with your host.

Gang -

is there a way to modify a particular URL similar to what you can do in WordPress when you write a post?

I looked all over the Simple SEO settings in my ZenCart but wasn't able to find anything relevant.

thanks!

Alias Manager is what you need, go to extras->ssu manager.

I checked with the host and it seems mod_rewrite is enabled, any other ideas?

Post the url to your site.
Post the location of your htaccess
Post the content of your htaccess

You can pm me if you want.

Thanks Yellow! Quick SEO wisdom question. Do you think Google favors aliases to be Permanent or not in terms of ranking?

thanks a ton!

Note that these alias are now your real links. Those old links are now redirected to the new ones. So in any case, avoid changing links unless you really have to.

I've upgraded my sites PHP to PHP5 and I still can't seem to get things to work correctly. When I click in Extras->Simple SEO URL Manager I just get a blank page. I've tried re-uploading everything and following the installation steps again but nothing.

I can now get the ssu_check.php to load up and here is what it says:

Checking includes/configure.php
Suggested .htaccess content
#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /buy/

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA]

#### EOF SSU
Checking cache write permission

Not sure what this means, but any ideas?

[yellow1912]

It means you are supposed to put this in htaccess file

#### BOF SSU 
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews 
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteBase /buy/ 

# Deny access from .htaccess 
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F] 

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA] 

#### EOF SSU

For the blank page problem, you have to follow this guideline: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=82
