Dear Yellow,

Thanks for your quick answer.

Yes, i have enbled auto alia through Admin--configurition

The auto-generate url is like this:
www.example.com/BBBB-c-1_2/productname
How to change www.example.com/BBBB-c-1_2/productname
to
www.example.com/productname(that is to delete level 2 category name)
or
www.example.com/BBBB/productname(that is to delete category id of level 2 category name)

Many appreciated for your further suggestion. thanks.

You will have to change the category level limit to 1 first, then you will have to clear cache. Every time you change setting you have to clear cache via Extras->SSU manager

SSU auto alias is not working on your site, because with alias on you cant have that type of link.

You may want to clear your alias database via phpmyadmin, and then make sure you clear up ssu cache. You should see xyz files removed when you click on clearing ssu cache. And im not talking about your browser cache btw.

Huhm, after rechecking, here is the problem:

See black-white-wooden-hanger-c-66_73? I bet you have more than 1 cat/product with this name black-white-wooden-hanger, in these cases ssu can only remove the identifier from 1 of those because otherwise it will get all confused and your links all pointing to the wrong location.

If you want, you can manually set alias for these special categories via alias manager, but you MUST make sure you give each cat a unique alias such as black-white-wooden-hanger-blah, and black-white-wooden-hanger-bluh,......

And then clear cache,

hi, yellow,

sorry, there is only 1 category named "black-white-wooden-hanger"

this is very strange.

of course, i can manully adit eahc url by alia manager, but it is time-waste if have thousands of products.
please help!

hi, yellow,

it is so strange.

when cleared, it do shows that "149 file(s) removed. "

but why my alias did not working? following is my .htaccess

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "zencart" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase / 
RewriteBase /

# 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

what problely the problem is, and how to solve this?
btw, how to clear alias database via phpmyadmin(i know how to login into phpmyadmin, but do not know which file i should to clear)

thanks.
