Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[Zean]

Eureka!

Its-a-working!

Thank you, thank you. Thank you all very much. I would like to thank the members of the academy . . .

Any guesses as to why I can't get rid of the category and product id codes from the urls, even though I have set:

SSU Status = True; I believe this is the on/off switch
Set Link Alias Status = True; I believe this must be on for auto alias to work
Set Auto Alias Status = True; I believe this is suppose to rid the url's of their category and product id codes

Answer: I reset the cache:
admin > Extras > Simple SEO URL > Cache Functions > Reset All Cache
and that got rid of the id codes.

Thanks for the good news Zean.

I would like to announce that there is a new version of SSU ready for testing, this new version has only 1 goal: reduce the number of cache files.

If it is working well (it is being tested on our side here) then it will help those huge stores out there to greatly reduce the number of cache files (several times). You will see less improvement on small sites though (well, on small sites you dont have that many cache files anyway)

I will post a link to the test version soon so you guys can try it out. CAUTION: never try a test version on live store, only on test stores.

I have been trying to install Simple SEO URLs and am almost there, but I do have some problems.

I have v3.5.8
I have ZC v1.3.8

1. When I go to Simple SEO URL Manager under Extras in my Admin, it goes to the homepage of my store (e.g. www.store.com/adminXXX/ssu.php

2. Also when I click on a category from my homepage, the url is made seo friendly, but all that happens is the home page is reloaded, it does NOT go to the category page.

3. This same issue (#2) goes for any link on the homepage. The URLs are transformed, but the page does not go to the landing page of the link, it simple reloads the homepage of the site.

Any ideas?

First thing is to update your version to the latest version which is 3.7.1. You can download from their web site eazy-templates.com
After that if you still are having the same problems we will be glade to help.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Maybe I am wrong, but I thought v3.7.1 was a test version. Is 3.7.1 ready for a live store?

Thanks.

Thanks.

if you can download it from the link posted above, then it means it's for live store. No test version is posted there

Hi Raine:

Ok, I went to my admin and in Module Manager, I clicked update next to v3.5.7 for SSU. And it seemed nothing happened. So I click on "List All Modules" and it still showed v3.5.7?

Help, what am I doing wrong here!

I checked your site from your signature and it seems that you have Simple SEO URL working quite nicely! How did you do it??? I am having some issues, can you help me, please?

Also, it seems you also have another addon working well that I am also trying to install; captch-number-subject-in-1 1.0, correct?
The problem I am having is first, the CAPTCH does not show up anywhere and 2nd when I click on my 'Contact Us' page its totally blank! Ouch. Do you know what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance.

Disregard above post!

Hi,

I just installed SSU and started working on ZenCart today (for the first time ever!) and I am having a similar problem to autorace with my .htaccess file (can't find info on it in the FAQ - maybe I am not looking for the right thing?). The ssu_check.php file keeps telling me:

((Warning icon))Checking includes/configure.php
((Warning icon))Suggested .htaccess content
((Success icon)) #### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
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
Warning Checking cache write permission

My .htaccess file is exactly the same as that, but I keep getting the error. I don't know where the site is being hosted (I saw the message about godaddy caching the .htaccess file) - I am hoping the problem is as simple as that.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks.
P.S. I am using the latest versions
