Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[JaniceNG]

Hi countrycharm,

I am having a problem here. Before I turn on the SSU, my webpage was found with robots.txt and XML sitemap, just like it had reported at http://www.woorank.com/en/www/yourpreciousgifts.com

But after I turned on the SSU, my webpage robots.txt and SML sitemap was reported not existed. Can I know how to rectify this?
What excatly happened after the URL changed and how doest it affect the SERP?

Please help.

Can't seem to find a work around.

I was indexed on google Prior to installing Simple SEO.

After installing Simple SEO google then indexed my new urls.

However the old urls are still there pointing back to the same content.

I cant get google to remove the urls because one they need to return a 404 not found.

Has anyone experienced simplilar duplicate content issues due to simple seo??

Any solutions?

Regards
Phil

Google will delete them, it takes time. Nothing to worry about.

hello, thx for this fantastic contrib. I have few questions about this mod. First of all I wonder if there is any way how to add own product type (for example book product type). Now I am getting urls like this: mysite/product_info_hry/cat/product.

I also have some troubles with specific symbols for czech language. I have moved from pre 3.6 version which has been working fine. I am now on 3.8.3, I eddited cz.php, tried both - classic symbols á, é, even symbols with &amps; and also used different collate for document. I also have made my own config. file but nothing seems to be working. I am running monolangual shop.

Thx in advance for every help!

I want to remove simple SEO but the uninstall sql query is not working.

I'm getting this error:

If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Any advise?

Thanks

Found the missing file : includes/classes/ri_template.php.

It was in de Module Manager, which should also be updated.

For those who also wondered.

Hello,

I've been digging for several hours in this thread, but still didn't find answer to my question.

I've mistakingly removed ultimate SEO after installing SSU.
This screwed up my DB, and now when I try to access SSU manager in the admin, i get :

1146 Table 'min0909312084682.configuration' doesn't exist
in:
[INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('File extension', 'SSU_FILE_EXTENSION', '', 'Set the file extension you want (without the dot). Recommend: leave it blank. For more info please read the docs', @t4, 1, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, NULL), ('Name delimiter', 'SSU_NAME_DELIMITER', '-', 'Set delimiter to replace all non alpha-numeric characters in product/category names', @t4, 1, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'-\', \'.\'),'), ('ID delimiter', 'SSU_ID_DELIMITER', '-', 'Set delimiter separate product/category names and their ids', @t4, 1, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'-\', \'.\'),');]

Seems that my _zen prefix for tables is not picked up. How can I fix this ?

It's ZC 1.3.8, with module manager. Hosted on godaddy.

Ok, the correct code to uninstall should be:

SET @t4=0;
SELECT (@t4:=configuration_group_id) as t4
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Simple SEO URL';
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DROP TABLE 5.1/en/control-flow-functions.html">IF EXISTS links_aliases;

Do you have this at the top of your robots.txt?
User-agent: *
Allow: /
Sitemap: http://www.your.com/sitemapindex.xml

Do you have SitemapXML (formerly "Google Sitemap") installed, if so have you updated your map. In admin/configuration/Sitemap XML under Use Existing Files have you set that to false so it will update your map each time you add products? This would be the only thing that would cause that. Once Simple Seo is installed Google will start deleting the old urls you had before you installed seo.

Hi, can I know where can I find the robots.txt? Where is it located?

No, I havent installed SitemapXML. Is it compulsory to install it so that it could work with SSU?
