2 problems, one with URL, another with hiding text on page

Hello,
I've updated from 1.39 to 1.51. (My kid did it... )
I have 2 problems:
At the address bar, it appears an additional information regarding page or chapter. How I make it disappearing?
An example:
http://www.petrutech.com/special-crystal-controlled-c-5/
The "c-5" is not supposed to be shown as far as I understand, is there any way to fix it?
The second problem appears on the ez pages:
http://www.petrutech.com/discounts-ezp-27.html
On the page, it appears above the content:
"Table of Contents

 - About Us"

I've checked it, it is connected to "h2" - and I wish to "vanish" it.

Thank you for assistance!!!

That "extra" information is required to let Zen Cart know which category, product, or ezpage to display. So it is not an "error", "bug", or "issue".

I'm going to "guess" you have an alternative URL generation tool installed ("out of box" Zen Cart does not add the "title" and uses longer "query terms" in URLs). Probably one of:

• "Ultimate (SEO) URLs". If installed, read more in the official support thread.
• "Simple SEO". If installed, read more in the official support thread.

Alternatively you can look into "CEON URI Mapper" (can remove all the information from the URLs), read more in the official support thread.

Most likely you have the EZ-Page configured to show a "Table of Contents". This can be changed by going into your Zen Cart administrative interface and navigating to "Tools" --> "EZ-pages". Once on the admin page, you can disable or enable showing a "Table of Contents".

Thank you very much for your assistance, the second problem was solved quickly no problems with it anymore.
The first "problem" is still unsolved.

As far as I know, these programs were never been installed. I don't know how to check it, but at the previous 1.39 I am almost sure we haven't installed any of them. Is there any way to check if they are installed?
Thanks again!

The URLs you describe are not stock Zencart URLs, so some 'SEO' mods must have been installed. I haven't used any of these, so I don't know which you have installed, but one of them should be listed somewhere in admin.

I am not using any external software and never installed any plug-in for SEO on the new installed version (1.51).
I don't know if at a link as http://www.petrutech.com/special-crystal-controlled-c-5/set-uhf-vox9-transmitter-bug-uhf-receiver-p-63.html , the "p-63" may have any influence on SEO, but it certainly doesn't look OK to me. At least, I haven't seen it on any website, so I assume it has an internal fix...
I downloaded yesterday the CEON URI Mapper, as lhungil suggested me to do it, however I am afraid installing it, as I really don't have too much knowledge and experience doing it. As my kid won't be able to do it for me this month (being abroad), I wonder if anyone may help me with this issue.
Thanks in advance! :smartalec:

Glad to try to help, but you do indeed have some sort of URL re-writer installed, even if it's just an .htaccess file. That URL, with the .html extension, cannot be created by an unaltered Zencart installation.

I have installed on second PC "EditPlus 3" and as far as I know, it can handle the .htaccess file.
The main question is: if I make any change on this file (making a backup of the original), may be restored in case I do something wrong...

Stevesh is correct:
You have a Zen Cart "plugin" / "modification" installed which changes the generated URLs. We cannot tell you which one is installed based only on the URLs as there are numerous OPENSOURCE and COMMERCIAL "plugins" for Zen Cart which generate very similar URLs. What we can tell you is: One was installed and what you are reporting as an "problem" is not a problem with the module, but the module generating URLs EXACTLY as it was designed to generate them.

You stated the site was upgraded to Zen Cart 1.5.x from an older version. You stated you had someone (your kid), upgrade the site... Do you know if the site was actually "re-built from scratch (with database upgrade)" or if the site was simply "upgraded" by slapping / merging in the Zen Cart 1.5.x files (and running the database upgrade)? Do you know what "plugins" / "modifications" were installed by the person doing the upgrade (your kid)?

Plugins and Zen Cart:
Plugins in Zen Cart are essentially a collection of new files, database entries, and modifications to core Zen Cart files. There is no "plugin management" page at this time where you can go to see what "plugins" / "modifications" have been installed.

This means one needs to keep accurate, detailed, and up to date change logs (when installing, upgrading, touching any files, changing the database, etc) in order to know what "plugins" and "modifications" have been installed.

If one has not done this, one can attempt to download a "clean" copy of Zen Cart from this website and then manually compare each and every file on their website against the "clean" copy to determine what has been changed. Of course one needs to have at least a basic understanding of PHP / programming and also how to use file comparison tools...

HINT: Many of the older "plugins" for generating alternative URLs utilized additional PHP class files (in "/includes/classes").

Some advice:
It may not be a bad idea to wait for the person who upgraded your site (your kid) to be available... Or you could possibly someone willing to work for compensation (to help you with a site you generate revenue from)... Both should be able to help you determine which "plugin" / "modification" was installed in your store.

Once you know which "plugin" / "modification" is installed, then you can look into removing it (because you do not like seeing the anchors / parameters at the end of the URLs). Once removed you will see the "stock" Zen Cart URLs (with more parameters in the URLs - compared to your current site).

You can then look into installing something else (such as CEON URI Mapping) which allows you to specify URLs without anchors / parameters at the end of the URLs. Be aware, if you want the URLs to automatically generate with titles - with CEON URI Mapping, you may need to purchase an additional COMMERCIAL module.

Do not leave "backup" copies of files on the "live" website (this can cause problems and clutter the site). It would be best to first make a "copy" of the store (files and database) and then make / test changes against the copy first.
