Hi, Yellow,

Maybe we can delete "C-1_2" by editing alias link through Admin,
but have to adit one by one, so it is unworkable if have thoudsands of products.

Meanwhile, do ou think it is better to omit the 2nd level category "BBBB-c-1_2/" in all product url
such as:
change https://www.example.com/BBBB-c-1_2/productname
to
https://www.example.com/productname
or
https://www.example.com/BBBB/productname
how to solve this problem?
many thanks.:dontgetit

hi, yellow,

Are you there?

im trying to add a 301 redirect from non-www to www by using this code (entire .htaccess file including SSU stuff);

#### 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,L]
#### EOF SSU

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
```when i use this code, all the links get messed up (links to products) and i cant get into admin.. any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Go to your store admin/configuration and cut off simple seo, clear your cache. Make sure your .htaccess look like this. Is zen cart in the root folder if so, change to: RewriteBase /  If zen cart is in another folder then you will have to make it look like this RewriteBase / Your custom folder name

Go back to your store admin/configurations/simple seo cut it back on and see what happens.

hi, yellow,

Are you there?

hello, countrycharm,

could you please advise your solution to this problem? thanks.:cool:

It is recommended to get a newer version if you want auto alias. get it from my signature link.

Yellow can you see if their is a solution to this problem before you call it a weekend. Thank you very much. This comes from page 320

Since the author already disable it on his site im quite unsure what happens. My best guess is that something went wrong with the htaccess, again I can be wrong.

PS: your google xml should be correct now

Thank you for fixing that. It's kind of slow now, but I guess I can live with that. I have the same problem as the other guy had. If you go to my site in my signature you can click on a category then click another one and go back to the one you click the first time and the page will be without any formatting like it lost all of its css.

Turn off gzip for now, seems like the page content is messed up.

hi,
thanks for the help but same thing unfortunately, cant get into admin for some odd reason> countrycharm:

What module have you installed recently that can interfere with content? I know SSU cant do that for sure.

I don't have it on in my store. I have this in my .ini file

zlib.output_compression_level = -6
but I took that out to see what it would do but i'm getting the same thing.

if that was for me, nothing, just this 301 redirect in htaccess seems be setup wrong, i took it from your suggestion to someone else earlier on in this thread.. for me its not working properly

I had installed the automatic_banner_adverts__export_your_products_to_our_advertising_system_1-1 but that does not over write any files. I didn't like it and got rid of it today. My site was doing that before I installed this. Also I installed the simple_create_orders module. Thats it.

No I was talking to countrycharm, sorry for the confustion. Can you post your problem or link to it again?

@Countrycharm: Seem like it appears like that only on a 2nd load of a page, so for example if i load http://www.thegoodshepherdstore.com/great-gifts-under-20 once it works okie, and then when i refresh i see only code. And it only happens on category pages. I have turned off ssu for checking and it's still the same, so the problem is not there

PS: seem like because there are 2 level of gzip (by server and by simple-cache), I turned off simple cache gzip and it works for you now. I cannot replicate the other problem tho.

when i try to setup the 301 redirect from non-www to www on our store, it messes up the links on the site as well as does not let us login to admin (just refreshes the page, does not login).. what can we do to fix it, i assume the 301 redirect somehow interferes with the ssu module.. i used the 301 redirect code that was posted by you earlier on for someone else..> yellow1912:

Post your whole htaccess content here

As you can see I move the 301 redirection up

tried that, tried again, same thing..
admin doesnt work (maybe has something to do with redirecting in the admin directory?)

also, wanted to clear the cache etc but cant get into admin to see if the links would still work in the navigation for products
