VicAvendano:

I noticed the latest version has had a problem processing "+" within url query parameters... Some people have had a problem with store searches with multiple words, and adding the advanced_search to the exclude list helped.

My problem now is I had a + within parameters used for tracking purposes, and this triggers an infinite redirect loop. Hopefully I can figure out how to fix this or a new version will be released soon...

I don't know what you've been reading but I don't even know exactly what problem you are having as you haven't given enough information?

How do you remove the Simple SEO Url completely off of Zen Cart.

Thanks

You uninstall it just like you installed it. Remove all the files that Simple Seo installed. Just make sure you put back the includes/functions/html_output.php file to it's ordinal state. Undo your .htaccess file.
Then run the uninstall code you need to do so in admin/tools/install_sql_patches.

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;

hi, i have a straneg issue that another member on this site found for me.

Basically the site runs fine, but, if i add the attribute to enable an upload of an image then seo urls stops this working.

Any ideas on what the bug is that could be causing this conflict?

I installed this mod some months ago so is it an old bug that has been fixed with an update etc that i need to do?

thanks,
Dave

ok simple seo urls doesnt work at all with the attribute upload.
to get it to work i had to instal ultimate seo urls instead.

I'm not sure if I'm confused, I've done something wrong, or this is working and I just don't know it, SSL and http vs https is my question
Here's the site:
https://www.swiftperformanceautomotive.com

With Ultimate SEO turned on this is what happens:

If I hover over "Login" I can see the https:// in the preview area for my curser, but if I click on it, the page is displayed as http:// in that address bar, and all the pages that should be https work in the same manner after I log in.

With Ultimate SEO turned off I get this:

Whenever I click on a page that should be https:// it works, and https is displayed in the address bar, and it stays that way throughout the checkout process.

Is this what's supposed to happen?
Did I f something up?
The only change that I made that may have done it is in the bottom of the SEO URL's control panel, I got rid of the "rewrite pages line". I had copied them to a notepad file, but didn't save it, and one of my techs used the computer and the file got closed without saving it. Could that list of pages cause my problem? If so, can someone give me the string that was in there? I can't find it in the install files, not sure which one it is in.

I'm sure this all sounds jumbled, I'm lost, but think that the more info the better on these forums.

Number 1 you are in the wrong thread for Ultimate SEO. This is Simple Seo thread. You need to go here to ask the question.

Wow, that's embarrassing. Sorry about that, I was browsing through this thread, and had the other thread open in another window, and started typing in the wrong place. Sorry about that folks!

First, I'd like to think those who help create Simple SEO... this is a such good module.

Everything is fine and proper working until today when I used Mail Chimp newsletter.

Basically. I embedded several products links in the Mail Chimp Newsletter and did a test mail sent to my personal email. When I click the links in the mail, none of links are working. Instead, I receive the message from FireFox

" The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

*   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies. "

Just wondering if any of you have encountered the similar issues like this. Please help. Thank you.

Please help me if you know the solution. Thank you.

Never Mind... I figured it out. It's not simple seo's problem...

Awesome mod! Wasn't sure whether to add it or not, since my site is already live, but it installed no problems.

Only question I have is for my featured products it comes up as mysite/-c-0/product name, which I think is going to throw up some duplicate content flags since the same page will be at mysite/category/product name...

The more I think about it though, may be totally unrelated to simple seo. Don't think the category shows up in product page when you click the link from the featured box. Awesome mod tho! I can't wait to see if there is any increase in search ranks. You can check it out at: www.cheaperbyfar.com

Thanks again, Will

Hi
Simple question... does this work on version 1.3.9h?

I have this installed on my 1.3.8a works perfectly with lots of pages indexed i am trying to upgrade to 1.3.9h ... i need this to work because i need to keep all the page names the same (as they are google indexed)

Thanks

Yes it will work with the current version of zen cart. Download the current version of simple seo. If you are using the current version of simple seo 3.8.8 it doesn not cache half as many files that it use to. You can download it from his site here. Yes I'm afraid module manger is required to use this module.

I have the same exact problem. I had to use a URL shrinker like Hootlet to actually get any newsletter links to actually work. It would not take the SSU version.

I've noticed with SSU that the URL for the 1st page in a category shows the clean URL Alias but if I go to pages 2, 3, 4, etc it doesn't show the Alias. I've even tried going into the Alias manager and taking the old URL and tried to created a new Alias and it still didn't take. Could it be a setting within my SSU Admin?

Here's an example:
First page in category: http://www.a n d r e a b o n e l l i.com/earrings
Second page in same category: http://www.a n d r e a b o n e l l i.com/earrings?sort=20a&page=2

I tried to change the URL in the Alias manager to show:
/earrings-page-2/

and this didn't take..

What could I do to change all of the extra pages in all of my categories to show a new Alias? :(

Hi,

Not sure what newsletter platform you use and I'm using Mail Chimp.

If you use Mail Chimp as your newsletter mailer, be sure not to have ' google analytic ' checked and it should be okay...

Anyway... just thought if you might be interested in knowing how I got links worked with newsletter.

I still cannot find a fix for this...

Is anyone else getting broken page links after following the Ultimate SEO urls installation instructions? I followed them except for:

3. A sample .htaccess file is included. Simply rename to .htaccess and edit the word /shop/ to match your site

Not doing this step as i didn't understand it, would this be the reason the categories links don't work anymore.
