♥JcMagpie Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 If you never set this add-on up in your admin then it's not to blame for your issues! I would imagin that in the 2 or 3 times you have installed other seo add-ons you have managed to mess up your redirects. I would recomend restoring your test site from your last known working backup.

Here's a link to the pros and cons by @raiwaThey both work in a BS shop. I don't run multi-language shops so I can't say which is better for that situation. But I think the deciding factor should be if the addon will work with the google sitemap addon, which is a far more important addon. Only Ultimate SEO works with that addon. Changing the code to allow SEO 5 to work with it is on my list of things to do but it's way at the bottom so I don't expect it to be done in the near future.

♥JcMagpie Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Just to clarify. The add-on works fine, the issues were with the self hosted server setup. Once the server issues were sorted out the add-on installed without any issues and works as it should. Now they just need to setup the add-on as they require it.

accesid Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Hi I'm looking for an addon if it exists or a solution to use my own frendly URL. Now we use a rented shop but I want to go back to oscommerce. Now our urls: domain.com/product-uique-name domain.com/other-product-name without any code and .html I know it is easier if seo url tool when you create the url from the product name and put automatically at the end of url p-id000.html or any similar but i don't want this because i don't want 301 redirects to lose the current urls. I would like to enter manually seo url for all each products. Is there a solution to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotclutch Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 opencart generates a lot of duplicate content, can be a real mess to clean up, especially when going back to osCommerce, because some of the parameters are the same, like sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it is possible to still handle incoming old-style URLs (/product-name) alongside your new osC-style URLs (product-name-<code><id> etc.). You could simply 301 redirect them to the new osC-style. If it's more than a few dozen instances, however, it would become a burden to add them to .htaccess as individual redirects. It would be better to do as other stores and CMSs do, and send any URL not recognized as a real path + file to a PHP SEO routine. Internally, it would look up the routine and parameters matching the input name, and send control to the right place (header() call). It could even handle the osC-style SEO in this way, rather than in .htaccess. It's not trivial, but I'm sure it could be done. I don't know if it's possible to show it as a 301 status doing this, but at least your old store's URLs will still work. Come to think of it, Is your request to not 301 (redirect) the old URLs, but simply accept them? That can be done too, whether in .htaccess or in an SEO routine.

Thx. for this advice, I think is a good idea. But I'm afraid... More seo specialist sad this structure (product-name-<code><id>.html) is not a good choise beacause Google don't like this structure. I'm not a seo specialist and I see that many (more and more) pages are really using the other structure (/product-name). Why? Is it really so important in google ranking what kind of structure is in website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opencart generates duplicate content that needs to be handled. I don't pay for this SEO specialist. The shop we are using is not a real opencart shop but an opencart-based rented shop. There's a lot of problems with it. (I was looking for SEO professionals and companies to help us because the prices are good for our products and there are only a few buyers. And they couldn't solve it. But I think we made a big mistake because the products were given a bad name, we named wrong. The ex. "Sku 10W 4500K T65 Light Bulb" and I think when the custommers are looking for the bulb they spell "Light Bulb 10w ... " not invert) Now I want to migrate from the current shop, beacause some times we have a lot of problem with it and seo specialist sad that oscommerce is not a good choice because de url structure. I used oscommerce before 2010 it was good then. I know, SEO has changed a lot since then but oscommerce has also changed. Only with this url structure wasn't everything clean to me.

Hotclutch Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 First of all this person is not an SEO specialist, if they are forwarding this kind of advice. Secondly i have seen this type of situation before with Opencart, and the issue is not the SEO URL. You have to know how to configure Opencart if you are going to use it. Nothing wrong with osCommerce even now SEO wise. The correct thing for you to do would be to switch back to osCommerce and use the SEO URLs that everybody else uses - Chemo's or FWR Media's. But be warned just switching to osCommerce won''t improve your SEO. You're stuck with a mess of URLs from what i know of Opencart, and you need to clean that up.
