Dirty Butter Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I want the product urls to be http://storename/custom-product-url. But now that I've upgraded from 4.5 to 5.0.2 on a test site I get this monstrous url: http://dirtybutter.com/test001/plush-animals-dirty-butter-plush-animal-shoppe/applause-and-dakin-plush-animals-dirty-butter-plush-animal-shoppe/applause-brown-bear-sweetheart-bear-holding-red-heart.html I want something like this url: http://dirtybutter.com/test001/applause-brown-bear-sweetheart-bear-holding-red-heart.html This is the actual url on the live site: http://dirtybutter.com/plushcatalog/applause-brown-bear-sweetheart-bear-holding-red-heart/prod_1850.html How can I change the code to leave out the store and category names in v5.0.2??

Dirty Butter Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 I've answered my own question again - The terribly long url only shows up when the store is offline. The exported file is correct, so I put the store live to check it, and the url is short the way it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Now that I've gone live I'm getting the long urls with categories and subcategories as well as the item title! And they do not go away when the store is live. HELP!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWillowStitching Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Now that I've gone live I'm getting the long urls with categories and subcategories as well as the item title! And they do not go away when the store is live. HELP!! Same here, I've had to go in and edit them one at a time for each item like I did to get the pictures to work. Sorry I don't have a better answer. Oh and don't forget to redo your sitemap after the seo changes or you will get a bunch of errors!

Dirty Butter Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 My problem turned out to be caused by titles that were essentially identical, with a word change only at the end (titles were long and the end was not being picked up in the url), or with some that actually were identical. If you create a product listing on a live store, and the seo url is already in use - you get a warning and v5 creates a longer url to protect you from having 2 identical ones. BUT, if you upgrade, these "duplicate" urls are created automatically to be different. I had to do some detective work with the error messages and manually fix the listings that had the long urls.
