problems with friendly SEO & URLs

[davidly]

hi friends,


don't whether you have encounter the similar problem when you turn on Friendly URL at prestashop:

I am using the current Version of prestashop 1.4.1.0. When the Friendly URL is turned on, the category and product display is fine, for example, http://www.example.com/product.php?id_product=1 to http://www.example.com/music-ipods/1-ipod-nano.html.

however, this is not the case for some other URLs such as my-account.php: a URL before friendly url is http://www.example.com/my-account.php, and after it is turned on, the URL became: http://www.example.com/my-account, but the page is a 404 error.

The same issue goes to http://www.example.com/new-products, http://www.example.com/prices-drop, etc, they all show a 404 error.

Can anybody help please?

thanks!

Hi Davidly,

Did you ever get this issue fixed? It's occurring in my site too. I'm using version 1.4.1

Hi Fellaz!

Maybe you did not set the next thing

Go to settings tab in the admin and see the "Meta-tags" submenu!!!

Hi fitgura,

Thanks for your reply. As far as I can tell everything is properly set. Please see image attachment. Am I missing anything?

Regards.

If evrything is filled correctly then you should see your .htaccess file!

See my for example:

you must find your revrited rules like this

RewriteRule ^new-product$ /new-products.php [QSA,L]

[guysmiley43]

Here's how my htaccess file looks like. I didn't change anything from what the system generated. What I find weird is it seems to work fine for password-recovery, contact-us, manufacturers, but doesn't for new-products, my-account, best-sales, etc. For some links, I already removed the friendly url just to get it to work but it'd be better to get to the bottom of things.

Thanks for your inputs.

As I see your shop installed in the yourdomain.com/shop/ folder


You should enable and set up the module name canonical url to www.yoursite.com/shop
