[SOLVED] Some products have wrong rewrites links in 1.5.3.1

[Rhobur]

Hi,

I have discovered a few products which have wrong URL's like http://www.caprice-s...r-ger20207.html instead of http://www.caprice-s...r-ger20207.html like all the other products in this category have.

The same issue with other categories too.

I cannot figure it out! How does the majority of the products in the category have correct URL but a few of them don't ?

Regards,

 

EDIT: I have set the home category having the id = 1 to non active. Now I get error 302 moved temporarely.

It must be something with the URL construction by the 1.5.3.1 version.

Apparently more and more products appear with /home/ instead of their normal category. I have checked the DB tables containing the association product->category and for the above example the association is correct with the /gerstner/ id not the /home/ id as it appears in the rewritten URL!!

 

EDIT 2: This is crazy! More and more URL's are daily rewritten with home/ category instead of their normal category!!

They all are slowly rewritten to domain.com/home/product.html instead of domain.com/real_category/product.html

Is my Prestashop set on auto destruct ?

 

EDIT 3 : looking into ps_product I have found that somehow during upgrade some products id_category_default has been changed from 29 to 1 (which is home's id). I have corrected it and now I wonder how could I force the URL to be correctly re written since I don't have yet access to the BO !

 

SOLVED: I have addressed this issue by setting where needed the default category to the same one as the product was associated. In my old 1.4.8.2 version a lot of products were besides their own categories set in home too in order to be displayed randomly in homefeatured module.

Apparently this is not the same in 1.5.3.1
