Friendly URL Does Not Regenerate New URLs after Removing Other Language


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I did not want to confuse clients and have error links by enabling other languages except english. Upon doing so, my URLs was changed from /en/product ID to /product id.

 

However URLs on my website does not update the change and I have now broken links like:

http://www.francescascloset.com/en/4-browse-all-items on my store front here: http://screencast.com/t/uyRNSDHuB6z

 

appreciate any help!

bump, I could do with help on this topic.. after disabling the languages on my presta store it appears to have gone from ".co.uk/en" to ".co.uk" only my CMS links like my conact us link still directs to co.uk/en/contact-us when it should be .co.uk/contact-us, any ideas? Thanks In advance

Thanks! I shall give that a try later on, I have tried regenerating the htaccess file, but haven't deleted the old one as you suggested.

 

as for the steps you have listed, i tried unticking Friendly URL & Disable apache multiviews and then regenerating htaccess, only when I do this all my categories return a 404, it's only when I re enable Friendly URL & Disable apache multiviews does it return to normal..also this didn't actually solve the problem that I was originally trying to rectify.. I shall try these steps again later, but with deleting the old htaccess first.. 

 

 

I will update this post when I know how I've got on & if anyone else knows anything else please feel free to chip in :)

 

Thanks!

Advanced Parameters - Performance - Clear Smarty cache & Autoload cache. Once you do so your HTML source code start to reflect new settings.

 

Also it is highly recommend to put the following to your .htaccess or all your current Google rankings and back-links will be gone:

 

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^en/(.*)$ http://www.francescascloset.com/$1 [R=301,L]
