1.5.3.1 - 1.5.6.1 different redirect

[gigant09]

Hi,

 

Shop 1: Prestashop 1.5.3.1: URL looks like: www.shop.com/category/id-product.html

-> I can also use link like www.shop.com/id-product.html to get to the product

-> Route to products: {id}-{rewrite}.html

 

 

Shop 2: Prestashop 1.5.6.1: URL looks like: www.shop.com/id-product.html

-> I can't use link like www.shop.com/category/id-product.html to get to the product

-> Route to products: {id}-{rewrite}.html

 

All id's of products or categories are same. If I change the route to products in shop 2 to: {category}/{id}-{rewrite}.html it shows the link with category but can't use this link anymore: www.shop.com/id-product.html

 

Whats wrong? Any ideas?

you can check the .htaccess in both and check the diference.

also, you can add rules so the link: www.shop.com/id-product.html works in shop 2. I'm not an expert in programming the htaccess file, but try comparing both.

I've checked htaccess file, there's no difference and I even tried to copy some code snippets which I couldn't find in htaccess file from my new store.

 

I added a redirect:

redirectMatch 301 ^/category/id-product.html$ http://www.shop.com/id-product.html

and sure it works with a 301 redirect but is it necessary to do that for all product urls?

 

I've checked link.php and there are some differents but I'm not a expert....
