razvy Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hi, I have just fresh upgraded my shop from 1.4 to 1.6. In 1.4, the path to product was {category}/{id}-{rewrite}.html Now I want to change the path to {id}-{rewrite}.html The rpoblem is that in google searches my pages are indexed with {category}/{id}-{rewrite}.html How can I catch and redirect the visitors from {category}/{id}-{rewrite}.html to {id}-{rewrite}.html, without risking that Google is thinking iț's similar content and penalise my site? Thank you. Razvy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmithKelvin Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Well, not a tough task to achieve it really. You need to do two things: (i) change the URL structure to the desired and (ii) set a permanent 301 redirect in .htaccess of your website. Once you are done with that, make sure you rebuild the sitemap and submit it to Google via. Google webmaster tools. This would ease you permanently from the worry of duplicacy and penalty.

razvy Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Thanks, it's good to know there is a simple way to do it! Could you please give me more detailed instructions? I'm not very experienced and I don't want to mess with .htaccess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razvy Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 I still can't figure it out... The solution you gave me reffers to an asp page, but how can I do it directly in .htaccess without messing it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
