Diemux Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Hi guys, I have searched around but couldn't find an answer for this (except the one about removing all langauges but one). Our shop was in one language and thus indexed without the /nl/ prefix in the URL. Now we are going internationally so we added English. With the result that all URL's are now with /nl/ or /en/ I don't want to loose our ranking in Google so I want to have the /nl/ removed as that is our default language.. The /en is fine. Is that possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedepot Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I have never seen any free module for this kind of request. I don't think you will loose your current rankings. After you have changed, you would need to generate a new sitemap in your Prestashop. Then make sure you notify Google by submitting you new sitemap. There are plenty paid modules out there if you still want to remove the language from the url, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKSE Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hey, How did you solve this?We are facing the same thing going from one language only to two, adding /xx/ to the urls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataKick Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 you do not need to actually solve this. Prestashop automatically redirects old urls without language to new one using http 302: Moved response code. Your link will still continue to work, and search engines will soon catch up as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diemux Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hi Datakick, Sounds good, is this also the case with v1.6.x.x? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataKick Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hi Datakick, Sounds good, is this also the case with v1.6.x.x? it should, I've tested it on 1.6.1.4 You can test it yourself - just enter your old urls to http://redirectcheck.com/index.php and see the redirection flow. If there's 301/302 response code, everything should be just fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
