noesac Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I just realised that I accidentally set every product I have to the default category of "Home". It's been like this for over a year now!!I need to change it back to the proper category so that I can run some SEO modules that I bought...however will changing the default category cause me problems with SEO? I'm worried that it will undo a lot of my hard work...Also...does anyone know if changing the Friendly URL is risky? Will there be an SEO impact?

adibranch Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 dont worry.. just change your products.. although you have them in 'home', this doesnt really mean anything as home in itself is not a category page. As long as you have them in your main catgegories, you can ssafely delete them from home.As for changing category/product names (or the friendly url as you put it), yes its a problem and shouldn't be done on a regular basis. But, as long as you 301 them to the new categories, you will be fine. Or, just install Magic SEO or this mod...http://www.presto-changeo.com/prestashop-modules/25-duplicate-url-redirect.htmlwhich will do it automatically.

anson.c Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I'm in the same case which I found I initially set lot of products at "home" as their default category. I'm pretty sure I have set their subcategories but just not as default tho.I want to reverse them so that their default categories will be shown as where exact they are in subcategories. Is there any way I can do it?I want to do that so I can fill their meta info accordingly.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot of work but I'm always afraid of running a script to make such a core change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
