Set canonical url in greek

Hi,

Remove the text in the "SEF product name" setting and that will remove the "product" part.
Turn on the "remove category and product ids from URLs and that will remove the 1- part.
Then, remove the product alias and make sure that you activate the unicode SEF setting of your Joomla configuration and the SEF system will use the product name with the greek letters and you'll get the result you want.

If you have a canonical URL in your products, you might still get the old URLs after the change, so you would have to also remove the canonical URL entered in the products.

Hi,

We can have a look yes, but it definitely comes from the alias of your products.
Make sure that the alias you have in the product correspond to the alias in the URL or it won't work.
If you don't find the problem, please provide a precise example of the problem with the necessary links and access so that we can check it.
I went to your website but everything is in Greek, I don't speak Greek and can't read it, and I didn't find any listing of products or categories.

Hi,

The latin letters are generated automatically out of the greek product name by the Joomla SEF system when the "unicode alias" setting is turned off in the Joomla configuration.
But I don't see any change in the URLs when I change that setting, even for the menu items aliases, like if you had some cache on the SEF URLs, or the pages. I wasn't able to determine where that was coming from. But the settings in your website are correct regarding the alias/SEF as far as I can see.

Hi,

Yes, Set the URL with the greek letters instead of the transliterated ones and put the same letters in the alias of the product (so that when the link is clicked on, the SEF system will be able to match the text in the URL with the alias of the product).
If the "force canonical URLs on listings" setting is activated, the system will use the canonical URL instead of generating dynamically the URL.
If you don't see a change when you do that, it will only confirm that there is some caching of the URLs somewhere on your website.

Hi,

No, having canonical URLs is not a problem when moving the website because you only enter the relative URL.
So you would enter for example: /κοινοχρηστα-εκδοση-κοινοχρηστων/product-name
Did you also enter the alias in the product ?
Can you give the link that it generated on the frontend on the listing ? Can you give a link to the listing where that link is so that we can see the problem ?

Hi,

I didn't change anything on your website.

The system can work without the id in the URL as long as the alias in the URL correspond to the alias in the product. If there is a difference, it will say "product not found". When you have the product id in the URL, you can actually have the text you want after it regardless of the alias or the name of the product. The system will only rely on the product id in the URL to load the product. That's why you don't get the error with the id in it.
