Thank you")* Hi, Yes, it's quite easy to change. Change the line: Code: $xml .= "\t".'<g:link><![CDATA[ '.hikashop_cleanURL($product->product_canonical).' ]]></g:link>'."\n"; to: Code: $xml .= "\t".'<g:link><![CDATA[ '.str_replace('/administrator/','/',hikashop_cleanURL($product->product_canonical)).' ]]></g:link>'."\n"; in the file plugins/hikashop/google_products/google_products.php and that will add the fix.

Thank you")* Thank you Nicolas, My main problem is with the product urls when I use canonical urls As we discussed in the past: [ www.hikashop.com/support/forum/install-u...nu-links.html#189308](http://www.hikashop.com/support/forum/install-update/874672-checkout-product-listing-menu-links.html#189308) Canonical urls are behaving strangely on my live site. They tend to point my server address and not the relative address. meaning that /index.php... in the canonical URL in the products is not pointing to [ www.spinboom.com/index.php](http://www.spinboom.com/index.php) but to [ www.spinboom.com/SERVERNAME/index.php](http://www.spinboom.com/SERVERNAME/index.php) You advised me to update back then but since I want to avoid updating, is there a way to fix that too?

Thank you")* Updating would be best because the fixes done in that area are across several files and not just one or two lines. But first check that the live_site setting of your configuration.php is correct on your website.
