[ www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...ig.html#features\_sef](http://www.hikashop.com/support/support/documentation/54-hikashop-config.html#features_sef) If you're providing/generating wrong canonical URL and you force HikaShop to use that URL ; it will result a lot of 404 pages. At this moment I'll recommend you to clean your canonical url or do not activate the setting to force it. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

So how can i trigger to recreate the SEO urls of products?")* I've checked that. I didn't specify (empty) an ItemId in the settings of the search module. So i checked the template overrides and there was one available so i temporarily disabled it. And even with Joomla's 'original' search module the problem exists and behaves the same. The hikashop search plugin returns a SEF url and appends some additionally parameters. The urls are fine for all other products. When "?option=com_search&Itemid=9999" gets appended the user is redirected to the search component instead of com_hikashop. I also removed the ItemId from the code to check, but then the currents page ItemId is taken instead, so no change. There is just something wrong with the URLs generated for the newly imported products while SEO was enabled in the joomla settings.

The non working ones are unaffected. Since we have ~22.000 products listed in the shop i didn't notice that there are also older imported products which do not work. So whats taken into account for creating the SEO url? Why are still SEO urls generated when SEO is disabled?!

That way, the link to the product page will always be the same. But if later on you change the menu structure of your website, the link there might be incorrect and thus you'll have to empty the canonical URL field of the products again.
