Best regards")* Hey Nicolas! Thanks for response, yes I have totally removed all hikashop canonical urls from all products and yes all links are working 100% on frontend. Do i need to also remove data in the Alisa field of Hikashop/SEO setting, i have data in that field for all products. The thing I liked with canonical field in hikashop is it allowed me to have one url. If you go to revelprints.com you will see that I now have 2 urls for Binary Black Tee which I don't want. Just want all products url to simply be /men/products/productname.html - women/products/productname.html [ www.revelprints.com/men/products/binaryhello-men-black-tee.html](https://www.revelprints.com/men/products/binaryhello-men-black-tee.html) (the url i want 100%) [ www.revelprints.com/technology/products/...o-men-black-tee.html](https://www.revelprints.com/technology/products/binaryhello-men-black-tee.html) The image below shows the sef url page I am referring to that shows the weird product-id links but I am not seeing these on frontend now.

Best regards")* Hi, So when you use sh404SEF and canonical URLs you need to be extra careful : 1. If you clear the cache of the URLs of sh404SEF, the canonical URLs in HikaShop won't be valid anymore and you need to clear the canonical URLs in your products. 2. You can't directly write the canonical URL you want in your products. You need that sh404SEF first registers once the canonical URL you want in its URLs listing to be able to then set it as canonical URL in HikaShop, otherwise, the URL might not work. 3. Just setting the canonical URL in your product won't make it so that other URLs won't be generated for the product. What it does is that it tells search engines that this is the main URL of the product page, regardless of all the other URLs (and thus avoid the "duplicate content" SEO errors). If you want to stop sh404SEF and/or the Joomla sef system to generate other URLs, you also need to activate the "force canonical URLs on listings" setting of the HikaShop configuration. That way, HikaShop will always use that URL on product listings. 4. But even if you do that, if you use a third party products listing module/plugin/extension which doesn't support the canonical URL system, you might end up with other URLs being generated for your product pages (even though it won't affect your seo), and in that case, you need to check with the developer of that module/plugin/extension if you're missing something in the settings of that module/plugin/extension or if they need to change something in their code to support it.
