If you browse them from the menu module itself, then it just displays the listing of the products of the category selected in the menu item, and thus there is no canonical URL to calculate. It needs to display a listing of category. to calculate the canonical URL of each category in the listing.

You have sub menu items with the categories and in that case, the system directly use the URL of the sub menu item corresponding to the category, which skips the generation of the URL process where the canonical URL is generated if missing. Change the code: Code: return JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_hikashop&Itemid='.$submenu->itemid); to: Code: $url = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_hikashop&Itemid='.$submenu->itemid); // save the URL as canonical URL if the "force canonical URLs on listings" setting is activated and the canonical URL is not filled in $config = hikashop_config(); $force_canonical = $config->get('force_canonical_urls',1); if(isset($cid->category_canonical) && empty($cid->category_canonical) && $force_canonical == 2) { $newObj = new stdClass(); $newObj->category_id = $cid->category_id; $newObj->category_canonical = $url; $categoryClass = hikashop_get('class.category'); $categoryClass->save($newObj); } return $url; in the file components/com_hikashop/views/category/view.html.php and that should help. Let us know how it goes so that we can add that patch on our end too.

It's only if you activate the "force canonical URLs on listings" setting of the HikaShop configuration that the canonical URL of the product will be used everywhere. If you don't want that, you should turn off that setting. That way, the URLs to access the product page will be different, but the indexed URL for search engines will still be the canonical URL (and you won't have issues with SEO).
