Product Listing Auto Generates Multiple URL's

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.1
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.8
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Chrome

Hi,

Pls I'm having some serious issues with Hikashop after updating it
Each time I create a new product listing menu, Hikashop automatically generates a new duplicate URL for all the products in my store with the menu name I created despite choosing a specific category in the "main categories" box in the menu setting

Good thing is, it displays only the products from the category I filled in the "main categories" box in the menu setting which made me assume all was well but on checking my sitemap, it shows all the duplicate URLs created with the menu name which is very bad for my SEO.

Below is a screenshot for better understanding.
I don't get this duplicate URL for products listing I created before the update. Its the new product listings menu which I created e.g. Bulk Sms, Cartooned, Shirts, etc. that are having this duplicates. Here's a link to my websites html sitemap to see the duplicates

Pls guide me on how to correct this anomaly. Thanks

Hi Nicholas,
Thanks for your reply.
I know about that but that's not my issue. My current issue is each time I create a new Product Listing Menu & assign it a category or sub category, a new URL is generated for all products in my store even when those products are not under that category. E.g.
I create a new product listing menu called "Shirts" and assign it to "Tshirt" category in hikashop, a new URL is generated for all the products in my store for both products under T-shirt category & products under other main categories e.g. a new url is generated for Products under "data plan" category.

So in summary, assuming I have 50 products on my website under 8 different categories, and I create a new product listing menu for one of my categories (shirts), 50 new product links will be created under that new Product listing Menu I created which can detected with the Sitemap.
The new URL addresses will look like this
my site.com/shirts/products/Tshirt1 (this is right)
my site.com/shirts/products/mtn-1gb (this product is not under "Shirts" category, so its wrong. So does it generate URLs for all other products that's not under the "Shirt" category)
I know I can use the Canonical URL for my products but my sitemap is filled with lots of duplicates which consumes my web disc space
Also bad for Google indexing & SEO each time i submit my sitemap to Google.

Expecting your reply, thanks for your support

Hi Nicholas, thanks for your update.

I've done all what you recommended but my issue isn't resolved yet. You can take a look at my sitemap for more info
www.lordtech.com.ng/sitemap

After activating the option of the xmap plugin to not add product twice, all the products in my store were listed on only one category of my sitemap.
In summary, there's a bug in my Product listing menu which creates a new link for all the products in my store whenever a new Product Listing Menu is created.
Note that It doesn't display these products on the listing page but links are created which are usually displayed on my sitemap thereby making it look disarranged.
Pls help me take a look at this. I can PM you my site's login details to help me fix this. Thanks

Ok, i've sent the details. Thanks

Pls try it again, it will work now. I forgot to enable the account. My mistake, sorry about that

Okay, thanks. The Problem has been resolved

Hello,

I'm facing the same problem now. Google indexes URL's which were auto generated by Hikashop. I tried to add a canonical URL to the products and enabled the "force canonical" under the configuration but I can still access this pages. I even tried to use 301 redirect and nothing

Any advice please?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you Nicolas for your replay.
Is there a way to avoid indexing such pages or remove already indexed pages?

Thanks again
