Hi,

I can't figure it out. My homepage is a display (pictures) of all categories of the webshop.
So you see 12 or so images.

If I click a image I go to: website/categorie/categoryname

But in the menu I have a menu for all categories. So if I click on categoryname in the menu I go to : website/categoryname

I need both links to go to the same url: website/categoryname

I fiddled with settings but can't figure it out. Where am I going wrong?


[EDIT]
I guess I figured it out. Always when posting a problem solutions seems to pop up. Changing the canonical URL of the individueal categories solved it.

I'll keep on trying!

Hello,

That's right ; you have to use the canonical URL if you want to "force" the usage of a specific URL.

Explaining a problem is always a good method to think and find a proper solution.
In development there is the "rubber duck debugging" which is using that same principle
