Google search

Hi,

You want to enter the main URL of your product in the "canonical URL" field of the product.
That way, Google will automatically use that URL, even if it finds the product using another URL and won't generate that error.

If you want to automate this, you can set the "Force canonical URLs on listings" setting to "Use canonical URL and generate it if missing":
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/5...ig.html#features_sef
This will automatically fill the canonical URL when needed.
Note however that in this case, it's the first URL used to access the product by someone on the frontend which will be used.
So it might not necessarily be the URL with the breadcrumbs you want. So, after activating this option, you can browse the products listings on your frontend to let HikaShop generate the URLs with the correct breadcrumbs.

Hi,

Yes, it should help.

Hi,

Well, they are needed for SEO. But if you change your menu structure they need to be updated, not removed.

Hi,

Since you now fixed the duplicate content issue for all the product URLs, I would recommend resubmitting a sitemap to Google:
developers.google.com/search/docs/crawli...sk-google-to-recrawl
That will help reindex properly the website in the short term instead of having to wait a lot of time.

Hi,

The issue comes from the "/" in the name of the product and the fact that you didn't activate the "Alias automatic filling" setting of the HikaShop configuration when creating the products. Because of that, the alias field of the products is empty. And thus, the system uses the name of the product to generate the alias, stripping the characters that can't be used in the URL. However, because of this, after you click on a link for a product with a "/" in the name, the system is not able to match with either the name or the alias.
Ideally, you would want to fill in the alias of these products with a value without any special characters.

Now, I recognize that this could be a problem others could have in the future. To prevent this, I'll be changing the line:

$name_regex = '^ *p?'.str_replace(array('-',':'),'.+',str_replace(array('*', '+', '(', ')', '?', '='), '', $name)).' *$';

$name_regex = '^ *p?'.str_replace(array('-',':'),'.+',str_replace(array('*', '+', '(', ')', '?', '=', '/'), '', $name)).' *$';
