wrong urls in google

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.3

Hi,
I have a problem with urls being generated and referenced by google that are not the same as through the menu which works fine. I have set use canonical url and generate if missing.

Thus through main menu www.stepsandstillages.co.uk/second-hand is fine. But I can also reference it by www.stepsandstillages.co.uk/products/sti...egory/19-second-hand , this happens to display fine but sometimes the generated urls dont.

Its been a while since I last looked at hikashop and I cant work out what is going on and how to stop it! I tried setting canonical url on categories to the same as the menu but this gets overwritten so that it looks like the above. I have rewritten some urls in htaccess but this would work only for a few urls. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

David.

Hi,

Yes the correct canonical is showing now as I set the canonical within the category and set hikashop sef configuration to use canonical url if specified. If I set it to use canonical and generate if missing the catagory canonical is overwritten by the link used to access it and this becomes the new canonical. This happens when I generate a new site map using the old xmap sitemap plugin. Maybe this is the problem.

Thanks.
