Hello, I have a direct "product page" menu link which has a nice clean url. However when I reach the same product by going through the category i get a "product/1" inserted into the URL. I found where you can edit the word "product" in the config but i cannot lose the "1" Can you have the category url match the clean URL of the direct ink. I dont want two pages for the same product.


Thanks very much

Hi,

That's not possible directly. You'll have to have a different URL unless you configure a URL alias with a 3rd party SEF extension.
But that's not really a problem to have two URLs for a product. You can just enter the main URL in the canonical field of the product so that it is that one which is referenced by search engines and it won't degrade your SEO.
