Fixing Duplicate Product & Category URLs in PrestaShop
If you find that your PrestaShop store has duplicate product URLs, it’s important to fix them to ensure better SEO performance and avoid confusing your customers. Here’s how you can easily resolve this issue using the PrestaShop Pretty SEO Friendly URL module:
Fixing Duplicate Product URLs
1. Navigate to the Product List:
From your PrestaShop dashboard, go to Sell > Catalog > Products. You’ll see a list of all the products in your store.
2. Choose the Duplicate Product to Edit:
Locate the product with the duplicate URL. Click on it to open the editing page.
3. Go to the SEO Tab:
In the product editing screen, find and click on the SEO tab. This section allows you to adjust the SEO settings, including the friendly URL.
4. Rewrite the Friendly URL:
You will see a field for the Friendly URL. Simply modify this field to create a unique URL for the product. For example, if two products have the URL “red-shirt,” you can change one to “red-shirt-cotton” or “red-shirt-small.”
5. Save the Changes:
After rewriting the URL, press the Save button to apply the changes. Your product will now have a unique, SEO-friendly URL.
