Did you not get my email?

I did not receive any reply from you. I checked my entire site and database and it is showing http. There is no sign of https. However, it still shows 404 after removing the product category base.

OK, let me take another look at your site and i’ll email you.

Hi, Yes it does!

Hi I purchased it but I didn’t find this option…

Could you help me?

I just don’t find where to add my keywords in both products and categories

Do you mean the meta keywords?

Updated are automatic from the Wordpress admin.

Thanks for pointing this out! I managed to get in updated to 1.1.3. Thanks!

After updating to 1.1.3, although it did removed the category base, but it is showing 404 still. Are you able to help?

I have tried re-saving the permalinks in wordpress and re-saving the SEO settings, but it is still showing 404 with the product category removed.

On what pages?

On my product categories pages. Any solution to solve this?

Email me access details to your site and i’ll try and take a look.

Break in what way? Are you using the Woocommerce SEO layered navigation widget too?

No I’m just using “YITH WooCommerce Ajax navigation”.

It returns no products when I select more than one filter. When I disable your plugin, it works fine again.

Thanks.

Can you tell me the version of Woocommerce and Woocommerce SEO you are using.

Sure. WordPress 3.8.1, WooCoomerce 2.0.20 (Waiting for my theme to be compatible with 2.1.2), WooCommerce SEO 1.1.1

OK, probably best to give me access to the site so i can take a look rather than asking you a bunch of questions here. Email me the details and i’ll have a look when i get a chance.

OK, I just emailed you the website’s address and credentials via the contact form.

The website is in French, I hope you have the basics

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

The product might do what you want. There are no features currently to manipulate the URLs of products however, if i remember correctly, Woocommerce did have a way of making the product URLs include categories and sub-categories.

The plugin will allow you to have /shop/categoryname (i.e. remove the product-category base).

Before purchasing try getting the product URLs to include the categories from Woocommerces settings. Once you get that working, then everything else you want can be done.

Hope that helps

That is good news, I have been able to get the category name in the URL, and found this to help me get the sub-category in the name: http://blog.peterkling.info/post/31007977292/woocommerce-subcategories-in-permalink

Has the plug been tested with Woocommerce 2.1 yet?

Cheers,

Steve

It has and there are a few bugs that need fixing. Working on fixes as we speak so you can hold off on purchasing until i get these fixed and get the update released.

That sounds good to me, I will keep looking out for news of the update.

Thanks again!

Steve

Hello Code-Ninjas, just wondering if you were able to let me know when to expect the updated release?

Cheers,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Updates are done have been uploaded to Code Canyon for review so however long it takes Code Canyon to review and release the update Should only be a few days though so check back then

That is good news, I will check again later this week

Hi there, I have bought the plugin now that it has been updated.

I can’t quite get it to do what I want. It has removed the category base, but its also removed the shop/products base as well.

My site is a local one so can’t give you access.

The Woocommerce products page is: /lights

I would like the categories to appear in subfolder of this: /lights/category1, and subfolders to appear like this: /lights/category1/subcategory1 etc.

My products permalink is set to: /lights/ product_cat

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Is ‘lights’ a parent category? Or do you want lights to be your category base?

I want ‘lights’ to be my shop base and my category base. If I do this without Woocommerce SEO everything works apart from the product detail pages.

I can use this code to make the sub-category work in the product detail page: http://blog.peterkling.info/post/31007977292/woocommerce-subcategories-in-permalink

What do you currently get on the product details page?

At the moment, without the modification from Peter Kling, my product detail page is http://www.example.com/lights/consumables/lee222 (in an ideal world I want it to be http://www.example.com/lights/consumables/filters/rosco-e-colour-002-rose-pink)

I just want the pages that get to the product detail page to be a logical progression.

I think the problem is setting both the shop base and the category base to ‘lights’. Try setting on the shop base as lights. Then it you Woocommere settings, there is a setting that lets you append the shop base to all URLs. enable this then try it.

It would be easier to see this myself so i’ll have to setup something up on my local server to test it out if that doesn’t work.

That looks like an old option, its not there in the latest version. I don’t have anything set as my category base, I just have the product page permalink base set to /lights/ product_cat and the page Lights set as the shop page.

I would give you access to mine but its local, would it help if I made it live for you?

Let me try and replicate it myself and i’ll let you know.

Another thing I have noticed is that the main shop page, /lights doesn’t use your breadcrumbs, but all category pages do. The only problem is that the base shop page is not included in the breadcrumbs, probably due to the fact the base shop isn’t in the URL.

Oh, and the product detail pages don’t use your breadcrumbs either. Is this by design?

Yes that it by design.

I take it the lack of shop base page in the breadcrumbs isn’t by design?

If i remember correctly, the plugin just hooks into Woocommerce’s default breadcrumb function to add the filter. Does the shop base show up in the breadcrumbs with the plugins breadcrumbs switch off?

The woocommerce breadcrumbs do show the shop base if I turn off your breadcrumbs. The shop base shows on the product detail page and the main shop page.

Hmm, OK I’ll have a look into it. The breadcrumbs were coded a while ago and may well have changed drastically in later versions of Woocommerece.

Your going to get bored of me soon

Just added a new category which as a sub-category, and the page wouldn’t display until I flushed the permalinks. Is this a Woocommerce problem or a Woocommerce SEO problem?

Not sure how to fix it, but I think I know why the permalink refresh isn’t happening. When I add a category to Woocommerce the page doesn’t refresh. I have to manually refresh it to see the newly added category.

To be honest, that shouldn’t be the problem. If your using the layered navigation widget, then yes you will need to refresh the permalinks. But if its just the category page than you trying to view then I’m not too sure. The plugin adds the category links to the permalinks on each page load, so it the category exists in the database, it should add the link.

Hmmm, something to think about!

As a test I turned off all plugins, and changed to the default theme, even reinstalled Wordpress, but the category page doesn’t refresh after add or delete. I am going to transfer my site to a live host rather than using DesktopServer, see if that helps.

The category problem has gone away now that I am live, but the other problems remain. I can give you access if that helps?

Which problem still remains? The URL structure one?

Yup, the shop base is being removed as well as the category base on the category pages.

Further, the ‘SEO’ tab from within Woocommerce Settings is completely non-existent.

Hi, no it doesn’t. You will need to manually add a redirect. But you don’t need to add one for each URL. You can create a rule. In you .htaccess file that will cover them all.

Ooh! How does that work? I’m a code virgin -

Already bought this plugin for another site, love it!!!

Keep up the good work – I wish you great success.
