Re: CDSEO Pro - Complete SEO Solution - Custom Urls, Page Titles, Meta Data, Link Anchors
 
Any help or advise would be appreciated!

This evening I replicated a portion of the Category Structure within my store to be under the Clearance categories (Copy via MagneticOne Store Manager)

I then moved products under these copied categories, however now in the standard user interface I cannot see the products - I can see the categories though. Also when you go to Clearance/20% Off/Rubber Stamps it directs you to where I copied the orginal category structure from, and doesn't go to the copied categories under Clearance

When I look at everything in Admin, I can see the products under the categories. The categories and products are all active, I cleared the cache and forced new cache generation. Everything looks OK from within Admin.

Maybe this is a problem with CDSEO?

Thoughts? Comments?

CDSEO wouldn't prevent products from displaying, sorry I'm not sure off hand where the problem would lye.

Back on 4.0.x, I wrote my own little tweak to DSEFU to do images SEO. It would take stock X-Cart Image URLs, say "www.domain.com/00013.jpg" and map those to "www.domain.com/Product-Name-00013.jpg"

I was ranking pretty high on images.google.com and got some decent traffic from it. Once I installed a thumbnail mod on 4.1.x, I wasn't able to use this feature, and I lost all that traffic

It would be great if CDSEO could enable some kind of image SEO with configurable rules. Some folks might already have their images named with SEO in mind; but for me they're not and I know this would make a difference for Google Image Search traffic.


This is something we are considering.

By popular request we've created a content management system for x-cart which allows posting of blogs, articles, information, news and more. The xCMS integrates with cdseo to take advantage of cdseo's seo features including custom page titles, meta keywords, meta descriptions, link anchors, xml sitemap generator, etc.

I've just noticed that links to disabled products result in the following error:

Access denied !

You are not allowed to access that resource!

Error ID: 33

Within the CDSEO settings I have enabled the "Redirect disabled items to homepage when no custom disabled redirect specified:"

Any nominations for where I start looking for the source of the problem? - The only error handling in my .htaccess file is for error 401.

That error is the default x-cart message when a product is disabled. It's not triggered by an error message but rather by php code which redirects to this page. The CDSEO setting should be overriding this to perform the 301 redirect to home or you can specify a custom disabled url for the product in the cdseo admin.

Actually Jon it does work as you say. It transpires that the products that I'm having problems with are no longer listed in the Products Management list (I'm investigating whether they were intentionally deleted or not) but are still listed in the CDSEO product admin area, so they are being added to the sitemap.

I used CDSEO Data Import/Export to export the product data where I removed the missing products by hand and then imported back in to CDSEO. I searched for the products that I had removed the data for and expected not to find them ...but they were still there!

To summarise CDSEO still lists products that are no longer in the X-Cart database and I can't remove them using CDSEO Data Import/Export. Am I missing something here?
