I would use the live site domain as primary and your test domain as secondary. That way the license will be keyed for both so when you make it live it continues to work.

Re: CDSEO Pro - Complete SEO Solution - Custom Urls, Page Titles, Meta Data, Link Anchors
 

Here's a question for all you CDSEO Pro users out there,

I've just done a reshuffle of a lot of categories on a website and need to update the relevant links in CDSEO Pro, yet I only have the choices via the modules section to populate empty fields, or delete all and start again (not recommended for a live site which is what I have)

What is the preferred method of doing this as I also have a few customized urls to avoid duplication?

Do I simply edit the database and empty the fields for only the url's I've changed and then repopulate them?

Thanks for your response.

1. Go to your CDSEO Pro Admin Panel --> yourstore.com/x-cart/admin/cdseopro/index.php
2. Click on "Categories" (1st menu choice on left)
3. Click on the Category you need to update.
4. Update to the new URL and click Update.
5. You will now see your new URL and below it your old URL under URL History.

Hope this is what you were looking for.

Hey elmirage001, thanks for that and I can use this.

It would be helpful if there was almost a "refresh" option to recheck all values any only update ones that had changed, as opposes to manually doing each one.

Still a great module though.

If you have both the old and new site running you could use the CDSEO Pro Export feature and then use a tool like Beyond Compare (which Jon recommends) to do a file text compare. It will show you the differences between the two files and limit having to manually check each one.

Thanks for the suggestion, It's a live site so I'll just run though them manually. :)

You might still be able to make the job easier by exporting the data and visually looking at it instead of having to pull up each item one at at time.

The best way to handle changing categories might be to install the x-cart admin addon so you can change the url at the same time as modifying the category path: http://www.x-cart-seo.com/cdseo-pro-for-x-cart/xcart-admin-addon.php

Hi Jon,

Just posted a ticket, could you take a look?

Go to your CDSEO Admin -> Modules -> XML Sitemap Generator.

Scroll down to the bottom and click Submit to update the settings. Then try regenerating.
