Cool redesign!

Was v2.0 upgraded so we can modify CDSEO values from X-Cart add/modify pages or do we still have to download the zip and modify? If we have to download the zip and do the mod are the instructions the same or do we need updated install instructions for v2.0?

Thanks!

Paul

Hi Paul, every CDSEO version will only have the ability to modify via the X-Cart admin section with the CDSEO Admin addon. The instructions are the same.

I'm not sure what version you upgraded from, but older CDSEO versions allowed you to specify a URL as a 404 and then redirected to that URL. This became problematic when PHP stopped registering the 404 header prior to the redirect, so CDSEO was updated so that a static page could be specified and that functionality remains.

Your options are as follows:

1. Create a static page in the X-Cart Admin Static Pages section, and configure your CDSEO settings to use that page.

2. Open modules/cdseolinks/cdseo_errorpage.php and put whatever content you want in place of the existing content starting with:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-

I recommend options #1 to keep the person on your store layout.

Perfect. Thank,s Jon. #2 works like a charm.

Again, nice upgrade. (Our version was the highest available prior to upgrade).

Is this working with Nginx?

NGINX isn't yet official supported, but the rule should be:

Code:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /cdseopro.php;
}

If you provide an NGINX test environment we'd be happy to evaluate compatibility.

I just migrated (complete new install) from 4.4.5 Gold w/ CDSEO 1.8 to 4.6.4 Gold with CDSEO 2.0. New orders tested out fine, but I have had no activity on my site since the migration.

I just realized, that the new 4.6.4 CDSEO settings for my products (keywords, metatags) were different than my 4.4.5. I had exported my 4.4.5 settings prior to the upgrade, and just imported those to my CDSEO Pro 2.0 on 4.6.4. and regenerated my sitemap and submitted to Google webmaster

My question. My upgrade was done 48 hrs ago. Have I totally lost my previous rankings, or have to start over? I don't see any unexpected robots.txt activity (I use the info generated by CDSEO modules plus a few other things), and my .htaccess appears fine. Is there anything else I can do other than 'wait' to see traffic?

Thanks for any ideas

It takes Google 2-3 weeks typically to index so definitely you wouldn't have lost your rankings. This also wouldn't be the reason for a lack of traffic.

I am 'trying' to upgrade to PHP 5.5, with a new encrypted CDSEO Pro 2.07 module and my IONCUBE upgrade failed, and I can't make the 'old' IONCUBE install work, and I can't get the new IONCUBE for 5.5 work.

Currently my store is closed, and I either need to 'uninstall' CDSEO and use Xcart catalog and sitemap, and create a lot of 301 redirects in my .htaccess, or keep my store closed (now been over 2 hrs) while I hopefully get IONCUBE working.

I understand the reason for encryption. Maybe, a 'backdoor' with a week expiration on the code that is 'unencrypted' could be made available.

CDSEO is my only addon (plus ezUpsell, but I can live without that for a while) -- which really impacts my store, if it doesn't work. If I go backwards to 'no CDSEO' -- it is very painful, if my store stays closed, while I create a lot of redirects, it is very painful.

Any ideas - ?

Thanks

Hi Peggy, I will update you in our support desk.

peggyr · #30 09-20-2014, 09:38 AM

Jon,

I got 5.4 IONCUBE working, so my site is back online --

Again, this is very painful, when it breaks -- though I do understand the reason for wanting / needing encryption.
