Hi, Jon,

After a couple of months since my initial post urls that were generated by the mod, then changed manually in the mod admin are still returning an error 404 instead of redirecting (301) to the new url. It used to be that when an url was changed it would automatically redirect to the new one. I can't think of what else to do, would you have any suggestions? There are 308 urls with this problem, they all show on Webmaster tools in Google and Bing. The site has almost 2,000 unique urls.

Thanks again!

Can you provide some recent example urls that are not 301 redirecting?

Is it wise to remove https version of the webpages to avoid duplicate content as search engine may also have http version of the same pages indexed?

How should I go about removing https: from search engines?

Highly appreciate any suggestions/tips.

In your x-cart admin under General Settings -> Security, uncheck Do not redirect customers from HTTPS to HTTP:

Test to make sure your https:// urls redirect to the http:// version properly. If they don't, then you may need to follow this KB entry: https://www.websitecm.com/support/default_import/Knowledgebase/Article/View/44/0/why-is-my-site-not-redire...sing-cdseo-pro

In our very next CDSEO release we are going to have an option to force http:// on canonical links.

In 4.4.x and up you also have to modify https.php and comment out

$https_scripts[] = array(
'help.php',
"section=contactus"
);

and add

$https_scripts[] = 'contact-us.html';

Thanks for the update Steve.

Hm it doesn't seem to make the html page https but at least it doesn't redirect to help.php?section=contactus.... I wonder if this works on scripts only or there is more to change somewhere else?

[Jon]

You could always use .htaccess to force https on the contact page.

[cflsystems]

True. I guess that would be the way then since https.php doesn't seem to do it
