I am using opencart 2 and have set up categories with unique seo keywords / urls. I have deleted a few of the categories and now want to use the seo keywords / urls that were used on the deleted categories on new categories. However, when I try to use the deleted seo keywords / urls I get the following error:
SEO keyword already in use!
Is there a way I can use the seo keywords / urls that were used on the deleted categories.
Thanks in advance.

Just open your database in PHPMyAdmin, browse to url_alias table, find this keyword and remove it manually.

Sorry for thread necromancy but just ran into what might be the same issue in OC3.
After creating an SEO URL in the admin panel, I couldn't then edit its query without being told that the keyword was a duplicate.
The attached mod makes a couple of small edits to the validation function so that it'll check the currently requested seo_url_id, and allow editing of the query if the ID matches.
I haven't looked at OC2 to know whether or not the mod would be applicable/usable there too.
