Hi Guys,
Thought I would post an update to help as I came across this problem also.
To 301 redirect old SEO keyword URLs (found on product & categories 'data' tab) to a new URL use the following format:
Code: Select all
RewriteRule ^seo-keyword$ http://www.example.co.uk/updated-seo-keyword/ [R=301,L]
That's not all though. That line above needs to be added to the .htaccess file directly after turning on the rewrite engine. See below for how it should look:
Code: Select all
# SEO URL Settings
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^seo-keyword$ http://www.example.co.uk/updated-seo-keyword/ [R=301,L]
# If your opencart installation does not run on the main web folder make sure you folder it does run in ie. / becomes /shop/
RewriteBase /
Obviously there is more code than this within the .htaccess, this is just the section in question.
Hope this helps someone floating around looking for a solution
