Hi peter-hnr,

If the links are not exact they will not link properly... All are not exact. Of course you can go thru the trouble of redirecting but that is a lot of work for very little gain. Just let Google re-index your site that s what it does.

if you are thinking of doing a conversion - http://www.randemsystems.com/support/op ... n-2-1-0-1/

If you upgrade your existing database with all the same seo urls, it won't change at all. If you are just upgrading to 2 and using all the same products and categories and url, it will be invisible to google.

Be sure to use a robots.txt file in your development directory to keep google/etc from indexing it while you are building it.

Running Opencart v3.0.3.9 with multi-stores and the default template from https://www.labeshops.com which has links to all my stores.

Thanks for the input, helpful information
Im building the site on another domain so that might be a god thing to block searchengines in index file.
I wanted to do a complete upgrade with everything but thats to scary for me so i do a clean install :-).
Its just that i dont like the broken links untill google reindex everything but i might have to live with it.
the only thing i really wanted to keep was customers login and data but its brobably the same hard process.

Thanks again
