In my site google seems to index categories although I never specifically link to a category - how is that possible such that I can stop it?
This link was never created by me: http://www.website.com/50-categoryname and I want it gone from google for good please.
Thanks,
Mat
You should hide these links from search engines. You can do it in your robots.txt file like this:
Disallow: /50-categoryname
Also take a look at Joomla's Redirect Manager - may it will help you to redirect incorrect links to needed pages.
Even though you think you have never linked the category most likely you have such as by having the category name display in a list or part of a module. Go to configuration fr all your content types and make sure that display/link category and parent category is turned to off and check all modules. Also make sure you don't have any categories links and that you aren't using a sitemap that generates these links automatically (linking to all the top level categories and letting the map build through all of the child categories is the quickest way to generate a site map).

How can I create a page for each category automatically in Jekyll ?
example:
the url of the post : https://UsrNm.github.io/Category1/Category2/2018/02/16/Post1.html
I want when I go to link like: https://UsrNm.github.io/Category1/Category2/
Get All posts in category Category1 and Category2
or when I go to link like: https://UsrNm.github.io/Category2/
Get All posts in category Category2 only
You can't do this automatically.
Well, you have 2 options:
The Jekyll way and the hackish way.
In pure Jekyll way you will need to create pages manually for each category, even if you have posts with multiple categories. Note that Jekyll doesn't have dynamic routing for this.
In hackish way you could use Javascript to read the parameters in url and show/hide needed content. Idea is to render all of the posts(hidden by default) and create identifiers on them, proper way to do this would be adding html attribute data-category=cat1 and say that you have url like this
/category?categories=cat1,cat2. You could then get categories from url and add logic in javascript to show just the ones that are actually in that categories.
Hope that helps
You can use the gem jekyll-archives to do this kind of work, which is a plugin of jekyll.
Or if you want to do this manually, you can read this guide
You can see the example of my site
Tips: Github Pages do not support this. Thus, if you want to deploy this on Github pages, you can convert site to static files and push only _site dir to the repo, which has been mentioned at here :)
I was a newbie in Joomla and using the latest version to create my website. I want to create news page (list of article). I'm using module (external plugin) to listing all the article. But I'm not understand the structure to create the pages.
I got a menu like this:
Home
Latest News (link to single article with category 'Latest News')
This is my category:
Home
Latest News
News (every new article will be under this category)
Events
Then I display all the article inside Latest News page except the page I leave as blank because I using module to display the list. The URL will be like this mywebsitename/latest-news.
The problem is when I click one of the article to show full details of the article. The URL will be like mywebsitename/latest-news/11-home/latest-news/news/articleName. So how I need to do to structure the URL even my breadcrumb to be like this
mywebsitename / Latest News / News / article name
Even the module also display inside the article page. I only set this module under latest news page only. Can anyone help me. Thanks.
If you just began, restart your project. If you want to build up a site, first check whether there are any core functions for your usage or not. If it can be done through them, do it like that, as this is better for updating your site. (Maybe your plugin will not be supported later on...)
Then restart by building up your site:
Category - Article - Menu
Firstly, create the categories you wish. For example, you want the category "News" where you put news articles and a category "Events" where you put articles about your events.
Secondly create some articles for your category. You can use the "read-more" to preview your articles in your blog.
Last, create the menu. You can use a category blog and it's options to show your articles the way you want.
This might be a basic question, I'm still relatively new to Magento. I have 2 store views in a magento project. 1 for English (default) and 1 for Japanese. While working with both store views, I noticed how if for example I switch to the Japanese store view, if I redirected to a different page or content on the store, the language goes back to English. How do I prevent the website from going back to the default language every time I change categories/catalogs?
That is all about Magento Admin setting. While creating Content Pages/Categories/products, there is a option that ask to choose Store View.
You can add content for Cateogries/Product/CMS Pages for each locale. If it is done then you'll be able to see your site content on the basis of current locale. Hence you need to go through Magento Admin first.
Hope it will work for you. Please let me know if any issue.
Managing contents in multilingual stores in Magento is easy.
Edit/Create Product/Category/Page/Static blocks according to need storeview and put content according to languages in that.
Now access pages by store code, if we are using that.
In some case we don't find the heading names according to languages so just enable inline translater from admin and do translation specific to store/website.
To run Magento store using urls we have both options index.php modifiction and using .htaccess using website and store codes.
On running Magento multisite , multistore. We generally face the common urls for media, js and other resources we should use symlink to increase SEO ranking and score.
Please feel free to contact.
Install your language package.
Create products, categories, pages, and static blocks on the basis of your selected language.
Sometimes translation does not work for few words. In those cases, Inline translation from admin will help you.
Managing content according to store view is very easy.
follow up below steps for managing content according to Store view.
Edit your product or category or your page and static block etc.
after that you can see store select left side in product and category and on page you can see feild below url in static block also. select your store view.
whater ever you want to change or edit please do according to you.
After that save it will apear only on your selected store.
Note: if you not edit any fild by store then it will show default store contents.
I have been tasked with updating a Joomla site. I have been working with existing pages for a while, but now I had to create a new page.
I just created a new page using Joomla. But I can't find what the URL to that page is. Also, the pretty urls are enabled. But I don't know how to create a pretty url for the page I just created.
I even tried adding the id to /index.php?Itemid= in the url and doesn't work.
Seems like something like this would be self-explanatory, but I have been looking around in the options and the menus and googling for the answer and I can't find it anywhere.
As far as I know, you need to attach an article to a category to view it.
You can assign the article to a category. After that open an article from that category and replace the text after the last "/" in url with the alias of your article.
You can also assign the article to a category that is linked to a menu item. that way you will be able to see the article link in the menu.
You may later remove the article from the category.
I have one or two categries in magento but these are not always showing up in URL.
Example:
When I navigate to a product page the path looks like this:
.../cat/subcat/product.html
However, when I click a product directly from the frontpage (newest, featured), then the URL structure looks like this:
.../product.html
My first thought was to deactivate, that the category is showing up within the URL (backend seo tab).
Well, I'm trying to seo the shop and not very happy with this solution. I'd like to have always a clear structured URL.
Any ideas?
If your website has a complicated structure, you will have multiply URL for a single product, just like you mentioned. This situation may damage your website's profile to the customer, but it won't be any problems to Search Engine. The latest version of Magento provides canonical URL support for product and category. You may access the configuration under
System -> Configuration -> Catalog -> Search Engine Optimizations -> Use Canonical Like Meta Tag for Products
If you are going to eliminate this situation throughly, you can create URL writes to the URL you want through a 403 status code, which also will tell search engine that the content has been permanently migrate to the target URL and user can only access the URL you want to present to them.
The problem you have is that a product can belong to multiple categories so what category should be used in this case?
Depending on how you are outputting the newest, featured etc.. you could use a static block instead and simply put in the products manually which you can then link to the product in the category you want. This is a manual process but one that would work for what you want to do without requiring custom work.
Cheers
