woocommerce URL settings - Support

Hello Mr Bhanu,

A little while ago I received a video from you about a SEP course and I followed the instructions you gave in the video.

One of them that sounded very interesting is to shorten the URL of my products in to this:
https://d33v4339jhl8k0.cloudfront.net/inline/65238/a5babbfde58170fce8d8a2045116287f3bcc5b32/a793cf901af9b3dcddb142608ae1f09127f3fc76/image.png
I use se.ranking to check my site and to get the errors out of it, and now I noticed that:
my site saves all the possible titles and sees them as duplicates. I get a huge amount of errors now. For instance, I get: https://florencejewelshop.com/amber-statement-necklace/, which is fine. But the site has also https://florencejewelshop.com/product/amber-statement-necklace/ and https://florencejewelshop.com/amber-statement-necklace/
https://d33v4339jhl8k0.cloudfront.net/inline/65238/c3b9843d916bc27f663e27f092db87d02c48f22e/2478dc36baed91e2dc55f8c45ed59c3191c299b9/image.png

I don’t want all the errors, so I tried to change things back to what they were.

I saved the changes, but nothing happens. The URLs stay the way I changed them according to your video and don’t won’t go back to the original settings.

Can you help me to go back or to solve the matter?

Thank you and kindest regards from The Netherlands,

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math for help with your product URL rewrites.

After updating the product URL settings, please refresh your permalink settings. To do this from your WordPress dashboard go to Settings > Permalinks and click “Save Changes”. Once you have refreshed the permalink settings, you can check if your preferred URLs are working.

Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have questions.

Thank you for your reply, but I cannot find the ‘perma link’ settings.
I looked at Rankmath > general settings > links, RM > general settings > woocommerce, Woocommerce > settings > products. But nowhere does it say ‘perma link settings’.

Could you be more specific, please?
Thank you, kindest regards from the Netherlands, Florence Eijck

Hello there,

After ‘fooling’ around in the dashboard and reading your instructions again, I saw that you meant the general settings on the dashboard. I found there the permalink settings, and I refreshed it. That worked, But…

I would like to have the URL: my name/name article. I know how to change that, but I get a lot of ‘errrors’ on my site since se.ranking sees this as duplicates (see my screensave in the original message). Without the name, ‘shop’ and ‘product-collection in the URL, I got more than 1000 extra errors, and then my Google ranking goes down.

How can I solve that?

Hello,

I am glad you managed to find the WordPress permalink settings.

If I understand correctly, you want the product URL structure to be “yoursite.com/product-name/”. For that, please use the URL settings shown in the screenshot:

For the duplicate URLs, you may need to create redirects from the old URLs to the new ones to avoid a drop in ranking. You can refer to our guide for how to create redirects: https://rankmath.com/kb/setting-up-redirections/

Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have questions.
