Hi chukkitty,

The function is to go to the home page. Why do you think that the developer needs to remove this?

Hello,

Such as wordpress and joomla. It is jump to index.php only. No need any " ?route=common/home".

Because seo cannot work under "?route=common/home". Then we need add redirect rule .htaccess. It is not user friendly.

Redirect rules in .htaccess would be more complicated and not good for the normal user that has no idea of what all of that means. Plus the route redirects to other places also. I believe that OpenCart is not trying to be Joomla or WordPress (Thank Goodness!!!).

It can be rerouted using the .htaccess file easily. This is from my .htaccess works fine

[code
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^route=common/home$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /? [R=301,L]
[/code]
