I find some extension that allows to create the SEO friendly url for all of your products, categories, manufacturer and information. It automatically create SEO keyword based on your title, so if you forget to give SEO keyword still your site will have SEO friendly URL generated automatically.

My guess is you are not activating it correctly. It's 3 steps:

1. assign seo urls to all categories, products, etc by editing them or adding it when you add a new one.
2. rename .htaccess.txt to .htaccess (remove the .txt from the end) and make sure there are no other htaccess files in your folder where opencart is installed.
3. in settings >server, enable seo urls and save

Then clear/reload modifications and clear any caches like vqmod, system, etc.

Should work fine. If not, make sure rewrite is enabled on your server (you say it is so assume this is true).

Otherwise, you might give us your url so we can see if there are other issues.

You can also check up for duplicated SEO keywords before switching to Enabled in the admin > settings. Since globaly you shouldn't have no duplicated SEO keywords for all - products, categories, manufactureres , info pages , etc.
Sometimes this cause the pages not to load.

Hi Labeshops,

Thank you for your reply.

I will give this a try and see how I go.

If I were to miss a SEO Url for a category or a product, would this effects all categories and products or just that particular section?

No, if you forget an url it won't break anything - just that category or product will show as the full route= path as it does with seo urls not enabled.

Can someone please confirm that enabling SEO URLS in OC ver 2.2 will make product urls appear as http://mydomain.com/leather-bag and not http://mydomain.com/leather-bag?path=60
I can not get products listed on product listings pages to display without the ?path=
Products listed on my homepage work and show the product without the trailing ?path=01

How do I get this work?

Yes, it works fine. see my sites in my signature - all run under 2.2.

See my steps to activate seo urls above in this thread. It works.
