[SOLVED] ht acesss file and seo friendly links

Hi,
I am having some issues with my site which is https://vintagemagpie.store

If you go to the url vintagemagpie.store on my android phone it seems to divert to www.vintagamagpie.store and gives me a not found.

I know my hosting places my site in /public_html

and currently if you visit the above url from a normal web browser (not android) the page loads correctly.

My .htaccess file is below.

I would like to also use friendly seo urls however this does not seem to work either, I tried updating the .htaccess file with what was in .htaccess.txt and found that it was better on PC but on mobile the best I could get was it to arrive at a page not found page?

I am out of my depth on htacess files so any help would really be appreciated.
Many thanks
Phil

If I understand you correctly, you always want to do a re-direct from www.vintagemagpie.store to vintagemagpie.store. And always use the 'https://' protocol.

If so, make sure to use this in your config.php:
And use this in your admin/config.php:

If so, make sure to use this in your config.php:

Code: Select all

// HTTP
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://vintagemagpie.store/');

// HTTPS
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://vintagemagpie.store/');

And use this in your admin/config.php:

Code: Select all

// HTTP
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://vintagemagpie.store/admin/');
define('HTTP_CATALOG', 'https://vintagemagpie.store/');

// HTTPS
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://vintagemagpie.store/admin/');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG', 'https://vintagemagpie.store/');

Hi, this bit I have done and seems to work fine at present.

If you go on a PC browser to vintagemagpie.store it works.
Type this in on a phone it seems to redirect vintagemagpie.store/public_html/ and then index.php doesnt seem to load ?

And I want to turn on seo friendly urls.
thanks

I just tested it on an Android tablet, and it works fine. I am using Google Chrome.
Have you cleared your browser cache?

It doesn't seem to do the redirect from the www to the non-www URL though!

oops...

That fixed the android issue, what do I need to add to .htaccess file so I can use seo friendly URLS please.

Below is the standard OpenCart '.htaccess' for the SEO URLs:
And the SEO Urls needs to be enabled in the admin backend at Settings > store > Server > Use SEO Urls: Yes

THank you very much!

My website https://www.packingmoving.in/ is having issues with ht.access file. I am not able to see my blog pages but the remaining pages are live.

OpenCart is an ecommerce package, not a blog software! You are either not using OpenCart, or your web theme is such a non-standard poorly written extension, you'd probably have to get in touch with the author(s) of your software or extensions.
