Description
Experience Level: Expert
General information for the website: clothing retail
Description of requirements/features: Hi,
Our Magento 1.8 store was originally running with Category folders included in product path as per the below:
www.website.com/mens/t-shirts/v-neck-black-t-shirt.html
We now have removed the category path structure option and now display URLs to products as below
www.website.com/v-neck-black-t-shirt.html
We have then recently been through our Magento website and have cleared A LOT of discontinued out of stock product from categories, on looking at our google webmaster tools we are now getting a lot of 404 errors for the product URL as below. We have removed the product from category 'Mens' and Category 't-shirts' but magento is not redirecting the below URL to the direct product URL which still works. It is just showing a 404 error page.
www.website.com/mens/t-shirts/v-neck-black-t-shirt.html
We don't want to have to manually redirect all the category URLs for discontinued product to the simple product url. I am not sure if our magento is not rewritting correctly or that because we have switched category paths off this is going to present a problem with all the category path product URLs indexed by google.
We need some advice on how to solve this issue.
Thanks
