Force friendly url update

[Havouza]

Is it possible to somehow force an update of the friendly urls?

[jnsgioia]

If you go to Preferences - Products there is a button to force update of friendly urls on every save.

[Havouza]

Save that setting or save the product?

[jnsgioia]

@Havouza I think it is save of the product.

Are you needing to mass update all your urls or just as you change the product?

[Havouza]

The rewrite engine cant handle names like He & She. It becomes he--she instead of he-and-she. So now I have hundreds of wrong urls

[jnsgioia]

@Havouza I think if you fix it with a csv import the urls will be rewritten automatically.

I have a feeling that same thing will happen again because this happens when the catalog is uploaded via XML from the supplier. Which happens once a week. I have to find a solution

@Havouza Remebering from ps 1.7 uploads you need to check for # and ; in your titles as well. I had to remove all three before it would work correctly.

@jnsgioia For me this is a bigger problem. From where does this come

index.php?route=product/category&path=62_82

And this. I now have 13 url that is not found. All with the same error. The part after the last forward slash is completely wron and doef of course no exist

sex-toys/sex-toys-sex-toys-for-men/sex-toys-for-men-penis-sleeves/contact-us

@Havouza The index.php?... is what the url is when it is unfriendly, so I guess some are not getting made friendly. I googled and found this thread on opencart https://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=190&t=168834 I don't know if it would help or not.

Perhaps the & is messing things up somehow.
