Hello Anthony,

1) We are still preparing the documentation for the blog section. Maybe it was a mistake to leave an empty page before we are ready.

2) Yes, you can have SEO urls for both articles listing and single article pages. You need to follow these steps:
- Make sure you have renamed _root/.haccess.txt to _root/.haccess
- Make sure you have enabled SEO urls from Admin > System > Settings > Server
- Go to Admin > Extensions > Modules > Stories > General and put your keyword here.
- In the same panel you can enable auto generation of pretty urls for blog articles

3) Do you have a custom scope for “All categories”? There are custom colors saved for the row that holds the page title content block. Try to go edit Page Builder > Content > All categories > Row (the one that wraps Page title content block).

4) Copyright can be changed from catalog/view/theme/pavilion/template/common/footer.tpl

5) Unfortunately this is a part of OpenCart. We will provide a working solution a bit later and post it here in this topic.

6) Unfortunately you cannot have multiple columns for inline text, unless you add some custom styling:

#PageContentInformationSystem_tbW1yaX2pc .tb_text_wrap {
  -webkit-column-count: 2;
     -moz-column-count: 2;
           column-count: 2;
  -webkit-column-gap: 40px; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
     -moz-column-gap: 40px; /* Firefox */
          column-gap: 40px;
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
  #PageContentInformationSystem_tbW1yaX2pc .tb_text_wrap {
    -webkit-column-count: 1;
       -moz-column-count: 1;
            column-count: 1;
  }
}

Add these styles from the Pavilion CP > Theme Settings > Custom > Custom Stylesheet text field.

7) You don’t have to change this setting.

Any thoughts on point 5.

This is a very important issue for all opencart users as duplicate pages cause serious reduction in SEO results. There’s not much point having a website if no one can find it!

Thanks in advance

Anthony

Don’t think that you are quite understanding what I am saying.

I have a vqmod that sorts out all of the URL problems that a default Opencart installation (and most themes including Pavilion it seems) – It has sorted the none www and www issue.

The other issue and much more pressing one is Opencart architecture also duplicates every page – eg: http://example.com/desktops/mac is also http://example.com/route=product/category&path=20_27
even when SEO urls are activated, thus reducing / splitting page ranking by 50%.

The Plugin I have sorts this issue out and redirects all URL queries to the SEO URL page. I have used the plugin on a number of opencart installs successfully. Unfortunately it is not working with your theme – it appears to be producing and endless loop and thus timing out the page and making the page unsearchable.

You can see an example on my site here of the duplicated page:

http://www.now-vaping.co.uk/route=product&product_id=51
http://www.now-vaping.co.uk/snoop-dogg-herbal-vapourizer-g-pen

Same page but 2 different ways of getting to it – therefore 2 different pages in search engines “eyes” – thus splitting the page ranking !!!!

The plugin I have does away with this duplication.

So, QUESTION (As before) – Does your theme have some form of redirect or can you tell me why the Plugin is not working and can you help me fix it so that it can work. Because otherwise SEO is “Out of the Window!” and little point building an Opencart site (this is the same for all Opencart sites and probably the most important part of SEO)

At present I have the SEO Redirects turned off (when turned on the site cannot be navigated as links to Categories and Products produce an endless loop).

If I turn the SEO Redirect on and input the url:

http://www.now-vaping.co.uk/route=product&product_id=51 the page does in fact redirect the URL to:
http://www.now-vaping.co.uk/snoop-dogg-herbal-vapourizer-g-pen

but the actual page content will not load and it gives a redirect error

I would like to send you a copy of the plugin so you can have a look for yourself – how do I send it to you?
