There seems to be a lot of /404/ urls for Virtuemart. How can I get rid of these? And make them link to the correct URL with the categories /category1/category2/ - it works that way too but I have a lot of /404/productname on Google now.

I use Joomla 3.6.4 and latest VM 3.0.18.

Hi

I would suggest you delete them, then see if they come back.

If that happens, then you would need to find where on your site are those URLs found: do you have a menu item called 404, or VM category called 404, or something similar.

I have deleted then several times and they do get back all the time.

I will have to look if I have 404 - I really think that would be strange though. As it gives all categories and all products its own /404/ URL

Well, yes that's weird. Normally we use categories names. And also, if Virtuemart router.php files asks for it, we use menu items. So those are really the 2 ways "404" can make it into a URL.

Note that you need to look at categories/menu items titles, but also aliases.

I found a deleted category in VirtueMarts category tabels. And this had some prodcuts assigend to that one already.

Hi

Ah ok, glad you found it. Be sure to delete those URLs, and this time they should not come back.
