Magento 1.13 Product URLs

Question

I have recently upgraded Magento with the Latest Magento 1.13.1.0. Now the issue is the URLS in older version are like

categroy1/subcategory1/test-product.html 
category2/test-product.html
brand/test-product.html
brand/new-product.html

where the product is assgin to 3 different categories. But after upgrade and when i run the url_migration_to_1.13.php all the urls are updated and the new url are weird.

Some of the urls are like

test-product-1.html
new-product-1-395db788289ee286662bbcabe78d99da.html

My client do not want to lose any previous URLs from older Magento.

Can any one suggest me any idea?

Thanks

• David Manners: did you ever manage to solve this issue?
• magento2new: Nope , still waiting for some solutions. I reach out to Magento for the solution and they said , we need to remove the duplicate urls ,
• Alex: AFAIR the migration script creates rewrites from the old URLs to the new ones.

Answer 1

In admin panel, System->configuration->catalog(leftside)->catalog-> Search Engine Optimization , There is a field named as: Use Category Path for Product URL's. Make this option as "YES". Then it will display as previous with the category name also. Dont forget to Re-Index after making changes. Clear CACHE once your reindexing is successful..

• magento2new: Its already set to "Yes" and i already tried reindexing and cache is already disabled. WHen i look into some other product , i found its working for some of the product , but for some product its still showing the urls i mention in my post. The one which are showing with proper category/subcategory url are still having structure like categroy1/subcategory1/test-product-1.html category2/test-product1-1-395db788289ee286662bbcabe78d99da.html
• magento2new: I found that there are some duplicate product urls and i am in progress to make it unique , but i want to know , do i also need to make it unique store wise , e.g for multi website , if the product url is abcd.html for one website do i need to change in my other website as well ?
• Pavan Kumar: no. It is not required to change. If you want to change the url in the another store, you can also change
