remove the extention html from product pages

[bostamaster]

Hello,

I want to migrate from woocommerce on wordpress to prestashop and I have to keep the same urls as much as I can.

I did not know how to remove ".html"

i also could not remove "info/" in the path of cms pages in SEO/URL menu.

 

PS: I installed cleanurls and it removed ids from product pages which is good.

be very careful that however you end up doing this (there are plenty of examples outside of ps forum to do this using rewrites via .htaccess) that your sitemap also reflects this.

 I have to be careful from what? sitemap reflecting what?  sorry i did not understund.

It may 'not' be any real issue, I remember reading something about 'possible' issue where the sitemap has .html in url's  but the known resolved links did not.  Something you may want to search for yourself outside of ps.

Yes but i am migrating from woocommerce; so I need to keep the same URLs

As far as I know, it should be enough to simply get rid of .html in the seo and urls page (urls schema tab)

 

I just tried and it works for me

Do you use cleanurls. because i use cleanurls to hide id from urls but when i try to remove .html i get products not found in the front

no, I don't use that, it might not be compatible with the result you want to achieve, I used the regular SEO and URLs tab in the back office

personally I would look for solution using .htaccess rewrites, there are many examples outside of prestashop

 

here is one example you can try  NOTE: THIS IS UNTESTED

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html
</IfModule>

It does not work. is there a plugin that can remove "/content" (not replace it by another word) and remove ".html"
