*SOLVED* https in google results?

[ngruy]

Hello,

I don´t know why but now all my page results in google show in front https://.

Anyone know why this happened and how can i fix it?

thank you!

That's weird, I thought https sites weren't picked up by google, at all.

Maybe one of the mods can help with this

This is something really weird which I have never heard before, as far as I know that's true that https sites are not picked up by google. I think you should check your pages once again to google. If they are showing the same thing once again, means someone might have done updation to your site about which you might not be knowing.

More weird....i add a "like" facebook button to CMS pages with facebook code

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.mysite.com&layout=standard&show_faces=true&width=250&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:250px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

or

but when someone "like", in the wall appear my site URL with HTTPS!!

I don´t know how to think, maybe i have some extrange code in .htaccess??.. i have this:

OK....i have a very large night today....but i find it!

For some reason the bookmark and search use a "https" so google cache it in https ...

bookmark

[removed]addBookmark('https://www.mysite.com/', 'Web La site')

how can i fix this?

in modules/blocksearch/blocksearch-top.tpl i modified

<form method="get" action="{$base_dir_ssl}search.php" id="searchbox">

to

<form method="get" action="{$base_dir}search.php" id="searchbox">

and now the result page are in http

make an account on google, and go to webmaster tools ..see there how does google see your site..you cans elect there with www or without....maybe it helps you

[marry89]

While Google could eventually take the new site (version non-HTTPS),It might be better to use 301 permanent redirects from the HTTPS version tothe HTTP version.This will help Google to delete the old site of the index and help
pass all incoming links (PR) and users to the new version of the site.

[elisajohn]

Google account is helps you to getting its all information. Select webmaster tools and you can get the information that how google see your site. Check with the www or without the www, you can get the https in google result.

ngruy - How did you resolve this? My facebook like link also gets changed to https. My searchmodule already uses {base_dir}

[ngruy]

Hi, funally i find a solution for this problem!, i tested for 2 month and all the "https" in search results disapear and the correct link was listed.

 

1- Create a second robots.txt, calling it robots_ssl.txt Upload this file to the root level of your domain.

 

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

 

2- A the following commands to your .htaccess file in the root document folder of your webserver:

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteRule ^robots.txt$ robots_ssl.txt

 

This command instructs the webserver to direct any requests for the robots.txt file made on port 443 (used for SSL web connections rather than port 80 for standard web connections) to the second file that we created, disallowing indexing.

Thanks for this solution ngruy!

I have set up a number of Prestashop site but only having this issue with Google displaying https in the serach results for on of them - what is it that has caused this to happen in the first place?

[babyewok]

I think it is to do with the caconocal url module. I just checked the module on a version of Prestashop where this is not an issue and there seems to be a difference here in canonicalurl.php:

 

Packaged with prestashop 1.3.1.1

function hookHeader($params)
{
 global $smarty, $protocol_link, $rewrited_url;

 $canonicalUrl = Configuration::get('CANONICAL_URL');
 $ps_request = str_replace(__PS_BASE_URI__, '', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

 if (strlen(Configuration::get('CANONICAL_URL')) > 0)
 $smarty->assign('canonical_url', $protocol_link.$canonicalUrl.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
 return $this->display(__FILE__, 'canonicalurl.tpl');
}

 

Packaged with prestashop 1.3.7.0

 

public function hookHeader($params)
{
 global $smarty;

 $canonicalUrl = Configuration::get('CANONICAL_URL');
 $ps_request = str_replace(__PS_BASE_URI__, '', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
 $protocol_link = ((Configuration::get('PS_SSL_ENABLED')) ? 'https://' : 'http://');
 if (strlen(Configuration::get('CANONICAL_URL')) > 0)
  $smarty->assign('canonical_url', $protocol_link.$canonicalUrl.Tools::htmlentitiesUTF8(rawurldecode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])));
 return $this->display(__FILE__, 'canonicalurl.tpl');
}

 

Plus a couple of other referrences to https. The older version does not seem to check if SSL is enabled while the new one does and if true then lists the https:// as the canonical url which is not what we want!

 

Does anyone have any advice on how to edit the canonical.php pacakaged with 1.3.7.0 so that it disregards whether ssl is enabled?

[babyewok]

@ngruy if I just impemented your robots.txt solution without a 301 redirect for https traffic won't I lose out on my google rankings? I have set up a 301 redirect to redirect all https traffic to https EXCEPT those pages that need it, but it causes a security error in IE - any ideas?
