Hi,
I want to maintain same woocommerce URL structure after using Husky plugin for woocommerce products, cstegories and all. There should not be any change on woocommerce default structure. Otherwise please let me know how to write the rule to fix the issue.
Hello Vallim
WOOF/HUSKY doesn't change WooCommerce's default URL structure. The plugin only adds filter parameters to your existing URLs when users apply filters.
For example:
- Your category URL remains: yoursite.com/product-category/shoes/
- With filters applied: https://demo-sd.products-filter.com/swoof/product_cat-t-shirt-original/
Your product URLs, category URLs, and shop page URLs stay exactly as WooCommerce configured them.
Could you please clarify:
1. What specific URL changes are you seeing?
2. Can you provide examples of:
- URL before using HUSKY
- URL after using HUSKY
- What URL structure you want to achieve
Let me know the details and I'll help you configure it correctly.
Hello,
As you said, the products URLs are looks same. It's not changed. But the Category URLs are changing. We are not able to use this URLs for SEO purpose.
For example:
Woocommerce Structure: https://www.bawatrailerparts.com.au/product-category/axles/(I need this URL without any change after using husky as well.)
After Husky: https://www.bawatrailerparts.com.au/products/swoof/product_cat-axles/
Please help me on this.
Hello Vallim
I think there's a misunderstanding about how HUSKY works. Let me clarify:
HUSKY does NOT change your category URLs at all.
Your category URL is and always will be:
https://www.bawatrailerparts.com.au/product-category/axles/
This URL works exactly as before, completely unchanged.
The /swoof/ URLs appear ONLY when customers use the filter widget.
Example scenario:
1. Customer visits: https://www.bawatrailerparts.com.au/product-category/axles/ (normal WooCommerce URL)
2. Customer uses HUSKY filter widget (selects brand, price range, etc.)
3. URL changes to: https://www.bawatrailerparts.com.au/products/swoof/product_cat-axles/pa_brand-xyz/ in the browser to show him filter results, and this is dynamic link which google not see
Why are you seeing /swoof/ URLs?
You're probably seeing them because:
- You enabled"SEO URL request" in HUSKY settings
- You're testing the filters yourself
- You created SEO Rules in the extension
For SEO purposes:
Your original category URLs remain exactly the same:
- /product-category/axles/
- /product-category/bearings/
- etc.
These are what Google indexes. These haven't changed at all.
If you don't want SEO-friendly filter URLs:
Go to HUSKY → Options → Extensions → SEO URL request → Set to"No"
Then filters will use standard query parameters instead:
https://www.bawatrailerparts.com.au/product-category/axles/?pa_brand=xyz
Bottom line:
HUSKY doesn't touch your WooCommerce category structure. The /swoof/ URLs are ONLY for filtered results when customers actively use the filter widget.
