I currently have User SEO URL's set to Yes in OpenCart Admin.
System -> Settings -> Store -> Server -> User SEO URL's
So far, all tags and SEO links are working; the command has done the desired effect.
However for the homepage and a few other links; how do I remove:
index.php?route=common/home
From the URL? Do I have to literally do a find and replace in the hardcode PHP files and risk upgrades or is there another way?
(without bloating performance i.e no poor amateur tools such as vQmod)
To simply remove that, you can do a basic replace in /catalog/controller/common/seo_url.php
Find:
return $link;
Before it on a new line put:
$link = str_replace('index.php?route=common/home', '', $link);
Edit by TheBlackBenzKid: If you want full SEO just use this line instead of the above:
$link = str_replace('index.php?route=', '', $link);
Also make sure SEO URLs is turned on in the Admin panel of the store.
index.php?route= as essentially that is what is needed. –
Lithiasis product/search&page=2&query=something which is an invalid URL, so I would advise against what you've got above –
Thyestes /catalog/controller/common/seo_url.php but yes in /system/libray/url.php –
Boelter index.php?route=common/home in the admin too, but nothing breaks there and works perfectly, because the code handles to put the ? in the right place. The query string is preserved in all cases, including the admin token. With the code I suggested we can get rid of the annoying index.php?route=common/home forever, and only it. –
Boelter http://mydomain.tld/index.php?route=common/home AND http://mydomain.tld/. Which is bad for SEO, I have now two links pointing to my index page. –
Curd return str_replace...? –
Gothicize return $link those wouldn't affect it –
Thyestes I really like Victor Schröder's solution above for it's simplicity. Thanks! I created a vQmod based on his code mods in case it would be helpful to anyone. here is the code:
<modification>
<file name="system/library/url.php">
<operation>
<search position="before"><![CDATA[$url .= 'index.php?route=' . $route;]]></search>
<add><![CDATA[
if ('common/home' == $route) {
if ($args) {
$url .= '?' . str_replace('&', '&', '&' . ltrim($args, '&'));
}
} else {
]]></add>
</operation>
<operation>
<search position="before"><![CDATA[foreach ($this->rewrite as $rewrite) {]]></search>
<add><![CDATA[
}

<file name="catalog/controller/common/seo_url.php">

<search position="replace"><![CDATA[parse_str($url_info['query'], $data);]]></search>
<add><![CDATA[
if (isset($url_info['query'])) parse_str($url_info['query'], $data);
]]></add>
</operation>
</file>
</modification>
The previous "solutions" are wrong because they are attacking the SEO URL translate. What you want is to deal with the URL generation inside OpenCart.
Let's keep it simple. Go to /system/library/url.php and look at the public function link. Replace the function with this version:
public function link($route, $args = '', $connection = 'NONSSL') {
if ('NONSSL' == $connection) {
$url = $this->url;
} else {
$url = $this->ssl;
}
if ('common/home' == $route) {
if ($args) {
$url .= '?' . str_replace('&', '&', '&' . ltrim($args, '&'));
}
} else {
$url .= 'index.php?route=' . $route;
if ($args) {
$url .= str_replace('&', '&', '&' . ltrim($args, '&'));
}
}
foreach ($this->rewrite as $rewrite) {
$url = $rewrite->rewrite($url);
}
return $url;
}
Simple like that. I can't belive why this is not in OpenCart's core.
EDIT:
I run some tests and if the SEO URLs are enabled, it becomes necessary to make one single edit in the /catalog/controller/common/seo_url.php to avoid an "Undefined index" error.
Inside public function rewrite, replace this line:
parse_str($url_info['query'], $data);
With this one:
if (isset($url_info['query'])) parse_str($url_info['query'], $data);
Now it really works.

Thermonuclear Step 01. Enable USE SEO URL’s in your store server settings
Go to the “System” and click on “Settings”. Locate the store you want to alter and click the “Edit” link on the right. Finally click the “Server” tab and set the SEO URL’s radio to “Yes” and save your settings.
Note: The keywords will not be created for you automatically. You must also have Apache mod_rewrite turned on. Most web hosts will have this on by default. Step 3 of this tutorial will explain how to add the keywords.
Step 02. Change some content in your .htaccess file to make your homepage SEO URL Friendly
Go to your host control panel and edit your .htaccess file. Sometimes this file is hidden in order to unhide it you can click on your web host control panel file manager and tick the show hidden files option followed by the “go” button.
Once you locate the .htaccess file change the following lines:
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
RewriteRule ^googlebase.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_base [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|js|css)
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
To:
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
RewriteRule ^googlebase.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_base [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|js|css)
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^route=common/home$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://www.yourwebsite.co.uk? [R=301,L]
If you do the step above your home page will change from something like this: http://yourwebsite.com/index.php?route=common/home to this: http://yourwebsite.com
Step 03. Enter SEO Keywords for URL’s manually Finally, you need to enter SEO keywords for every page, information, product and category you want to have URL rewrite. You can find the field for the SEO Keywords under the Data tab when editing and creating items.
Once you have entered the SEO Keywords your URL’s will be working.
Once you have followed all these instructions you can begin to reap the benefits of higher rankings, increased traffic and more customers.
How about replacing a link in logo with <?php echo $base; ?>. It will make a link to base domain and will remove index.php?route=common/home.

Lithiasis Jay's solution doesn't work for me, after editing I get blank screen. So I made a new one:
Put the line before:
return $link;
Instead of after:
public function rewrite($link) {
Put the line before: return $link; Instead of after: public function rewrite($link) { i do not get ... what are you trying to say ... please help –
Perimeter So, I'm using 1.5.5.1 and no one answer on this question solved my problem. However, combining the answers from @Jay Gilford, @TheBlackBenzKid and @rkaartikeyen I came up with a fully working solution.
Remember to enable seo urls as shown by @TheBlackBenzKid.
An explanation can be found below the code.
[php]
class ControllerCommonSeoUrl extends Controller {
public function index() {
// Add rewrite to url class
if ($this->config->get('config_seo_url')) {
$this->url->addRewrite($this);
}
// Decode URL
if (isset($this->request->get['_route_'])) {
$parts = explode('/', $this->request->get['_route_']);
foreach ($parts as $part) {
$query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "url_alias WHERE keyword = '" . $this->db->escape($part) . "'");
if ($query->num_rows) {
$url = explode('=', $query->row['query']);
if ($url[0] == 'product_id') {
$this->request->get['product_id'] = $url[1];
}
if ($url[0] == 'category_id') {
if (!isset($this->request->get['path'])) {
$this->request->get['path'] = $url[1];
} else {
$this->request->get['path'] .= '_' . $url[1];
}
}
if ($url[0] == 'manufacturer_id') {
$this->request->get['manufacturer_id'] = $url[1];
}
if ($url[0] == 'information_id') {
$this->request->get['information_id'] = $url[1];
}
} else {
$this->request->get['route'] = 'error/not_found';
}
}
if (isset($this->request->get['product_id'])) {
$this->request->get['route'] = 'product/product';
} elseif (isset($this->request->get['path'])) {
$this->request->get['route'] = 'product/category';
} elseif (isset($this->request->get['manufacturer_id'])) {
$this->request->get['route'] = 'product/manufacturer/info';
} elseif (isset($this->request->get['information_id'])) {
$this->request->get['route'] = 'information/information';
}else {
$this->request->get['route'] = $this->request->get['_route_'];
}
if (isset($this->request->get['route'])) {
return $this->forward($this->request->get['route']);
}
}
}
public function rewrite($link) {
$url_info = parse_url(str_replace('&', '&', $link));
$url = '';
$data = array();
parse_str($url_info['query'], $data);
foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
if (isset($data['route'])) {
if (($data['route'] == 'product/product' && $key == 'product_id') || (($data['route'] == 'product/manufacturer/info' || $data['route'] == 'product/product') && $key == 'manufacturer_id') || ($data['route'] == 'information/information' && $key == 'information_id')) {
$query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "url_alias WHERE `query` = '" . $this->db->escape($key . '=' . (int)$value) . "'");
if ($query->num_rows) {
$url .= '/' . $query->row['keyword'];
unset($data[$key]);
}
} elseif ($key == 'path') {
$categories = explode('_', $value);
foreach ($categories as $category) {
$query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "url_alias WHERE `query` = 'category_id=" . (int)$category . "'");
if ($query->num_rows) {
$url .= '/' . $query->row['keyword'];
}
}
unset($data[$key]);
}
}
}
if ($url) {
unset($data['route']);
$query = '';
if ($data) {
foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
$query .= '&' . $key . '=' . $value;
}
if ($query) {
$query = '?' . trim($query, '&');
}
}
return $url_info['scheme'] . '://' . $url_info['host'] . (isset($url_info['port']) ? ':' . $url_info['port'] : '') . str_replace('/index.php', '', $url_info['path']) . $url . $query;
} else {
$link = str_replace('index.php?route=', '', $link);
return $link;
}
}
}
Apparently, @Jay Gilford and @TheBlackBenzKid solve the issue of the urls being properly written on the page.
Line 113
$link = str_replace('index.php?route=', '', $link);
But it seems to break the urls since the Controller can't find the pages and therefore reverts to the error page.
Line 38 - 40
} else {
$this->request->get['route'] = 'error/not_found';
}
@rkaartikeyen's solution solves this problem by setting the current route to the requested route
Line 51 - 53
else {
$this->request->get['route'] = $this->request->get['_route_'];
}
I came late but my solution could be useful for others (tested on Opencart 2.0.3.1):
Open your MySQL console and run this query (change YOURDATABASE with your db name):
INSERT INTO `YOURDATABASE`.`url_alias` (`url_alias_id`, `query`, `keyword`) VALUES (NULL, 'common/home', ' ');
How it works:
The trick consists in adding a WHITE SPACE (' ') for the column "keyword", if you insert an empty string ('') this workaround doesn't work and the url rewriter will return again index.php?route=common/home.
1.5.5.1.2, but with space at keyword I have %20 at the end of my url when clicking to logo so I removed the space. –
Thermonuclear For me, the simplest way to do it:
1- Go to /system/library/url.php
2- Locate function link(
3- Above return $url; put the following line:
$url = str_replace('index.php?route=common/home', '', $url);
First of all in root folder of your website rename htaccess.txt into .htaccess.
Then go to System > Settings > Your store. Edit. Open tab Server and set Use SEO URLs to Yes.
Now open catalog/controller/startup/seo_url.php
Find } elseif ($key == 'path') {
Add before
} elseif ($key == 'route') {
$query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "seo_url WHERE `query` = '" . $this->db->escape($value) . "' AND store_id = '" . (int)$this->config->get('config_store_id') . "' AND language_id = '" . (int)$this->config->get('config_language_id') . "'");
if ($query->num_rows && $query->row['keyword']) {
$url .= '/' . $query->row['keyword'];
unset($data[$key]);
} else if ($data['route'] == "common/home") {
$url .= '/';
}
Now /index.php?route=common/home becames /
And now you can although set SEO URLs in Design > SEO URL using constructions like account/login or information/contact.
/catalog/controller/common/seo_url.php
Open the file and replace the below code
<?php

------------------ WHERE THE CHANGE -------------------------
The below Line i added in Public Function index() also Public Function rewrite.
else {
this->request->get['route'] = $this->request->get['_route_'];
}
index() function Perform like this
i got this http://www.antropy.co.uk/index.php/blog/one-quick-opencart-seo-tip-to-avoid-a-duplicate-home-page/ worked for me in removing the code for my homepage
In file \system\library\response.php add next line at the beginning of the public function output()
if (!defined('HTTP_CATALOG')) $this->output = str_replace(array('index.php?route=common/home', '?route=common/home'), '', $this->output);
In Opencart 3, if you want to redirect all ugly urls, like
index.php?route=common/home
index.php?route=account/register
index.php?route=product/product&path=244&product_id=481
You need to add your pretty urls to Admin -> Design -> SEO Urls similar to
then do this: In catalog/controller/startup/seo_url.php, in function index, after
if ($this->config->get('config_seo_url')) {
$this->url->addRewrite($this);
}
add this
if (isset($this->request->get['route'])) {
if (DOMAIN_ROOT . $this->request->server['REQUEST_URI'] != $this->rewrite(DOMAIN_ROOT . $this->request->server['REQUEST_URI'])) {
$this->response->redirect($this->rewrite(DOMAIN_ROOT . $this->request->server['REQUEST_URI']));
}
}
elseif (strpos($this->request->server['REQUEST_URI'], 'index') !== false) {
$this->response->redirect(HTTPS_SERVER);
}
Add last step is to define DOMAIN_ROOT in config.php with
define('DOMAIN_ROOT', 'https://www.somedomain.org'); // no slash, no subfolder
It works very well for me
To remove index.php?route= from urls I simply recommend to edit .htaccess file.
Just add this:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /index\.php\?_route_=?([^&\ ]*)
RewriteRule ^ /%1? [L,R]
I encounter no problems whatsoever. Just remember that you need to have RewriteEngine enabled. Look for this line: RewriteEngine On. If not present, past it before above code.
