Hi to all, I have a problem with the ecwid generated URL which is not clean for Google SEO, I read few post from ecwid on how to make those URL clean but it’s quite complicated to me as I am not a webmaster, btw that is the reason why I use RapidWeaver because no codding. I would like to know if there is a way to get rid of those “dirty” URL? I went for one-month subscription on ecwid make my first few categories, may I stop to use it cause of that and going back to RCP4? what are your idea and solution, thanks. ---

I think from what I’ve seen posted you need to do this with a .htaccess file. That’s not a “no code” answer but I think that’s what you’ll need to do to make Ecwid work the way you want. Have you tried that approach yet?

Ok but my problem is I have a lot of categories all with their own folder and subfolder named ‘files’ (RW convention), I don’t really want to be creating lots of .htaccess files. Is there a way I can do it for each directory in the root .htaccess? UPDATE Had another ‘play’ around!

No URL in your post. Might help if you could list what you have in the htaccess file. ---

I’m not the person that should be answering this as I don’t even have Ecwid, but looking at the documentation you would need something like this in your htaccess file. ``` RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^shop/.*$ shop.html ``` Assuming that your “store” page was called “shop.html”., and you have Turned on clean URLs in your store integration code in the shop.html file. I think @ben had mentioned in the other post that he was going to do a video on this. Don’t know what the ETA is on that. Ref: > ---

Hi everyone, This is Matt from Ecwid. David, the @teefers’ suggestion should do the trick. Please let me know if that doesn’t work for you. Also, please see this discussion on a similar case: [🛍 New RapidWeaver eCommerce Course — Free training from Realmac 🛍](http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/new-rapidweaver-ecommerce-course-free-training-from-realmac/18245/14) ---
