SEO: two different brand urls

Hello,

I have a question or more regarding the general behaviour and especially with woodmart. I’m using the brand functionality and the filter with it. I have two different links to reach the same results – *see Private Content

1. Why are there both type of URLs? SEF URLs and Parameter-URLs.
2. How can I make the SEF-URL of the brand the canonical URL?
3. Where is the first row coming from? * see Private Content
4. On the SEF URL there is still the horizontal categories list which doesn’t make sense there, since it doesn’t adapt to the brand filter and are “static” links to the categories (I see ALL products when I click on them, not only from the previously selected brand). How can I make it adapt or remove it?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello,

The first type of URLs with GET (?filter_marke=) parameter comes from our filters widgets. And the second one is generated by WooCommerce if you enable archive option for your brand attribute https://gyazo.com/6773ec3e0a0e247d5a9a4a2456439e1a
The difference is that the first one can work inside some category or tag page and with other filters, or you can filter by two or more brands.

Regards

Thank you, could you answer the other questions too?

3. Why is the “about brand” html block at the bottom – where do you assign that html block? (and I don’t know why it is now at the bottom, yesterday it was at the top – see my questions above).
4. How to remove the horizontal category list at the top (it doesn’t make sense on that page).

Thank you.

3. We don’t know how did you move it to the bottom but it comes from the brand description. You can set it for each brand in Dashboard -> Products -> Categories.

4. Try to hide it with the following CSS code

.tax-pa_marke .woodmart-product-categories {
	display: none;
}

3. How can I get it back to the top?
4. I’m sorry but hiding content via display none is not an option in modern web development – and not good for SEO. What is the proper way?

3. Did you make any customization or installed any plugins for that? Actually, there is no any option for this.

4. But there is no other way to do this. You can disable categories menu from the shop page in Theme Settings. But this page is the same shop page template in WooCommere and you can disable it globally only.

3. I didn’t install a plugin related to that (only bulk edit tool, wc Field Factory etc – but nothing which changes layout. The description went down after playing with the taxonomies for brands.
4. Well, that’s a pity.

3. Very strange, could you please provide us your admin and FTP access so we can check why it moved to the bottom?

I found the problem. After copying the breadcrumbs.php from woocommerce as suggested in this thread (https://xtemos.com/forums/topic/custom-breadcrumb-title-from-yoast-ignored-by-product-category-pages/) the Breadcrumbs and the category description are layouted wrong. I deleted the breadcrumbs.php from the child theme. Will investigate later.

OK, contact us if you will need more help with this question.
