The URLs on migrated products/categories are incorrect

My Product/Category URLs are Incorrect After Magento Ecommerce Data Migration. What Should I Do?

After completing your ecommerce data migration to Magento using Cart2Cart, you might find that the URLs for your products and categories aren't working as expected. This is often due to Magento's URL rewrite system needing a refresh after a large import of data. Here's how to resolve it:

Step-by-Step Guide to Rebuilding SEO Links After Ecommerce Data Migration to Magento

1. Clear Magento Cache: Log in to your Magento admin panel.
2. Navigate to System -> Cache Management.
3. Select all cache types by checking the boxes next to them.
4. Choose "Refresh" from the "Actions" dropdown menu.
5. Click "Submit". This will clear the outdated cache.
6. Reindex Data: Go to System -> Index Management.
7. Select all indexes that are showing as "Reindex Required".
8. Choose "Update on schedule" from the "Actions" dropdown menu.
9. Click "Submit". Magento will now reindex the data.
10. Rebuild URL Rewrites: Navigate to Marketing -> SEO & Search -> URL Rewrites.
11. Click "Add URL Rewrite".
12. In the "Create URL Rewrite" dropdown, select "For Category" or "For Product" depending on which URLs are incorrect.
13. Choose the specific Category or Product that needs a rewrite.
14. Ensure the "Request Path" and "Target Path" are correctly set. If not, manually adjust them.
15. Save the URL Rewrite.
16. Repeat steps 8-13 for any other incorrect URLs.

Important Considerations:

• Magento Version: These steps apply to most Magento versions. Consult the official Magento documentation for your specific version if you encounter any discrepancies.
• Large Catalogs: If you have a very large catalog, reindexing and rebuilding URL rewrites might take some time. Be patient and allow the process to complete.
• Custom Extensions: If you are using any custom SEO extensions, they might interfere with the standard URL rewrite process. Consult the extension's documentation or contact the developer for assistance.

By following these steps, you should be able to correct any incorrect product or category URLs after your ecommerce data migration to Magento. If you continue to experience issues, don't hesitate to contact Cart2Cart support for further assistance.
