Migration from Magento 1 to Magento 2 often leads to a problem to save some categories on the backend. There appears this unavoidable error “URL key for specified store already exists”. Our team has thoroughly investigated the problem and come to a conclusion there is no unified and reliable solution to thrash out the problem. Even if you managed to remove all duplicated URLs, the error would surface again after another "Save" procedure.
The extension can help you remedy all post-migration defects relating to URLs. Just in one SSH command. As a result of it, you get:
• all URLs unique
• properly regenerated url_rewrite table (Reindex URL Rewrites)
• bug-free Magento 2 in terms of URLs
Description
There are numerous reasons for the error “URL key for specified store already exists”. We can name the most prominent one, which is the fact there must be some overlapping URL keys between products, categories, and CMS Pages. Magento 1 is indulgent to such cases and would solve the dilemma with duplicated URLs by appending [url_key]-1, [url_key]-2, etc. Magento 2, in turn, considers any duplication as an error.
Migration process involves hundreds or even thousands of duplicated URL keys to wander from Magento 1 to Magento 2. This makes the problem totally immense. To make it worse, the problem can't be addressed by just making URL keys unique. The “url_rewrite” table, as well as the “URL Path” attribute, has to be generated anew.
Furthermore, the indexing procedure is usually accompanied by various code issues of Magento 2. We keep this situation under control with the help of the extension. Hence, if you decide to remove the plugin after solving the problem with URLs, the errors will find their way back to your Magento 2 again because there will be nothing to stop them.
How to Use
Install the extension following the instruction.
Enter the console and run the command "php bin/magento
" to make sure the new commands are available:
• php bin/magento url-optimization:optimize-all
• php bin/magento url-optimization:optimize-all-force
• php bin/magento url-optimization:unique-url-keys
• php bin/magento url-optimization:generate-url-rewrites
*
*A complete optimization effect can be achieved by running just a single command:
• php bin/magento url-optimization:optimize-all
The other 3 commands are additional tools for developers mostly. The 'force' command skips forming a MySQL transaction, which might be helpful in case of issues with DB.
The flow of a URL optimization process is displayed in detail in the console and, for convenience, logged in:
var/log/url_optimization.log
