ksookma:
We have always used Ulitmate SEO URL. The problem is that we are not able to add the www canonical redirect to the .htaccess file now. It just breaks the site. I have tried adding it to the beginning after the rewrite base rule and at the end of the file but no luck. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
No, my htaccess redirect works on my 1.5.1 cart with Ultimate SEO. I'm copying my htaccess below the asterisks - note that my settings for Ultimate SEO may differ from yours.
I know what you mean about the initial canonical www. But since Zencart doesn't do anything about it I wonder if it's really that big of an issue. Also, one can set their google webmasters to show the www and non-www versions and indicate to google which is the canonical, which is probably a good idea since it's all about google.
Nevertheless, just the other day I included the canonical redirect in my htaccess.
But note that before I could add the non-www the other day in my google webmasters I had to briefly remove the htaccess canonical redirect to verify the non-www version.
