Reading my statement back it looks sorta confusing.

 

I was suggesting that you

 

......a ) add a SEO contribution (not suggesting any specific one)

 

..or..b ) turn on SEO urls in the configuration.

 

I went on to say that the configuration option has always functioned correctly in my experience.

 

Lastly I commented that search engines index pages not variables like "?cPath=22_50&osCsid=0faf9cfa6c3d16d36a2f9c7d7573fb81".

When you click a link on your site, the next page has a URL of something like this:

 

xtreme-hobby.net/product_info.php?products_id=193

 

In order to get to the product's page you have to go to that complete URL. GoogleBot and other search bots don't see anything past the "?" - so these bots will keep trying to follow links, but will usually go only to the first part of the URL (xtreme-hobby.net/product_info.php) and will never see the rest of your site.

 

The SEO contribution fixes this issue by turning the above link into something like this:

 

xtreme-hobby.net/product_info.php/products_id/193

 

That will let the bots follow through to the rest of your pages. On your site, go to;

 

Your Admin > Configuration > My Store > "Use Search-Engine Safe URLs (still in development)" > [Edit] > (•)True > [update]

 

That should set you up without having to install any contributions.

Hmm. My site did almost the same thing the first time I tried that. What do your session settings look like? Mine are:

 

Session Directory: /xtreme-tmp

Force Cookie Use: False

Check SSL Session ID: False

Check User Agent: False

Check IP Address: False

Prevent Spider Sessions: True

Recreate Session: False
