redirecturl
How to access subcategory without having url-key of the parent category in the url?
for example
aboutus---parent category
about vc---sub category
about gurkha---sub category
Now I have to redirect sub category to page named about-vc and about-gurkha without going through parent category.link should open like this
magento.com/index.php/about-vc
magento.com/index.php/about-gurkha
not like
magento.com/index.php/about-us/about-vc
Thank You
You can do this by "URL Rewrite Management"
Catalog->URL Rewrite Management-> Click "Add URL Rewrite" button Then Select "For Category" -> Select a category you want to rewrite to product page.
Then enter your product url in 4th field "Request Path". here hoodies.html is my product URL: http://localhost.com/magento/hoodies.html and then Select "redirect permanent 301" from the list "Redirect".
Here is a workaround did. I created a text attribute and allowed it to be searchable on the front-end. Then I added the SKU's of the associated simple products to that attribute on the grouped product page. I had to type each SKU in manually and separate them by a comma so it is not as efficient.
The result is a user can search for a simple product SKU and the grouped product that the simple product is associated with will show in the search results.

It looks like you could also solve this using CMS pages. You can always include products in a CMS page too using static blocks or widgets. Have you tried creating 2 CMS pages with the following URL keys?
If that doesn't help, you can create redirects using the following steps:
Store: The store view this URL rewrite will apply to. You must create one redirect for each store view
ID path: aboutus
Request path: about-vc.html
Target path: catalog/category/view/id/
Redirect: No
This will tell Magento to load a category page when the user requests "about-vc.html". You can change this value to whatever you want.
