Magento – URL Rewrite not working

categoryurl-rewrite

I am trying to add in a url redirect in the admin system so I can bypass a category page to go straight to the product as there is only 1 product in that category. In the Catalog => URL Rewrite Management section I have the following entered:

Type – Custom
ID Path – category/15
Request Path – labels
Target Path – labels/a4.html
Redirect – Yes

But when I go to the labels page it doesn't redirect. I know that it definitely has a category ID of 15 and that the labels/a4.html is correct

The value of the Request Path should be the path when you go to the "labels" category in your browser, which I'm going to guess is "labels.html" based on your product settings (though there are two separate URL suffix settings for products and categories).

The responsible model is Mage_Core_Model_Url_Rewrite which has several possible methods to load:

$rewrite = Mage::getModel('core/url_rewrite')->loadByRequestPath($path)
$rewrite = Mage::getModel('core/url_rewrite')->loadByIdPath($path) and the usual
$rewrite = Mage::getModel('core/url_rewrite')->load($id)

And then it's a standard attribute getter:

$rewrite->getTargetPath()

Magento – URL Rewrite Management problem with rewrites

I think the Catalog URL system is creating an URL for the product and the rewrite being created by you is not working because of that.

Do this: 1. remove the custom rewrite you created manually. 2. go to product and create the rewrite from there. This means adding as URL key the string you want to use. For example, if you want www.domain.com/magento-2 put only magento-2 in the URL key field.
