Remove index.php?route=common/home from OpenCart

Question

I currently have User SEO URL\'s set to Yes in OpenCart Admin.

System -> Settings -> Store -> Server -> User SEO URL\'s

Answer 1

To remove index.php?route= from urls I simply recommend to edit .htaccess file.

Just add this:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /index\.php\?_route_=?([^&\ ]*)
RewriteRule ^ /%1? [L,R]

I encounter no problems whatsoever. Just remember that you need to have RewriteEngine enabled. Look for this line: RewriteEngine On. If not present, past it before above code.
