Remove category and subcategory from the product url opencart

Question

I want to remove category and sub-category name from the product URL in the opencart. I have made changes in seo_url.php file. Where I have replaced

$url .= '/' . $query->row['keyword'];

with

$url = '/' . $query->row['keyword'];

But still the url is not changed. Can any one suggest me what to do. I am using opencart version 2.0.3.1

Answer 1

are you sure you've replaced all?

$url .= '/' . $query->row['keyword'];

in seo_url.php file there is 3 matches.

Answer 2

Replace all occurrence of

$url .= '/' . $query->row['keyword'];

with

$url = '/' . $query->row['keyword'];

to remove category from product url. there are only two occurence of it
