Removing main category path from sub-categories URLS

[andidhouse99]

Hi there,

is there a way to remove main categories in the sub / sub/sub etc. category urls?

We need this 1) for SEO reason and 2) it is better if you move categories to another main category for example so the path always stays the same:

Magento 2.0 behavior: 

main category: domain.com/main

sub category: domain.com/main/sub1

sub sub category: domain.com/main/sub1/sub2

We need:

main category: domain.com/main

sub category: domain.com/sub1

sub sub category: domain.com/sub2

I think there is no backend settings for that or is there?

How can we achieve this?

Many thanks!

André

Hi Dmitry,

thanks for your reply but the question was not how to remove the category url in the product urls but the main category url in the subcategories. 

It would be great if you could post a solution here.

Hi Jelte,

no i am sorry.

The magento team did not get back with an answer to me also i think a ecommerce system which is not be able to change the category structure by default is not practice.

We ended up in writing our own module for that :-/
