MageHost\_RewriteFix
--------------------

[](#magehost_rewritefix)

**We are sorry but we cannot offer customer support for this extension, and it is provided "as-is" for free. We use it at a number of big shops and it works well.**

Due to bugs in Magento, once an rewrite URL ends with -\[number\] you get more and more rewrite URLs to the same target. The number gets higher and higher. Indexing gets slower and slower.

This extension is a workaround for this problem. Requires Magento 1.7.0.2 or greater.

#### How to install using Modman (--copy)

[](#how-to-install-using-modman---copy)

1. Make sure you run Magento 1.7 or newer
2. Install [Modman](https://github.com/colinmollenhour/modman)
3. `cd` to your Magento root dir
4. `test -d .modman || modman init`
5. `modman clone --copy --force https://github.com/magehost/magehost_rewritefix`
6. If you keep your Magento code in Git: Add `.modman` to your `.gitignore`
7. Run `php shell/mh_rewrite_cleanup.php -- cleanup` once
8. Reindex the `catalog_url` index

#### Verify if needed

[](#verify-if-needed)

You can verify if your installation has this problem by using this query (presuming no DB prefix). If the largest count is > the number of store views then this is a hint that something is wrong.

```
SELECT `id_path`, COUNT(*) as `total`
FROM `core_url_rewrite`
GROUP BY `id_path`
ORDER BY `total` DESC
```

For deeper investigation you can inspect the rows with the highest count using `SELECT * FROM `core_url_rewrite` WHERE `id_path`='[id_path from previous query]'`There should be 1 entry per id\_path for every store view - and not more - unless you renamed the product URI yourself.
