Hello

Since I upgraded to DNN 4.5.5 my url's are not quite as they should be. In order to access my site on line I must key in the URL into the adddress bar as I have found that by keying in the full URL in Google search for example, it no longer brings my site up as it once did.

My child pages are listed but my home page is not. Instead half way down the page (after several child pages ) my home page is shown (indented as a child page might be displayed). But  the URL is unfriendly instead of www.mywebsite.com it is www.mywebsite.com/Default.aspx?base, which will bring me to my site home page displaying the same unfriendly URL.  But in order to access a friendly URL for my home page I need to key www.mywebsite.com/home  which will take me to my friendly URL home page.

How can I get rid of the unfriendly URL for my home page and retain my friendly one as default.  I am using friendly URL module which is working fine for all the rest of the site. I have set my default home page in my site settings but it has made no difference.

Thanks

Lynn

Lynn,

entering a domain name or a folder in it will be resulted in searching for the first default document in there - in ASP.Net usually default.aspx

?base has been added to the icon link only, you can simply omit it.

if you need more enhanced user friendly URLs, you need a 3rd party URL rewriter.

Hi leupold

Thanks for your reply.

I am already using 3rd party URL friendly rewriter and this strange occurrance has only recently started to happen.  Previously I was able to see and access my friendly URL at the top of Google search page.

Omit default.aspx?base,  I am not sure what you mean.

Hi Lynn,

Here's the story on ?base being added to the logo link, which as you have noticed messes with a website's SEO.
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/108/threadid/158084/scope/posts/Default.aspx

Basically it was a bad hack to fix the Logo showing up on Casini web server.

You can use PageBlaster to fix it:

In your Snapsis.PageBlaster.config file add a replacement rule like this:

 <rule>
           <ruleName>Remove base hack</ruleName>
           <searchFor>default.aspx\?base$</searchFor>
           <replaceWith>default.aspx</replaceWith>
</rule>

You may also want to remove the page name which would be even better in my opinion.

 <rule>
           <ruleName>Remove base hack</ruleName>
           <searchFor>default.aspx\?base$</searchFor>
           <replaceWith></replaceWith>
</rule>
